Delhi captain Rishabh Pant scored 55 runs in 25 balls, his second consecutive half-century and Tristan Stubbs scored 54 runs but the rest of the batting was a flop.
The venue was Delhi's adopted home ground due to the upcoming general elections in India but Narine and Kolkata made it their own.
“Cricket is all about batting, so it's enjoyable to contribute with the bat, but I also enjoy my bowling,” said Narine, an all-rounder who is more famous for his bowling and took 1-29 with his spin. He said after being named man of the match.
“On such a good wicket, we bowled well and were on the money, so it was an overall team effort from us tonight.”
Opening the batting, Narine tore apart the Delhi attack and hit seven fours and seven sixes in his 39-ball innings for his highest T20 score in his 501st match.
