Things are also not looking good in the camp of the Delhi Capitals. They have been performing inconsistently in the tournament. The Capitals are currently in the 7th position with 3 wins and 4 losses. Kolkata Knight Riders, after continuous losses, has slipped down to 8th position with 3 wins and 5 losses. The road ahead looks tough for both the teams and their position to qualify for the playoffs now depends on how many matches they win with a good net run rate.

The upcoming fixture of DC vs KKR will be a thrilling game as both the teams need a win. Both the franchises will be trying hard to overpower each other and gain some points for the point table.

DC vs KKR: 5 Reasons Why KKR can win  Today’s IPL Match Against DC in Match No. 41 of IPL 2022

1) Andre Russell

In recent times, Kolkata’s most loyal player, Andre Russell, has turned out to be one of the crucial contributors to the team. He has been playing brilliantly and doing his all-rounder duties with a very aggressive attitude.

In the last game against Gujarat Titans, Andre Russell scored 48 runs in 25 balls at a strike rate of 192. He was also effective with the ball as Russell picked up 4 wickets in just one over at an economy of 5. Russell was in his original form against the Titans.

2) Skipper Shreyas Iyer

The run machine of Kolkata Knight Riders, Shreya Iyer, is becoming a big pain for every opposition in the tournament. He is having a brilliant outing in the 15th season of IPL as the number 3 batsman. Iyer’s contribution to KKR as a batsman is impeccable.

Overall in IPL 2022, Shreyas Iyer has scored 248 runs in 8 matches at an average of 35.43 and a strike rate of 159.35. Iyer was one of those batsmen who performed exceptionally well in the last game when these two teams met on the field.

3) Tim Southee in DC vs KKR Fixture

The presence of New Zealand pacer, Tim Southee, has bought some positive news in the bowling section for Kolkata Knight Riders. His brilliant performance against Gujarat Titans almost turned the game in favour of Kolkata.

Against the Titans, Southee was able to scalp 3 wickets in 4 overs at an economy of 6. His credentials are strong and he will defiantly become a big headache for Delhi batsmen. Southee’s disciplined line and length will also help Kolkata to keep a check on the run rate of the opposition.

4) Pat Cummins

Pat Cummins made a name for himself in IPL 2022 when he scored the fastest half-century in the ongoing season. His presence in the Kolkata team is always dangerous for any kind of opposition. If not with the bat, Cummins can be helpful with the bowl at any time.

As of now, Pat Cummins is not able to pick wickets consistently. He is also giving away a lot of runs because of loose balls. However, the Australian skipper is an experienced cricket and can bounce back in the tournament at any time.

5) Sunil Narine in DC vs KKR fixture

Sunil Narine is one of the most loyal players of Kolkata Knight Riders. He has been part of Kolkata for a long time and in every season the mystery spinner has done wonders with the ball. His variations in bowling are very useful for Kolkata in every game.

In the last fixture between DC and KKR, Sunil Narine picked up 2 wickets in 4 overs at an economy of 5.25. Sunil has maintained his economy rate in every game and that has turned out to be beneficial for Kolkata Knight Riders.

Kolkata Knight Riders are going through a tough time in the tournament. However, the runner-up from last season of IPL is a strong team and will bounce back in the upcoming fixture against Delhi Capitals. The fixture is expected to be a thrilling one as both the teams need a win on the chart.
