The upcoming clash between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the Delhi Capitals (DC) promises an exciting showdown at Kolkata’s home ground. Despite KKR’s recent setbacks, in which they’ve lost three of their five matches, they hold the second position on the points table, and they also boast the best net run rate, positioning them well for the playoffs. On the other hand, DC, led by Rishabh Pant, are riding high on a series of victories, aiming to capitalize on their momentum and climb up the IPL 2024 points table from their current sixth position.
For KKR, Sunil Narine has been the standout performer with 357 runs in eight matches, including a century. He also has taken 10 wickets at a miserly economy of 6.96. Meanwhile, DC’s inclusion of Aussie Jake Fraser-McGurk, replacing Lungi Ngidi, has injected new energy into their lineup. Fraser-McGurk’s explosive batting style and impressive strike rate of 237.50 in five matches make him a formidable X-factor for DC.
In their IPL history, KKR holds a slight edge over DC, winning 17 out of their 33 encounters. However, in their recent matchups, DC has prevailed three times out of the last five, while KKR has secured victory twice.
Both KKR and DC have some hard-hitting batsmen in their ranks who could light up the stage at the high-scoring Eden Gardens. Ahead of the next match of IPL 2024, here is all you need to know.
