Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Delhi Capitals by 3 wickets, chasing down 139 in 19.5 overs and will now play the Finals against Chennai Super Kings on Friday. After the win, KKR captain Eoin Morgan said, “We are in the entertainment business and need to play some entertaining cricket. Six off 2 and you would say the odds are for the bowling side. But Tripathi has done it for us so many times.”

“We will dissect what happened in the last four overs. The openers gave us a great platform. But we have won and we are in the finals. We are delighted to get over the line. The guys coming in feel free to express themselves. The backroom staff have created an excellent atmosphere for that to happen. With the squad we have, we had huge expectations. Our coach BMac saw Iyer and had tracked his progress. Iyer seems to be batting on a different wicket. Anything can happen in a final!”
