KKR vs DC Preview
- DC is coming off two straight losses and does not appear to be a confident team.
- KKR has won three of its first four games and is riding a wave of enthusiasm.
- In their last two games, DC has failed to reach 160 runs, and their batsmen are suffering from the strike rate.
Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals will face off in Match 19 of the 2022 Indian Premier League on Sunday afternoon at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium. KKR finished second in the 2021 IPL and has three victories and one loss so far this season. The Delhi Capitals have one win and two losses this season. At 15:30 local time, the game begins.
KKR’s camp is buzzing right now. They were already doing well before Australian Test captain Pat Cummins arrived and put up an outstanding performance. KKR is likely to put in another strong showing.
Although the Delhi Capitals were upset to lose to the Lucknow Super Giants in their most recent meeting, there were plenty of positives to take away from the game. They will be difficult to beat if David Warner scores big in this match.
KKR vs DC Weather Report
During the afternoon and early evening portions of the game, the weather will be generally sunny. From the first to the last ball, the temperature should remain above 30 degrees.
KKR vs DC Match Toss Prediction
It is one of India’s top batting surfaces, and huge scores have been the norm here. This will be an afternoon game, therefore the best batting conditions will be at the start. As a result, the team that wins the toss in the game will try to bat first and put up a huge total.
KKR vs DC Match Pitch Report
The batting surface at Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium is excellent, and the outfield is lightning quick. This track has a real bounce, allowing batsmen to play on the rise. The surface does not allow for lateral movement, making it a difficult venue for quick bowlers. Spinners have done well because the dry surface allows them to turn the ball quickly.
Kolkata Knight Riders Team News & Probable Playing XIs
Rasikh Salam made his debut for Kolkata Knight Riders in their win over Mumbai Indians, replacing Shivam Mavi in the side. They also left out Tim Southee of New Zealand, replacing him with Pat Cummins of Australia. We expect KKR to remain unchanged for this game after their triumph against Mumbai.

Delhi Capitals Team News & Probable Playing XIs
Before their loss to the Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday, Rishabh Pant’s team made three changes. Tim Seifert, Mandeep Singh, and Khaleel Ahmed of New Zealand were replaced by David Warner, Anrich Nortje, and Sarfaraz Khan. On paper, this appears to be their strongest team, and we don’t expect any changes before the game.
