Delhi Capitals v Kolkata Knight Riders team news
Delhi recalled Prithvi Shaw to give them more firepower and take the pressure off David Warner. It worked as their batting fired to scorch CSK. There's still no replacement for Lungi Ngidi and the tail is long but they're on the board.
Probable XI: Warner Shaw/Rasikh (subs), Pant, M Marsh, Stubbs, Axar, Porel, Nortje, Mukesh, Ishant, Khaleel
Nitish Rana remains a doubt for KKR after he missed the success over Bangalore with illness. There was no spot for spinner Suyash, either.
Possible XI: Salt, Narine, Venkatesh/Varun (subs), Shreyas, Rinku, Russell, Ramandeep, Starc, Roy, Rana, Raghuvanshi
Delhi Capitals v Kolkata Knight Riders pitch report
Delhi's 191 against a reliably mean Chenai attck suggests Vizag is a road. It's not hugely surprising given that India and Australia both notched 200 in 2023 at the venue. With KKR's bowling and batting styles both perfect for high-scoring affairs, Sportsbook's 9/52.80 that both teams score 190 may prove popular.
Delhi Capitals v Kolkata Knight Riders match odds
Delhi's batting, despite tinkering, is likely to cost them a shot at glory in the end. But they were excellent with the ball against Chennai and it could be that a good batting wicket is perfect for them.
It reduces the gulf with the willow and gives their bowling unit added value. So DC are not the worst bet here at 2.166/5. Kolkata's two wins have come against Sunrisers and Bangalore who may not be in the shake-up.
