DC vs KKR: Predictions
DC will look to bounce back after their defeat to RCB and will also be boosted by Faf du Plessis alongside in-form Abhishek Porel at the top of the order.
KKR, with their struggling openers, will look for solid contributions from their middle-order but will continue to depend heavily on their bowling, led by Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine.
However, the DC bowlers have looked good in the season and are expected to have another good game at home against KKR's batting, as they hope to secure their playoff spot.
