Delhi Capitals would be hopeful for a win against the Kolkata Knight Riders considering their current form in the Indian Premier League 2024.
Preview
At the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Delhi Capitals would be taking on the high-flying Kolkata Knight Riders. The two teams are having decent campaigns till now in the Indian Premier League 2024 and would be looking to gather as many wins as possible in order to have a strong chance of qualifying to the play-offs.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a heartbreaking defeat against the Punjab Kings. They lost their previous game despite making 261 in the first innings and might have to do some thinking as they head into the penultimate home game of the season. Their bowling was mediocre in the last game and would be looking to improve in that aspect sooner rather than later.
Delhi Capitals seem to be in great spirits as they head into this crucial encounter at the Eden Gardens on the back of consecutive wins. They had a stellar outing against the Mumbai Indians at home on Saturday afternoon and would be confident of yet another win in their upcoming game against the Kolkata Knight Riders.
