Finn Allen smashed a stunning unbeaten hundred as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) beat Delhi Capitals (DC) by eight wickets in their IPL 2026 clash on Friday. Batting first, DC were restricted to 142/8 in 20 overs, with Kartik Tyagi and Anukul Roy scalping two wickets each.
KKR then reached the target in just 14.2 overs with eight wickets in hand as well. The win marked KKR’s fourth consecutive win after a run of five straight losses earlier as well. After the match, Cameron Green shared how he helped Allen reach the feat and helped KKR win.
“Nothing really. I think, Finn, all he said was, ‘See you next over.’ So, yeah, that’s basically what I tried to do. I was just at the other end playing second fiddle. I think I did the match when we had 29 to get. So yeah, I knew I’d be the most hated man in Kolkata if I did anything else apart from that (giving the single to Allen),” Green said on Jiohotstar.
“I don’t think the belief was ever gone” – Cameron Green
“No, not us. I was, I did the math. But no, Finn’s very good at maths as well, so I’ll give him credit for that. So, probably, he was probably doing the same. Winning, that’s been the most satisfying,” he further added.
However, KKR’s revival has reignited the hope within the KKR camp after staying near the bottom of the points table for much of the season as well.
“I don’t think the belief was ever gone,” Cameron Green concluded. “We’ve had a really good culture throughout the tournament, even when results weren’t going our way.”
