Kolkata Knight Riders will square off against Delhi Capitals in the last league stage of the ongoing IPL 2026 at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Sunday. KKR will need to win this contest and hope that other results go their way.
KKR were not at their best in the first half of the season and if they had managed to win a couple of matches there, they could have been in a different situation at this stage.
Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, are all but out of the tournament and their inferior NRR is the problem.
