DC vs KKR match prediction
It is well-known that DC has struggled so far in the IPL 2023 season, failing to win one match so far.
However, what is more disappointing for Capitals fans is the way they've lost.
Only against the Mumbai Indians was DC well within the contest but failing to close it out, resulting in a -1.488 Net Run Rate (NRR).
Their opponents, KKR, have had a mixed bag of outcomes, winning only twice in their five outings.
The Knight Riders have taken down Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) in impressive fashion, but failed in the other matches.
Although their history has generated plenty of close contests, this match will be one-sided, with KKR taking the important points.
