Delhi Daredevils 146-8 in 20 overs (Manoj Tiwary 32, Shreyas Iyer 31, Unmukt Chand 58; Umesh Yadav 2-18) lost to Kolkata Knight Riders 147-4 in 18.1 overs (Guatam Gambhir 60, Yusuf Pathan 40; Dominic Muthuswami 2-18).

Kolkata Knight Riders eased to victory over the Delhi Daredevils at Feraz Shah Kolta on Monday night to pick up their third win in four Indian Premier League matches this season.

Delhi were put in to bat by the hosts and could only set a target of 147, losing wickets regularly as none of their batsmen found top gear.

Kolkata chased down the total with 11 balls to spare, mainly thanks to a 60 from Guatam Gambhir and an unbeaten 40 from Yusuf Pathan.

Kolkata and Delhi remain in third and fourth respectively on the IPL table.
