Meanwhile, KKR defeated the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a pretty one-sided affair, as Shreyas Iyer’s team chased down the target of 183 in just 16.5 overs and with 7 wickets to spare. With both teams high on confidence, it would be interesting to watch how the two would line-up against each other
DC vs KKR: Pitch Report
DC vs KKR is set to be played at the ACA-VDCA stadium in Visakhapatnam. The pitch here is generally not very high scoring unlike other Indian pitches with the average T20 score being 152 runs. The pitch also offers a good amount of turn for the spinners and players like Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy could be key in deciding the contest.
"It's nice and cool - it's not a big ground, the side boundaries are 60m each and the straight boundary is at 74m. It looks like a well prepared surface, it looks very hard and with not much grass. Because of its hardness, there will not be a lot in it for the spinners, variations will be the key for the pacers. Khaleel Ahmed spoke about getting more swing due to the wind and it's something to look forward to. Generally, this looks like an easy and true surface with the batters able to score across all the parts of the ground," Ian Bishop said in his pitch report on air.

DC vs KKR: Prediction
This game promises to be a close encounter with both teams playing well in their previous game and although Delhi Capitals won a big game against CSK, Kolkata Knight Riders seem to be in much better spirits and form from their opening two games and might prove to be a bit too much for Rishabh Pant’s team to handle
