Delhi Capitals (DC) will face the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 28th match of the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The game will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Delhi Capitals are having a torrid time in this edition of the IPL. They have played five games so far this season, losing them all. Their most recent loss came against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in Bengaluru.
Mitchell Marsh and Kuldeep Yadav picked up two wickets each to restrict the Royal Challengers to 174/6. Chasing it, Manish Pandey scored a fighting fifty but lacked support from the other end as they only managed to score 151 to fall short by 23 runs.
Kolkata Knight Riders, meanwhile, are having a rollercoaster ride in this edition. After losing their first game, they won their next two fixtures. They failed to carry forward the winning momentum as they lost their two games thereafter. KKR finished second to the Mumbai Indians in their last outing.
On the back of a scintillating century from Venkatesh Iyer (104 off 51 balls), the Knight Riders posted 185 on the board. Suyash Sharma picked up two wickets but the other bowlers failed to step up as they were unsuccessful in defending the total.
