Prediction for DC vs KOL Dream11 Contest - Playing XI, Injury Updates, Pitch Report and Weather report for the clash between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 41 of the IPL 2022 season.
Delhi Capitals will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 41st match of IPL 2022. Delhi Capitals are at the 7th position with 3 wins in 4 games while Kolkata Knight Riders are at the 8th position with 3 wins in 8 games.
Delhi Capitals have been inconsistent in the tournament especially in the batting department. Their batters have failed to score runs consistently except the openers. David Warner and Prithvi Shaw are in terrific form. They are exploiting the field restrictions to the fullest and are giving DC an excellent start in every game. All the other batters need to start performing consistently if DC are to make it to the play-offs.
Their bowlers have been in good form as Kuldeep Yadav is doing really well and Axar Patel too has assisted him well in the last two games. Shardul Thakur, Khaleel Ahmed, and Mustafizur Rahman are their pacers and have done a decent job till now. The bowling unit too will look to do well in this game and the upcoming games as well.
Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, are struggling very badly as they have lost their last 4 games. They have been below average in the last few games especially in the batting department. They opened with Sam Billings and Sunil Narine which didn’t work but they are expected to back them at least for this game. Shreyas Iyer has been decent while Nitish Rana has played a couple of good knocks. Rinku Singh played really well in the last game and that will be a positive for them. Andre Russell hasn’t been at his best in the last two games but he is a match winner and is expected to do well.
They brought in Tim Southee in the last game and he bowled really well and picked 3 wickets. Umesh Yadav too bowled well while SHivam Mavi has been decent as well. Sunil Narine has been exceptional as he’s bowling very economically and is picking wickets as well. Varun Chakravarthy has failed miserably and that is a big concern for the KKR management. KKR will look to perform as a team in this game and finally get back on the winning track.

Shivam Mavi (8 Credits): Mavi has bowled well in the last two games. He bowls in the middle-overs and one over in the death overs. He picked one wicket in the last game and is looking good as well. He is the best budget option at 8 credits.
Sunil Narine (8.5 Credits): Sunil Narine is an excellent budget option for this match. He is bowling really and is opening the batting as well. He can win games single-handedly on his day. He picked 2 wickets in the first game DC.
Sam Billings: Sam Billings is the best differential pick for this match. He will open the innings and can fetch a lot of points for your fantasy team. He is a good player and can score big especially in the first six overs. Billings will give points from catches and stumpings as well.
