Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will square off Delhi Capitals (DC) at Eden Gardens. After a heavy defeat against Punjab Kings (PBKS), Shreyas & Co. will look for a comeback.
They have a solid, strong batting attack. But they can’t capitalise on the win against Punjab Kings. In the reverse fixture, KKR scored 272 and defeated DC by 106 runs. But after that, DC improved a lot.
After the KKR match in the reverse fixture, DC played six games and won four times. DC scored 257 against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in their last game and beat them by ten runs.
Both teams have terrific batting attacks with inconsistent bowling attacks. In Eden Gardens, every match touches 200 above score in an inning. So, the game will be entertaining because the fight will be KKR batting vs DC batting.
If KKR wins against DC, their position will be solidified in the second spot. DC can lift into the 2nd spot if they win against KKR on Monday.
Remember these points at the time of building the Dream11 Fantasy Team:
- Prithvi Shaw will go back to the squad.
- Rasikh Salam will play as an Impact Player.
- No update on Mitchell Starc’s injury.
