Delhi Capitals takes on Kolkata Knight Riders in the reverse fixture of IPL 2024 in Kolkata on Monday. DC are heading into this game after beating Mumbai Indians in their last game. They won against GT in the game before MI.
Delhi Capitals managed to defend their total of 257 against Mumbai Indians, something that KKR could not do against Punjab Kings. They now have won back-to-back games against GT and MI.
DC lost against KKR in the first game in Vizag. However, this time around, they are better prepared. They have a better bowling attack seemingly at this point as opposed to KKR and the team can look to expose the team's bowling woes.
Heading into this game, they have injury concerns for David Warner and Ishant Sharma. Both of the players did not play the last two games against GT and MI. DC have more skillful bowlers at this point than KKR who are heavily reliant on the spin of Sunil Narine. It is the bowling attack and the skill that might be the difference in the end result.
