DC vs KKR Dream 11 Predictions: Key Players

For DC

Prithvi Shaw: After lots of ups and downs, Prithvi started this season with a banger against CSK. He scored 43 in 27 balls. His power-hitting will be a key factor in this clash. He tried to get back his old form.

David Warner: This Aussie already built his authority in IPL. In the last match against CSK, he was made a half-century. DC will look at him for the big scores. A strong pairing with Warner will give Delhi a great start.

Rishabh Pant: After back from injury, Rishabh was looking for his old form. Last match against CSK, we got to see some old glimpses of him. He scored 51 in 32 balls. So, his return to form is a relief for DC.

Mitchell Marsh: Marsh is a terrific all-rounder. He can score runs in the top order and take crucial wickets in the middle overs. So, we have to look at the pants for how he uses Marsh.

Khaleel Ahmed: Left-arm fast bowler already took 5 wickets in 3 matches. In Vizag’s pitch, his pace and swings will make trouble for the KKR batters.

Mukesh Kumar: Mukesh Kumar took 3 wickets and displayed economic bowling in the ACA-VDCA stadium’s pitch against CSK in the last match. His death over bowling expertise will be challenging for the batters. 

For KKR:

Phil Salt: The English wicket-keeper batsman, who played for DC in the previous season, will be looking to impress against his ex-side.KKR will look at him for the solid power play total.  

Sunil Narine: Back in the opening, Narine showed his previous blistering form. Even today, his batting could be a tough test against DC’s bowlers.

Today, KKR management wants to develop a beautiful partnership with the pair of Narine and Salt. Last match, he got the Player of the Match award and took a wicket. His mystery spin bowling can come in handy against the Delhi batters.

Venkatesh Iyer: He is back in form. His explosive batting will help the team to score runs quickly. He scored a half century against RCB in the last match.

Shreyas Iyer: Iyer will take the lead against his previous side and can use his knowledge to lead the team to victory. He came back from injury and looked for his previous form. He will target this match as a platform to be back in the form.

Rinku Singh: His aggressive batting can save the team from dangerous situations. With fielding and lower middle order can be a game changer.

Andre Russell: This all-rounder can change the game. His potent batting and aggressive bowling can change the course of a match. 

Harshit Rana: The young bowler will already be a gem for the team and can contribute effectively both in batting and bowling. His pace and length bowling will be a challange for the DC batting, and death over bowling can be a major factor.

DC vs KKR Pitch Report

The surface for the DC vs CSK game in Vizag has a reasonable amount of grass. We saw swing and seam movement practically throughout the game and it turned significantly more under the lights. We expect a similar situation will happen in the DC-KKR game. On the Visakhapatnam pitch, the batters scored runs with ease.

This pitch is ideal for batters to take huge smashes. However, the condition worsens for the bowlers, especially for spinners. The bowlers will face a significant task on the Visakhapatnam pitch.

But it remains to be seen how both teams’ bowlers would handle the hard job. This ground has hosted 14 T20 matches, with the team batting first winning seven of them. As a result, the team batting in the second inning won seven times.

DC vs KKR Weather Report

The temperature in Vizag will hover around 33 degrees during this exciting match on Wednesday. However, the actual feel will be closer to 36 degrees. It will be almost the same throughout the match.

No chance of rain while humidity will be very high at 81%. Air quality will be fine. During the match, the wind is blowing at a speed of 19 kmph.
