Match Preview
In the mid-week doubleheader, it is going to be Delhi Capitals up against Kolkata Knight Riders at Delhi.
So far, Delhi hasn’t been able to notch up a win in this season of the IPL and is desperately on the hunt for one.
Therefore, they will look to break the jinx and come out on top against KKR in tomorrow’s game.
Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders aren’t having an easy time either. They have now lost back-to-back games against Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Thus, they will also be looking to get their mojo back in tomorrow’s game against the Capitals.
On the other hand, KKR has some stylish batters who have pulled them out of difficult situations and they will be on show at Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Therefore, we are going to get a good game between these two sides tomorrow in Delhi.
