THE LOWDOWN

DELHI CAPITALS

  • Delhi Capitals are still searching for that illusive first 2023 IPL victory and are unsurprisingly rock-bottom of the table without a single point to their name following five defeats without reply.
  • In head coach Ricky Ponting and director of cricket Sourav Ganguly, the Capitals boast a vast level of experience within their dressing room, but those two face a huge challenge to build up the morale of their squad and the home crowd here will also have a big part to play here.

KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS

  • Kolkata Knight Riders are also coming off the back of a recent slump, losing their last two games and the pressure is on them to bounce back against the lowest-placed side in the competition.
  • The KKR bowling attack has struggled to stem the flow of opposition runs recently and star overseas all-rounder Andre Russell has come under fire for a supposed loss of form.

THE PREDICTION

If Delhi Capitals are to finally get their first win of the 2023 IPL, this game realistically serves as their best chance. Kolkata Knight Riders are out of form and without Rinku Singh’s miraculous six-show against Gujarat, would have been coming into this one on the back of three consecutive defeats. Delhi boasts home advantage and a batting line-up that have the firepower on paper to put KKR under the pump. Therefore, consider backing the Capitals to finally open their account in terms of points by overcoming KKR.
