KOL vs DEL Match Preview

Kolkata Knight Riders are coming on the back of a shocking loss to Punjab Kings at home where they failed to defend 261. But they have a strong batting line-up which has been exciting to watch throughout the season. Both Phil Salt and Sunil Narine are in blistering form. Captain Shreyas Iyer has been scoring runs consistently while Venkatesh Iyer too played a good hand in the last game. KKR will look to be better in the bowling department as this has been their weak link so far. All eyes will be on Mitchell Starc's fitness. Sunil Narine has bowled well this season but he needs good support from varun Chakravarthy to make this a deadly bowling pair.

Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals are high on confidence after winning four of their last five games. They are peaking at the right time with all the aces coming together for them. With Warner injured, Jake Fraser-McGurk has been destructive at the top. Skipper Rishabh Pant, Abishek Porel, and Tristan Stubbs have all been in fine form with the bat and will be dangerous on a flat surface at Eden Gardens. Their bowling has blown hot and cold throughout the tournament. Rasikh Salam impressed in the last game with his variations and he could be useful on this surface. The spin duo of Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav will be crucial in the middle overs.

Top Captaincy picks

Players to avoid
