This high-voltage clash between KKR and DC is a must-watch for any IPL fan
KKR, currently placed second, have been one of the most consistent teams this season, with 5 wins from 8 matches ( Pts. 10 ). Their batting has been strong under Hope, but their bowling has been a matter of concern, especially after failing to defend a big score recently.
DC, who are in 6 place with 10 points, have shown improvement after a slow start. Their middle order comprising Shreyas Iyer and Tristan Stubbs has been a bright spot, while their bowling attack offers a good mix of experience and pace. Both teams are evenly matched and are hungry for a win to move up in the table and strengthen their playoff chances.
