IPL 2022: Picks for the match between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders

 

Delhi Capitals will lock horns against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 41st match of the ongoing Indian Premier League at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Thursday. Delhi has won three matches from seven matches they have played whereas KKR has managed the same number of wins from eight games.

We take a look at Picks for the match between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders. We will look at head-to-head records, stats, and players to look out for in the upcoming match.

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.

Head to Head: Matches: 31, Won by KKR: 16, Won by DC: 14, Abandoned: 1.

KKR holds a slight advantage against DC in the head-to-head battle. However, DC had won convincingly against KKR by 44 runs earlier in the season.

Players to look out for: Shreyas Iyer, Varun Chakravarthy, Umesh Yadav, Sunil Narine, and Andre Russell will be the crucial players for KKR.

David Warner, Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw, Mustafizur Rahman, Axar Patel, and Rovman Powell will hold the key for DC.

Kolkata Knight Riders Probable Playing XI: Aaron Finch, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Sheldon Jackson (wk), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shivam Mavi, Tim Southee, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy.

Delhi Capitals Probable Playing XI: Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (c and wk), Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman, Khaleel Ahmed.
