thebalanced.newsFinn Allen's 47-Ball Century Leads KKR to Fourth Straight IPL Win Over Delhi Capitals
Kolkata Knight Riders secured their fourth consecutive IPL 2026 win by defeating Delhi Capitals by eight wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Finn Allen scored his maiden IPL century off 47 balls, hitting 10 sixes and five fours, guiding KKR to chase down 143 in 14.2 overs. KKR's spinners, including Sunil Narine and Anukul Roy, restricted Delhi to 142 for 8. Cameron Green supported Allen with an unbeaten 33. Delhi's batting struggled after a strong start from Pathum Nissanka, and the loss further jeopardizes their playoff chances.
