Delhi Capitals will square off against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 28th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on Thursday. DC have failed to win even a solitary contest and their batting has been their Achilles Heel in all the five matches they have lost.
On the other hand, KKR has managed two wins in five matches. The Nitish Rana-led team had lost their last two games and they will be looking to be at their best against a bleak Delhi Capitals outfit.
In fact, DC has reached that territory where winning almost all of their matches is mandatory for them to keep afloat in the tournament.
