DC vs KKR Match Preview

Here is the full team and match preview of both squads playing in today’s game.

Delhi Capitals Preview

Rishabh Pant’s DC regained its form after 2 consecutive defeats. After a great batting effort in their last game, they finally took a win against CSK. The DC bowlers held their stance against a strong batting lineup, and the team won by 20 runs. DC fans expect tons from David Warner and Prithvi Shaw, as the pair put up a 93 – run stand in their last game.

In the middle order, Rishab Pant is set to anchor the innings with Mitchell Marsh and Tristian Stubbs. In the lower middle order, Axar Patel and Abishek Porel are highly anticipated players for a good performance.

In Delhi Capitals squad’s last game, the bowling attack was served under pressure. Ishant Sharma and Khaleel Ahmed will be on the lookout to pick early wickets in today’s game. Ahmed showed an amazing performance in the previous match as well. Axar Patel and Anrich Nortje play an important role in the middle overs because KKR has power hitters on their side. The ones to apply brakes on the scoring rate are Mitchell Marsh, Mukesh Kumar, and Rasikh Dar Salam.

Kolkata Knight Riders Preview

The team of Shreyas Iyer is in good shape. It has made a resounding success right from the beginning of the IPL season this year. KKR has won both games and sits majestically at the top of the points table. In their last game, KKR’s batsmen gave a dominant show where they won by 7 wickets. Iyer would be on the lookout to keep building this momentum and stay on top this IPL season.

Philip Salt and Sunil Narine will deliver a great beginning to today’s match, just like they did with RCB. in the middle order, Venkatesh Iyer is doing good and is expecting to add more runs for Shreyas Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi. The squad has a daunting batting lineup because Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, and Ramandeep Singh are commanding strikers.

The squad’s bowling attack is still not convincing. It needs the early wickets from Mitchell Starc and Harshit Rana because DC’s batting lineup is intimidating. Sunil Narine needs to bowl good spells using his experience with Anukul Roy in the middle overs. The Kolkata Knight Riders’ squad needs a better show from Varun Chakravarthy and Russell. Varun has struggled to score much in their last games.
