DC vs KKR Match Predictions: The Delhi Capitals team will want to capitalize on the weaknesses of the host team’s bowling in the IPL match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday. Delhi has won four of the last five matches. Under the leadership of Rishabh Pant, the team is slowly getting into rhythm. On the other hand, mentor Gautam Gambhir’s Kolkata team has lost three of the last five matches. The Eden Gardens ground is full of runs.
Will a big score be made again?
A total of 42 sixes were hit in the match between Punjab and KKR. KKR replaced Mitchell Starc with Dushmantha Chameera in the last match, but he too could not make an impact. Except spinner Sunil Narine, the rest of the bowlers disappointed the team. The host team’s bowlers will be tested against Delhi. It is good for KKR that Narine is also proving useful in batting and another batsman in the form of Phil Salt is in form. Andre Russell, captain Shreyas Iyer and Rinku Singh will also have to show their skills in batting.
