Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on the Delhi Capitals (DC) in a crucial IPL 2024 encounter at the Eden Gardens, which will be the final game of their five-match long home stretch on Monday, April 29. Eden Gardens has brought mixed results for the Knight Riders, especially while defending targets on a small ground with a fast outfield and a flat surface. Knight Riders have won a couple of games by 4 runs and 1 run margins respectively while have lost to Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings. Their Monday opponents, Delhi, on the other hand, are on a hot streak having won four out of their last five games.
With the addition of Jake Fraser-McGurk and Rasikh Salam in batting and bowling attacks respectively, the Capitals have gotten the much-needed X-factor in both departments and with the likes of Tristan Stubbs, Kuldeep Yadav, skipper Rishabh Pant and Mukesh Kumar performing, the Delhi team might be peaking just at the right time.
Knight Riders, on the other hand, have some issues of their own to sort, as far as bowling is concerned, given apart from Sunil Narine, who is basically doing everything for them, and need a couple of their pacers to put their hand up and be counted. A win here could be crucial from the race to the playoffs perspective.
