Current form for KKR: L L L L W
KKR have managed a solitary win in their last five matches as they have veered off the track. The two-time champions are failing as a batting unit as their top as well as middle-order has not been consistent enough. They have a deep batting unit but the batters haven’t been able to deliver the goods.
Current form for DC: L W L W L
Delhi Capitals are also in the same boat as KKR as they have been struggling to get going. The top-order has done a good job for their team but the likes of Rishabh Pant, Lalit Yadav and Rovman Powell need to be more consistent for them. Furthermore, DC needs to pull up their socks in the bowling department as they had conceded 222 runs against RR in the previous game.
