DC vs KKR Match Preview

DC will face KKR in the 16th match of the IPL 2024. The match will take place at Visakhapatnam’s Dr. Y.S Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium on April 3 at 7:30 PM IST. Nothing went right for DC in the previous two matches, which resulted in crushing defeats; however, numerous positives against CSK would have instilled confidence in the DC camp. DC’s biggest relief will be Rishabh Pant’s return to form. Meanwhile, KKR has dominated their first two games, defeating SRH and RCB. The Shreyas Iyer-led side has had a roller-coaster ride thus far, but they have played on batting-friendly decks.

Topmost Picks for DC vs KKR Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Delhi Capitals

• David Warner – Warner backed up his 49 run knock against RR with a fluent 52 against CSK. Warner was in destructive mood and tormented the CSK attack, hitting five fours and three sixes.
• Kuldeep Yadav – Assuming that Kuldeep Yadav is fit and available; he will play a big role for DC.  KKR have quite a few left hand batters in the playing XI and Kuldeep will be a big asset for DC against the dangerous southpaws.

Top Picks – Kolkata Knight Riders

• Phil Salt – Phil Salt has done well in the two games he has played so far. He scored 54 in the first game against SRH and backed it up with a 30 run knock against RCB.
• Andre Russell – Russell is also one of the key members of the KKR team. Given his all-round abilities, he is always in the game. He scored a fiery 64 in the first game.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for DC vs KKR Dream11 Team:

Rishabh Pant, Philip Salt, David Warner, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell(C), Sunil Narine, Mitchell Marsh(VC), Harshit Rana, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar

DC vs KKR Probable Winners:

KKR will start the match as favourites. On paper, the team appears to be very balanced, and it has been in excellent form, having won its previous two games. DC defeated CSK in their most recent game, but it’s unclear whether this was a one-time performance or the start of a juggernaut. At the moment, there is only one clear favourite in the match. Considering the team combination, Delhi Capitals are expected to win this match.
