Mandeep Singh and Travis Head were batting on 48 and 35 when the match was stopped.

KKR will now be under pressure to secure the magic number 16 and seal their place in the knock-out stage after Mumbai became the first team to secure a play-off berth.

Skipper Steven Smith scored an unbeaten 51 off 37 balls for the hosts.

Electing to bat, Delhi rushed to a 50-run opening stand in just 4.4 overs with the opening duo of Sanju Samson (39) and Sam Billings (21) sending the KKR bowlers on a leather hunt.

Delhi Daredevils skipper Zaheer Khan won the toss and elected to bat against Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium here today.

Kolkata, on the other hand, have won three out of their four encounters so far, and will aim to consolidate their stay atop the points table.

Smarting from a defeat at the hands of Mumbai Indians in their last game, KKR were bolstered by the return of fit-again India pacer Umesh Yadav and New Zealand all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme.

The Purple Brigade, champions in 2012 and 2014, may boast of a 13-6 win-loss record against the perennial bridesmaid but the scenario looks different, especially in the context of an injured Chris Lynn, the leading run-getter of the season.

Lynn hurt his shoulder while fielding against Mumbai Indians on Sunday.
