KKR Team News
While DC are coming off a crushing win over Rajasthan Royals in the previous outing, KKR will enter the game after facing an upset at the hands of Chennai Super Kings despite a tight target of 172 on the big ground in Abu Dhabi.
KKR missed Russell till the end, when he walked off the field with a hamstring problem, bowled three good overs. In his absence, Vishisht Krishna was given the responsibility of bowling the 19th over and even though he has impressed with his death bowling in the past, he had no answer to lash out at Ravindra Jadeja on Sunday.
Against one of the in-form teams of this edition, when they take the field against DC, KKR will have their task at an end. Eoin Morgan and his team know there will be little room for error as they enter a game that is more important than their approach to maintaining their play-off chances.
KKR will have to work on all fronts if they are to challenge the might of Delhi Capitals, which are led by dynamic Rishabh Pant and are full of in-form players at the moment. Morgan, Dinesh Karthik, Nitish Rana, Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill will have to unite to enable the team to compete in batting.
Rahul Tripathi will go into the game with some confidence, scoring a quick 45 against CSK to top the score. Then, the bowlers have to stick to the plans.
DC Team News
At the same time, DC is sitting quite handsomely. He put up a stellar performance to beat Rajasthan Royals in the last outing and looking at his form, DC are likely to continue in the same vein.
Eyeing on winning the title for the first time, DC have dominated most of their opponents this season with an aggressive brand of cricket, and are looking to not only make it to the play-offs, but also perform better than last year. Looks pretty confident even when they were defeated. Mumbai Indians in peak performance. DC are placed second with eight wins and 16 points out of 10, while two-time winners KKR are fourth with four wins and six losses.
Players like Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw and Shimron Hetmyer form a very formidable group with the bat.
In bowling, the moves of spin duo Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel are being complemented well by the pace and bounce of Enrique Nortje, Kagiso Rabada and Avesh Khan.
Probable Playing XI of Kolkata Knight Riders: Shubman Gill, Venkatesh Iyer, Rahul Tripathi, Eoin Morgan (c), Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Lockie Ferguson, Varun Chakravarthy, Prasidh Krishna
Delhi Capitals play prediction: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Enrique Nortje, Avesh Khan
