Match 16 of IPL 2024 will see the Delhi Capitals (DC) square off in against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the ACA-VDCA International Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
DC are currently playing their home games in Vizag, their secondary home. And, it brought them instant success, as their previous game, against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), resulted in their first win of IPL 2024.
KKR, on the other hand, have been simply impressive to watch this season. They have won both their opening encounters and would be gunning to aim for the top spot with a hattrick of wins.

DC vs KKR: Live Updates
11:20 PM: DC 166-10 (17.2). Shreyas Iyer takes the final catch, and KKR have won their first three matches of the season, for the first time in IPL history.
11:14 PM: DC 161-9 (16.1). The bouncer does for Rasikh Dar. Arora has another wicket as this pops up to Phil Salt behind the stumps. The last man in is Ishant Sharma.
11:07 PM: DC 159-8 (15.1). A wicket for Sunil Narine, as Sumit Kumar holes out to Manish Pandey in the deep. A straightforward catch. Anrich Nortje comes to the crease.
11:05 PM: DC 159-7 (14.5). Stubbs pulls out the slog sweep off Varun this time, but doesn't quite get it off the middle of the bat. Starc takes a good catch in the deep. Rasikh Dar comes in.
10:54 PM: DC 126-6 (12.3). Gone first ball! Axar tries to hit this out of the ground, but it goes high, high in the air. Manish Pandey eventually settles under it and takes a good catch. Sumit Kumar is the new batter.
10:52 PM: DC 126-5 (12.2). That's the end of Pant's enterprising knock. Comes down the wicket but skies this one, and it's a good catch in the deep by Shreyas Iyer. 55 to his name as Axar Patel comes in.
10:40 PM: DC 87-4 (10). DC haven't lost any more wickets since that early burst, but with almost 190 more required to win this game is surely going just one way. They will just be playing for net run rate at this point.
10:12 PM: DC 33-4 (4.3). Starc strikes! Slightly slower outside off this time, and David Warner can only drag it onto his stumps. Tristan Stubbs comes in.
10:09 PM: DC 27-3 (4). Another one! The short ball from Vaibhav Arora rushed Porel. He's late on his shot, and it just pops up for an easy catch at short fine leg. In comes Rishabh Pant.
10:03 PM: DC 26-2 (2.5). Gone! Marsh absolutely nails this one, but it's aerial. Ramandeep Singh does well to stick his hands out and grab onto it at point, and it's a duck for the Australian. Mitchell Starc has his first wicket of the season. Abishek Porel is the new batter.
9:57 PM: DC 21-1 (1.5). Excellent catch! Shaw tries to go over mid-on but doesn't time it. It's dying on CV Varun but he dives forward to take a superb catch. 10 for Shaw, and time for Mitchell Marsh to come in.
9:45 PM: DC 0-0 (0). Here come Prithvi Shaw and David Warner. Can they give DC just a glimmer of hope with a fast start here?
9:30 PM: KKR 272-7 (20). In the end, KKR finish on a massive 272/7, after a tight last over from Ishant Sharma. It's the second-highest total in IPL history, after SRH's 277 exactly a week ago. Surely DC won't chase this, but who knows?
9:26 PM: KKR 264-7 (19.3). Short, wide, slow, Ramandeep tries to muscle it over the off-side but it just lobs up to cover.
9:23 PM: KKR 264-6 (19.1). Incredible! A searing yorker from Ishant Sharma sweeps Russell off his feet and knocks back middle stump. Ramandeep Singh coming in now.
9:21 PM: KKR 264-5 (19). Low full toss from Anrich Nortje. Rinku Singh just can't quite get under it, lobs it to mid-on. In comes Venkatesh Iyer.
9:08 PM: KKR 232-4 (17.2). Khaleel bangs this one into the pitch and Shreyas Iyer goes after it. It's straight up in the air, though, and Tristan Stubbs holds onto the catch. Rinku Singh will come to the crease now.
8:57 PM: KKR 205-3 (16). KKR are well on course to cross the 250-run mark. It has been an explosive batting display by the visitors, led by Sunil Narine and the impressive Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Andre Russell and Shreyas Iyer are currently at the crease, and the duo will be aiming to maximise in the last four overs. Can DC find a way to win back some momentum?
8:22 PM: KKR 135-1 (10). This has been an exhibition in batting from Sunil Narine, who is nearing his maiden IPL hundred. He has been ably supported by the effervescent teenage sensation Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who is playing with a strike rate exceeding 200. KKR have already scored 135 at the halfway stage and look set to post a total near the 250-run region. DC bowlers look hapless on this belter of a surface.
8:02 PM: END OF POWERPLAY, KKR 88-1 (6). WHAT A FIFTY THIS FROM SUNIL NARINE!!! And it has come in just 21 balls! When you consider the fact that he didn't score any run off his first five balls, that's just insane. What an innings. The decision to persist with him as an opener is paying dividends and DC are in danger of being batted out of the game by KKR.
7:30 PM: Alright, we are about to get underway! Phil Salt will face the first ball, with Khaleel Ahmed opening the bowling.
7:00 PM: Shreyas Iyer has won the toss after calling "Heads". KKR will bat first tonight.
