On Saturday, October 3, Delhi Capitals (DC) will face two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the second match of the double-header. Both are currently in the top four of the points table after playing for over a week.

In this match between KKR and Delhi Capitals on the relatively small ground of Sharjah, all eyes will be on explosive batsmen Andre Russell and Rishabh Pant. Russell had shown his aggressive attitude in the last match against Rajasthan Royals by hitting three sixes on the big ground in Dubai, but Pant has so far failed to show his natural game and is more cautious.

If KKR has batsmen like Shubman Gill, Andre Russell and Eoin Morgan, Delhi have Pant, Marcus Stoinis and Shreyas Iyer on their side. All of them are known for playing big shots.

KKR seems to be slowly returning to the rhythm while Delhi suffered defeat in the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad after two wins. In the last match, KKR’s young fast bowlers Kamlesh Nagerkoti and Shivam Mavi performed well but here will be their real test where the wicket is favourable for batting.
