In Kolkata's sweltering conditions, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be eager to bounce back from their recent defeat as they face the formidable Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL 2024's 47th match. Following their loss to the Punjab Kings (PBKS), KKR seeks redemption, while the Capitals, buoyed by their victory over the Mumbai Indians (MI), will be eyeing a playoff spot.

Having previously won over the Delhi Capitals this season, the Kolkata Knight Riders will be high on confidence, especially while playing on their home turf, where they boast a strong track record.

Stakes high for KKR-DC clash

However, the Capitals, riding high on two consecutive wins, present a tough challenge. Expect a closely contested match, aggressive batting from both sides is expected, given the nature of the Eden Gardens pitch.

The clash promises high stakes and intense competition as both teams vie for crucial points to strengthen their positions in the standings. As the business end of the tournament approaches, the battle for playoff berths intensifies, adding further significance to every match.

In the points table, KKR currently occupies the second position, with DC placed fifth. As the tournament progresses towards its climax, every point becomes crucial for securing playoff berths. 

Unchanged XI for DC vs KKR

With DC playing away from home, it'll be interesting to see what will be their ideal XI. Following their recent victory, the Capitals are likely to go with their winning combination. 

Moreover, with David Warner out due to injury, Shai Hope is set to retain his place. Notably, local talent Abhishek Porel will make his first appearance as an opener at his home ground, alongside the new batting sensation Jake Fraser-McGurk.

Delhi Capitals: Abishek Porel, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Shai Hope, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Tristan Stubbs, Kumar Kushagra, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Lizaad Williams, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar
