Delhi Capitals (Match Odds – 2.05):
Preview:
DC will play KKR in the upcoming match to open a points account after suffering five consecutive defeats this season. Playing in front of a home crowd could help the Delhi Capitals get back on track on April 20, 2023.
DC’s bowlers did an outstanding job against RCB in the previous match, but the batters fell short of the 175-run target. Mitchell Marsh and Kuldeep Yadav each took two wickets to limit RCB’s attacking batting unit, while Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav each took one wicket with spin bowling.
While chasing a 175-run target, DC lost four wickets early in the powerplay and scored only 30 runs in the first six overs. Despite Manish Pandey’s 50 runs from 38 balls, no other batter scored more than 25 runs, and the team lost by 23 runs. The form of Prithvi Shaw and Mitchell Marsh remains a major concern for DC in this year’s campaign.
So far this season, Captain David Warner has been DC’s lone warrior in the batting order. Because the team’s middle order has yet to live up to expectations, they have been unable to capitalize on their batting strength this season. They will now attempt to overcome those issues against KKR in order to win the first game of the season.
Full Squad:
David Warner (c), Prithvi Shaw, Ripal Patel, Rovman Powell, Sarfaraz Khan, Yash Dhull, Mitchell Marsh, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje, Chetan Sakariya, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Khaleel Ahmed, Lungi Ngidi, Mustafizur Rahman, Aman Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Praveen Dubey, Vicky Ostwal, Ishant Sharma, Phil Salt, Mukesh Kumar, Manish Pandey, Rilee Rossouw

Players to watch out for:
David Warner
The Australian opener has three half-centuries in the competition but has yet to hit a six in the 2023 IPL. At the top of the order, he is a consistent source of runs.
Manish Pandey
The middle-order batter led the Delhi Capitals to a 50-run victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday.
Anrich Nortje
The South African pace bowler has not taken a wicket in his last three appearances, but he did take 2-39 in his first game of the tournament earlier this month at this venue.
Possible Playing XI:
Prithvi Shaw, David Warner (c), Mitchell Marsh, Manish Pandey, Yash Dhull, Abishek Porel (wk), Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Aman Hakim Khan, Anrich Nortje, Kuldeep Yadav
Kolkata Knight Riders (Match Odds – 1.85):
Preview:
KKR lost two consecutive games against the Sunrisers and the Mumbai Indians, erasing the momentum they had gained with two brilliant wins over the Gujarat Titans and the Royal Challengers Bangalore. To get back on track, they will face the Washington Capitals, who have struggled to find a rhythm this season.
Venkatesh Iyer, KKR’s impact player against MI in the previous match, shone with a bat to score a brilliant century for this team after a 15-year wait since Brendon McCullum scored a ton in 2008. Despite the failure of other batters in the squad, KKR scored 185 runs on the board thanks to Iyer’s 104 runs from 51 balls.
While defending 186 runs against MI at Wankhede Stadium, KKR’s bowlers faltered in the powerplay, allowing 65 runs in the first five overs. MI’s batters quickly dominated KKR’s bowlers and chased the target with 14 balls remaining. Suyash Sharma was the only bowler who applied some pressure to the opposition, taking two wickets for 27 runs in four overs.
So far this season, the KKR team has not put in enough effort to win. They rely on a few players to perform, so they have lost the last two games despite scoring well. They must address these concerns while facing DC in the next game.
Full Squad:
Nitish Rana (c), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shardul Thakur, Lockie Ferguson, Umesh Yadav, Tim Southee, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy, Anukul Roy, Rinku Singh, N. Jagadeesan, Vaibhav Arora, Suyash Sharma, David Wiese, Kulwant Khejroliya, Litton Das, Mandeep Singh, Shakib Al Hasan
