Kolkata Knight Riders will square off against Delhi Capitals in the 47th match of the Indian Premier League at the Eden Gardens Kolkata on Monday. KKR has managed five wins in eight games and it will be crucial for them to keep up the good show after losing their previous game against PBKS.
KKR bowlers should have defended 261 in the last game but they could not get the job done. Barring Sunil Narine, all the KKR bowlers were taken to the cleaners.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals won their previous game against MI by 10 runs. Jake Fraser-McGurk scored a blistering knock of 84 runs and he is going to hold the key for DC.
