It was another evening of incredible batsmanship in Sharjah as Delhi Capitals defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 18 runs.

Delhi captain Sheryas Iyer led the way with an unbeaten 88 from just 38 balls, with good support from opener Prithvi Shaw who hit 66, as Delhi posted 228-4.

Given what had happened in previous matches at the venue, the Knight Riders would have been confident of putting up a good fight. But Delhi pacer Anrich Nortje (3-33) struck at crucial moments to restrict Kolkata to 210-8.

Eoin Morgan (44) and Rahul Tripathi (36) continued to fight until the end but 92 runs from the last five overs was too big an ask.

Know before you go
  • Jebel Akhdar is a two-hour drive from Muscat airport or a six-hour drive from Dubai. It’s impossible to visit by car unless you have a 4x4. Phone ahead to the hotel to arrange a transfer.
  • If you’re driving, make sure your insurance covers Oman.
  • By air: Budget airlines Air Arabia, Flydubai and SalamAir offer direct routes to Muscat from the UAE.
  • Tourists from the Emirates (UAE nationals not included) must apply for an Omani visa online before arrival at evisa.rop.gov.om. The process typically takes several days.
  • Flash floods are probable due to the terrain and a lack of drainage. Always check the weather before venturing into any canyons or other remote areas and identify a plan of escape that includes high ground, shelter and parking where your car won’t be overtaken by sudden downpours.
