Pitch Report
Analysis
The Kolkata Knight Riders have been among the best teams in IPL 2024 but over the recent few games the two-time champions have struggled to get results. The KKR batting has been performing at an all-time level with Sunil Narine top-scoring for the side at a blistering pace. But the Kolkata bowling has taken a massive hit with no player, barring Narine, stepping up to either restrict runs or pick up wickets.
The Delhi Capitals have made massive improvements after a dismal start which saw the team battle major injuries and out-of-form key players. The DC batting has seemed unstoppable with Jake Fraser-McGurk, Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs being in scintillating form. The bowling still has flaws but Kuldeep Yadav and Mukesh Kumar’s return to form has helped the Capitals stay afloat.
