Kolkata Knight Riders are set to host Delhi Capitals in match 47 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday. (Preview | Full Coverage)
The Shreyas Iyer-led KKR have won five out of eight matches this season and currently stand at the second position in the points table. Delhi Capitals also have 10 points but having played 10 games put them in the sixth spot on the table.
Sunil Narine and Phil Salt are in sublime form and will be eyeing to continue that in the next game against DC as well. However, KKR's bowling is a concern. They conceded 272 runs in their last match against Punjab Kings which was the highest successful run-chase in T20 cricket ever.
Mitchell Starc can return to the playing XI after missing the last game due to an injury to his finger. DC's players are in good touch, especially Jake Fraser-McGurk who smashed a quick 84-run knock against Mumbai Indians in Delhi on Saturday.
