DC will be eyeing a crucial win and bolstering their playoff chances after suffering a loss against RCB in their last game. The Delhi-based outfit is currently at the fourth spot in the points table with six wins from nine games. They had the opportunity to move to the top of the table in the last game against RCB, but ended up suffering a 6-wicket loss.

DC could not impress with the bat in the last game as they kept wickets at regular intervals and eventually finished their innings on a modest 162/8. With the ball, they had reduced RCB to 26/3 before half-centuries from Virat Kohli and Krunal Pandya took the Bengaluru-based outfit home.

On the other hand, KKR are languishing at the seventh spot in the points table with seven points from nine games.

Their last game against Punjab Kings was washed out, and they will be desperate to win the upcoming game in order to remain in contention for a playoffs spot.

Expert Match Prediction – Who Will Win Today’s IPL Match?

• If DC bats first, they will be eager to put up a good batting display. If DC scores big, they have a strong bowling lineup, and they can defend the total. A good performance from them could see them post a 180-plus total.
• If KKR bats first, the onus will be on their fragile middle-order to power the team to a good total. KKR's batters have struggled with consistency this season and will have to deliver with the bat to take the team to a good score. With the ball, KKR will be relying on their spinners to do the task.

DC will start the upcoming game as favourites and are expected to beat KKR.
