KKR vs DC, the 19th match of Tata IPL 2022, is scheduled to be played at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai from 3:30 PM IST on 10th April 2022.
Team Updates:
Kolkata Knight Riders had a morale-boosting victory against Mumbai Indians. Pat Cummins smashed the joint fastest-ever fifty in IPL history by destroying Bumrah and co. to make Knight Riders win the match with 4 overs to spare. The lower-order in batting for KKR is firing at the crunch moments to help them secure crucial moments in the game. Andre Rusell also played a significant knock against Punjab Kings, and overall their batting unit looks promising.
However, KKR would want their captain, Shreyas Iyer and middle-order left-hander Nitish Rana to attain the form and keep them on track for Tata IPL 2022 trophy. Till now, KKR sits comfortably at the top of the table with 3 wins in 4 games and a healthy net run rate. The bowling unit for Knight Riders is also strengthened with Pat Cummins arriving in the squad. KKR will look to secure their fourth victory in KKR vs DC encounter.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have had two consecutive losses and searched for a way out of the predicament. Their middle-order batting looks ordinary in this year’s edition. Rovman Powell, the hard-hitting West Indian, has not yet found his mojo, while Rishabh Pant is struggling to score at a quick rate. Prithvi Shaw at the top has come good in their previous outing, and Sarfaraz Khan has proved himself as reliable in middle-overs against Lucknow Super Giants.
Delhi will need David Warner and Anrich Nortje to set the tone for them in bowling and batting. Nortje had a horrible outing against LSG, and Warner, too, disappointed in his first match of the 15th edition of IPL. Delhi Capitals sits at 7th position in the points table and will want to make improvement in their standing by winning in KKR vs DC clash.
