Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders (DC vs KKR) Today Match Prediction Preview:
Welcome to the DC vs KKR Today Prediction curated by Kheltalk cricket experts. Kolkata Knight Riders will face Delhi Capitals in the 41st match of the TATA IPL, 2022 on Thursday, 28 April 2022 at the Wankhede. Keep on reading for more information on the DC vs. KKR game.
Delhi Capitals will be really disappointed with this season’s performance so far given the strength in their squad. They have been inconsistent throughout the tournament and the last match was the best example of it. After tumbling Punjab for the lowest score, they conceded the highest score against Rajasthan. Delhi has looked strong in pieces and needs to tighten up its screws to mark its comeback in the tournament.
While Kolkata Knight Riders are also sailing in similar boats this season. After a terrific start to the tournament, their team slumped with 4 consecutive losses and currently sits at the 8th spot. In the last match, they nearly clinched victory through Russell’s brilliance but lost the game in the last moments. They need to figure out their batting line-up which has been poor throughout the season. Otherwise, It could be too late for Knight Riders.
Delhi and Kolkata are facing off for the 2nd time this season and in the first encounter, it was Delhi who came on top. Both teams have a leaky bowling lineup which could get exposed at the small ground of Wankhede. Although experienced Kolkata’s bowler gives them an edge in this match.

DC vs KKR Today Match Prediction, IPL 2022, Who Will Win the Match?
KKR to win
The match is at Wankhede which has started to deteriorate with each game passing on. In the last couple of matches, it has been very 2 paced, and Kolkata Knight Riders would enjoy their outing here. They have bowlers perfectly suited for this condition while Delhi batters need some pace from the wicket which isn’t available here. Delhi could struggle here and we think Kolkata Knight Riders will emerge as winners of this contest.
