IPL 2020: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) vs Delhi Capitals (DC) Preview, Probable XI, Head-to-Head and Fantasy 11

Eoin Morgan-led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 42 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. The two teams will lock horns at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi on October 24 (Saturday) from 3:30 PM (IST) onwards.

Last time when these two teams met, DC clinched a clinical victory in a high-scoring game at Sharjah. Skipper Shreyas Iyer won the ‘Man of the Match’ award for his splendid knock of 88* runs.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

With five wins and as many losses, KKR is currently placed at the fourth spot in the Points Table. This game will be crucial for them to consolidate their chances of reaching the playoffs.

KKR is coming to this game after suffering from a devastating loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their last match. Their batting lineup completely collapsed to register a paltry total of 84-8 on the board. But the positive news coming from their camp is that Sunil Narine might make a comeback in this clash.

Delhi Capitals (DC)

Table-toppers Delhi Capitals are a victory shy from making it to the playoffs of IPL 2020. Although DC lost their previous clash against Kings XI Punjab, they still have 14 points to their name in ten games.

Apart from Shikhar Dhawan, all Delhi Capitals batsmen have struggled in the past few games. The form of their opener Prithvi Shaw has been quite alarming for the Capitals. They may go for a gamble in this game to play Ajinkya Rahane in place of Shaw to affirm their batting order before the playoffs.
