Kolkata Knight Riders who currently are the table toppers of IPL 2022, are on a roll after winning two back-to-back games against PBKS and MI by a very big margin in terms of balls to be spared while Delhi Capitals will be coming to this clash after facing back-to-back losses against newly formed teams in Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants.

For Delhi it will be an uphill task to defeat such a spirited side like KKR and also toss might play a crucial factor to decide the result of this game as chasing teams have got an undue advantage in this tournament.

On the other hand, KKR spin duo of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy have been instrumental for their side to restrict the opposition score with the help of their tight bowling in middle overs while Umesh Yadav has been brilliant in this season powerplay overs for them.

KKR line-up also stars attacking batters like Andre Russell who can be effective against this Delhi bowling attack. Delhi's hope has been majorly reliant on the form of Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh Pant while David Warner is expected to perform well in this match. Shardul Thakur has been off colour in this IPL season and he would be looking to get back his name in the wickets column.
