DC vs KKR Pitch Report: Delhi Capitals team is waiting for their first win this season, on the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders would like to climb up the table.
In the 28th match of Indian Premier League 2023, Delhi Capitals will face Kolkata Knight Riders. The Delhi team has not been able to win even one out of 5 so far, while the Kolkata Knight Riders are in the 7th position with two wins. The biggest concern for Delhi is the failure of their opening pair, Prithvi Shaw has been a complete flop so far, while other players have failed to perform unitedly. The team has stalwarts like David Warner, Manish Pandey, Riley Russo, and Rovman Powell. If Delhi has to win today, Kolkata will have to be defeated in every department.
The match between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The pitch here has been batting-friendly for the last few years. A score of around 180 can easily be made here in the first innings, which is not difficult to defend. If fewer runs are scored than that, then the team batting in the second innings will have more chances of winning. In the 13 T20 Internationals played here so far, the team batting first has been successful in winning the match 4 times, while the teams have won while chasing the target 9 times. The team winning such a toss would like to bowl first here.
