KKR vs DC, Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2020
Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Delhi Capitals in the 42nd match of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Sheikh zayed Cricket Stadium and is scheduled to begin at 2 PM local time
IPL 2020 has been a dream come true for Delhi Capitals. 7 wins, 3 losses, what more can they’ve expected at the start of the tournament. It’s not that someone has gifted them this position, they richly deserve this after the brand of cricket they’ve played of late. Yes, they lost their previous match to Punjab, but there are a lot of positives for them to take from that game. Shikhar Dhawan, with two back to back hundreds is roaring like a wild lion. Kagiso Rabada is at the prime of his form. Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel has done well to restrict the opposition. Overall, they must be pretty satisfied how things have been going in last few games. However, there is enough scope for them to improve as a team, especially in the batting department. Prithvi Shaw hasn’t got gong at all and other players like Rishabh Pant, Shimron Heymyer and Shreyas Iyer hasn’t been that consistent. Things cannot be taken for granted and DC needs to rectify their flaws as soon as possible.
Kolkata Knight Riders on the other hand were blown away by RCB in their previous game. And it’s not just one game, they’ve lost 3 off their last 5 games. The three losses were as comprehensive as it gets and the two win were barely wins, KKR could have easily lost those games as well. This is a sign that KKR is not playing good cricket. Their batting is in disarray, so does their bowling. For them to get over Delhi is a mammoth task.

KKR vs DC Toss Prediction
Toss will be crucial for the teams as the pitch at Abu Dhabi has been very difficult to bat in the second innings. Winning the toss and batting first is the most feasible option. However, with dew around, captains has a difficult choice to make.
Weather Report
The weather as usual will be dry and humid.
Pitch Condition
The pitches in all the three venues are getting slower with each game. Batting second on that pitch can turn out to be a suicidal decision. But again, if there is dew, bowling second will also not be easy. Overall, captains have a dicey call to make

Kolkata Knight Riders is really struggling with their batting and might make a few changes in their playing XI. If available, Morgan could bring back Andre Russell and Sunil Narine in place of Tom Banton and Pat Cummins. Nitish Rana hasn’t had the best of the season so we could also see him warming the bench in the next game.
KKR Key Players
- Shubhman Gill: Shubhman Gill has been the most consistent batsman for KKR in IPL 2020. He has scored the most runs for KKR and can be backed to put up a good show in the next match

- Lockie Ferguson: Lockie Ferguson helped KKR snatch a victory against SRH with some outstanding bowling display. He will lead the KKR pace attack and will behopeful of another match winning performance.

Delhi capitals too have several fixes to make. Ideally, they should let go Prithvi Shaw as he’s been horrible but will they do it is still doubtful. They’ll most probably play the same team
DC Key Players
- Shikhar Dhawan: Shikhar Dhawan, in the last three matches has been nothing short of extra ordinary. With two back to back centuries he’ll be brimming with confidence. Brace yourself for another breath-taking knock from the southpaw
- Shreyas Iyer: The Delhi skipper has been on and off this season but he holds an integral place in Delhi’s batting line up. He will be eager to play a captains knock against KKR
- Kagiso Rabada: Kagiso Rabada throughout the tournament has been among the wickets for Delhi. He is the purple cap holder and will look to justify that with another brilliant performance against KKR
