KKR VS DC Match Preview: KKR’s Playoff Dream Can Be Broken

KKR vs DC Match Preview: KKR’s playoff dream can be broken by defeat against Delhi.

If the top-ranked Delhi Capitals are to retain their first place in the points table, their batsmen will have to do well in the match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday.

Shikhar Dhawan is in excellent form for Delhi and has scored a century in both the previous matches, but due to the failure of the rest of the batsmen, the team suffered a defeat against Kings XI Punjab.

The young Prithvi Shaw will have to show more responsibility in the top order. Shaw could not open the account in two of the last four innings.

Rishabh Pant, who returned after recovering from injury, was also seen struggling at the crease in the last match. Apart from Iyer and Pant, Marcus Stoinis is the backbone of Delhi’s middle order.

KKR vs DC Match: Fast bowler Enrique Notreja, along with Kagiso Rabada, played a key role in Delhi’s win.

KKR’s team will enter this match after an embarrassing performance against RCB. KKR currently has 10 points and is in fourth place but the Eoin Morgan-led team will be desperate to increase their points to stay in the playoffs.

Fast bowler Lockie Ferguson’s good performance has been positive for the team. There is not much improvement in KKR’s performance under Morgan’s captaincy.

KKR’s team was all out against Bangalore for the lowest score of 84 this season in the last match. Now the team would like to get ahead of that defeat and win and strengthen their position in the points table.

Andre Russell and Sunil Naren had not played in the previous match, if both of them return to the team then the team will get stronger, but this team will have to play to their full potential to win against Delhi.
