Especially Finn Allen's devastating century will give the team a huge confidence boost. The bowling department also performed well, which is a big positive for KKR.
On the other hand, this loss is quite disappointing for Delhi Capitals. The lack of consistency in both the batting and bowling departments was evident. If they want to turn things around in the upcoming matches, the middle order and bowling unit will have to show more responsible performances.
