As we head towards the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, final group game, where the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be hosting the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. This is going to be the reverse fixture as KKR vs DC was a low-scoring game in the previous encounter.
DC were outplayed the last time these two met at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi, where Finn Allen scored a brilliant hundred while chasing a low total of 143 runs.
IPL 2026: KKR vs DC Preview:
Kolkata Knight Riders have been in brilliant form as they have won 6 out of their last 7 games in the tournament. Ajinkya Rahane and his boys will look to win this match irrespective of the result in the day game between MI and RR. They will be without their leading run getter, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who has been ruled out due to a finger injury.
Delhi Capitals are already knocked out of the tournament after PBKS winning their final game against LSG. However, they will also look to finish high in a tournament that has been full of ups and downs for Axar Patel and his side. Despite starting the competition on high, they faltered in the middle phase and were eventually eliminated.
The KKR vs DC clash will be an exciting one with the shorter square boundaries of Eden Gardens. Fans will come in large numbers to support the Knights in their final game of the season. The two teams have met 36 times, and KKR has won 20 matches, DC has won 15, and one match ended in a no result.
The pitch for the KKR vs DC will be played on Pitch No. 5, a track which will be kind of two-paced, and scoring runs will be difficult, as we saw in the last game against MI, where the batters struggled to score runs, and it will assist the spinners, with both teams having quality spin units and teams winning the toss will look to field first due to dew.
