KKR vs DC: Match Preview:
The upcoming game against DC will be a test of character for KKR after the crushing defeat they suffered against Punjab Kings in their last game. The two-time IPL champions failed to defend a mammoth total of 261 runs against PBKS as the latter chased down the record total in just 18.4 overs and by losing only two wickets to create history.
The game was yet another reminder to KKR’s struggle with the ball this year. They failed to 223 runs against Rajasthan Royals and managed to win the game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru by just one run after scoring 222 runs. KKR have been scoring big totals consistently but the bowlers have failed to compliment the batters on most of the occasion.
With the IPL entering its business phase, KKR will be looking to get back to winning ways and bolster their chances of making it to the playoffs. However, it won’t be an easy task against a DC side who will be high on confidence at the moment.
DC have revived their campaign with four wins in their last five games. In their last game, they beat Mumbai Indians by 10 runs after posting a huge total of 257. With the momentum on their side, DC will be eyeing another win. A win will also take DC above KKR and into the top four of the points table.
IPL 2024 points table:
With five wins and three defeats, KKR are currently at the second spot in the points table. On the other hand, DC are at the fifth spot with five wins and as many defeats so far.
