Delhi Capitals (DC)
It will be another home game for the Capitals at Vizag, where will be playing their last game this season before heading to their actual den in Delhi. DC, led by Rishabh Pant, is coming off a massive win over the Chennai Super Kings at the same venue. Despite enduring back-to-back defeats in their first two matches, they made an astounding comeback in their last match.
David Warner and Risabhah Pant made significant contributions with the bat in the last game. Prithvi Shaw also impressed with a decent knock in his comeback game. The bowlers, especially Khaleel Ahmed impressed with the new ball and Mukesh Kumar rattled the middle order of CSK in the backend of the last encounter.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
KKR, captained by Shreyas Iyer, has had a remarkable start to their IPL 2024 campaign. They are undefeated so far, having won both of their first two matches. Sunil Narine returned to open the batting and thrashed RCB at Chinnaswamy in the last game. The remaining batsmen like Salt, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer, and Andre Russel are also in great touch with the bat.
Harshit Rana is proving to be a serious bowler for the KKR unit. It will be interesting to see how Rana and the strong spin unit go against DC on a good batting pitch.
