Delhi Capitals: Dream

Delhi Capitals have been in superb form this season, roaring to victories in their first two games. After securing a super-over win against Kings XI Punjab, they went on to knock Chennai Super Kings over their perch via a convincing victory.

Unfortunately, their winning streak was brought to a halt on the last matchday, as they lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Though they were set to hit 163, they could only manage 147/7. Despite that loss, you can have nothing but praise for DC’s bowling attack.

Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje have been in inspiring form, picking up wickets in early overs, also at death. Ishant Sharma has added a new dimension to their bowling strategy. Taking into account that KKR have a lot of left-handed players, Capitals may favor Marcus Stonis ahead of Axar Patel.

Kolkata Knight Riders

Much like their opposition, KKR have lost just one game in three outings. After falling to a heavy defeat at the hands of Mumbai Indians, they made a return to winning ways. Shubman Gill has been the top of the pops for KKR, hitting 70* in a seven-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The player also put in a strong performance versus Rajasthan Royals last time out, top-scoring with 47 in a 37-run win. Gill will definitely be crucial in this tie. Coach Brendon McCullum will also be counting on Andre Russell whose bowling abilities are admirable, sporting numbers 1-17 and 1-16 so far.

Also, in his last game, on the way to 24 from 14 balls, he let loose with the bat. Pat Cummins was on a roll against RR, taking 1-13 from three overs, and dismissing Steve Smith to begin the game brightly. More free cricket match prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
