DC vs KKR Prediction

However, it is essential to keep in mind that much depends on weather conditions and lineup decisions of both teams; therefore, it is advisable to closely follow them before placing bets at Dafabet sportsbook.
DC captain Axar Patel won the toss and elected to bowl first, only for this decision to backfire as Sunil Narine and Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 33 runs within six overs in powerplay overs.
Following this initial setback, Faf du Plessis and Abishhek Porel stitched an unbroken 76-run partnership, taking their side to 60/3 by end of powerplay overs.
Both teams are fighting hard to stay in the playoff race, although Delhi have experienced disappointing recent form – having lost three out of their last four matches and likely to go out after yet another defeat against KKR.
On the other hand, KKR have been in great form and could continue their winning streak with another win on Wednesday against Delhi.
This will mark the 35th meeting between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and DC, with 15 wins to their credit from 15 encounters at Arun Jaitley Stadium, including 20 won by KKR on average.

The Delhi Capitals’ top order has been inconsistent this season, with Abishek Porel and Karun Nair struggling to make an impressionful performance at home against spinners – something they need to address in order to remain within the top four teams.
Mohit Sharma and Dushmantha Chameera must work hard to stop KKR batsmen from scoring freely. Don’t miss this high-octane clash!
