KKR vs DC Team Analysis

Kolkata Knight Riders

Against PBKS, they failed to defend 262 even after scoring 261 batting first. Every boler barring Sunil Narine when the distance. The pitch at the Eden Gardens has been a batting paradise so far.

KKR being the home team has not been able to make the most of the conditions at Eden Gardens, On the other hand, the conditions have helped the chasing team immensely. It will be interesting to see whether they change the pitch conditions for the last two games.

Delhi Capitals

DC are on the bottom half of the points table. Heading into this game, they won against Mumbai Indians in Delhi. DC conceded 276 in the reverse fixture against KKR. They are up against a team that has crossed 200 five times in this season and a margin of 250 twice.

There are also a few injury concerns in the DC camp. David Warner did not play the game against GT. The pacers are struggling with injury concerns. Kuldeep Yadav is DC's trump card against KKR. He did not play in the first game between the two sides.

KKR vs DC Key Factors

Scores of 200-plus have been posted and chased by visiting teams at this venue KKR were lucky to end up on the winning side against SRh and RCB. If the pitch plays anything similar to how it did in the KKR vs PBKS match, we should be in for another high-scoring thriller.

Form and Fitness

The batters from both teas are in good form Dc posted 224 against GT in their last game while KKR posted 261. However, it is the bowlers who have been going on the journey and how they come back in the next game will be an interesting observation.

KKR bowlers have been at their worst playing at home as they have not yet maximized the home conditions in terms of pitches.

Fitness wise both teas have a few concerns. Nitish Rana is still out with his finger injury. Mitchell Starc was rested the previous game with his finger injury on his bowling arm.

David Warner picked up a thumb injury and missed the game against GT and MI. Ishant Sharma also missed the GT and MI games with back issues.

Tactical Acumen

KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer hasn't been good at rotating his bowlers around as they conceded the runs they scored against RR and PBKS. How they use them in the match against DC will be key. Barring Sunil Narine every other KKR bowler has been expensive this season.

For DC, Kuldeep Yadav is expected to return against KKR. He has a good match-up against the KKR big-hitters and how Rishabh Pant uses him might dictate the result of the game.
