We expect a cracker of a contest in the Indian Premier League 2024, where batting powerhouses Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders lock horns in the 16th game. The Delhi Capitals defeated the Chennai Super Kings in their last game, and the side will feel confident. KKR has momentum and they come here with a win against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Kolkata Knight Riders' batsmen have been in phenomenal form. The side has depth in the batting lineup and has used it well in the tournament. The Delhi Capitals have been inconsistent with the bat and have a few weaknesses in the bowling attack. It will be an interesting contest as the Capitals won’t let KKR have it easy.

Rishab Pant's struck form after two consecutive losses. It was a good batting effort from the team in their last game against the Chennai Super Kings, where they won by 20 runs. Their bowlers also did well against a strong batting lineup. Pant would like to see a similar effort from his players in the game, as KKR is riding high on confidence.
The side will expect a great start from David Warner and Prithvi Shaw after the pair put up a 93-run stand in the last game. Rishab Pant will look to anchor the innings in the middle order with Mitchell Marsh and Tristian Stubbs. The side will expect a good show in the lower middle order from Axar Patel and Abishek Porel.
The bowling attack delivered under pressure in the last game. Khaleel Ahmed was brilliant, and he will look to pick early wickets along with Ishant Sharma. Axar Patel and Anrich Nortje have an important job in the middle overs, as KKR has power hitters on the side. Mitchell Marsh, Mukesh Kumar, and Rasikh Dar Salam must apply brakes on the scoring rate.
Top Batsman – David Warner
Top Bowler – Kahleel Ahmed
Delhi Capitals smashed over 15 fours in the last three matches played in the 2024 IPL season. They are the second best team in this year's season in terms of scoring runs in fours. Given their boundary scoring record, we back Delhi Capitals to hit over 14.5 fours in today's match.
Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje, Mukesh Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed, Rasikh Dar Salam (Impact Player)

Shreyas Iyer's side looks in good shape and has made a commanding start in the season. They have won both games and sit at the top of the points table. It was a dominant show from their batsmen in the last game against the Kolkata Knight Riders, winning by 7 wickets. Iyer would look to build on this momentum and build confidence for the rest of the season.
Philip Salt and Sunil Narine played well against RCB, and the pair will look to deliver a good start in this game. Venkatesh Iyer is doing well and will look to add runs in the middle order for Shreyas Iyer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, and Ramandeep Singh are powerful strikers, making it a formidable batting lineup.
The bowling attack hasn't found its form, and the team will need early wickets from Mitchell Starc and Harshit Rana, as the Delhi Capitals have a strong batting lineup. Sunil Narine must use his experience and bowl good spells in the middle overs with Anukul Roy. Varun Chakaravarthy has struggled, and the side will need a better show from him and Russell.
Top Batsman – Shreyas Iyer
Top Bowler – Sunil Narine
Kolkata Knight Riders smashed 13 fours in the first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and their last match against RCB, KKR smashed 9 fours. On average KKR hit 11 fours per game this season. We predict KKR to hit under 14.5 fours in today's match.

It will clear skies over Visakhapatnam. The surface is flat, and batsmen can play their strokes freely on it. We expect a run feast in this game, where the bowlers will have little on this track. The side batting first will aim to have 190 runs on the board.
Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium, Visakhapatnam, has an excellent batting surface. Batsmen can play their strokes freely on this surface with true bounce and pace. Fast bowlers have struggled with this surface, but spinners can do well as the ball grips the surface and turns sharply.
The pitch at YS Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium in Vizag has been a high scoring venue in IPL with the average aggregate score in the 14 IPL matches being 357 runs. In the last match the total aggregate score was 362 runs. Expect a similar kind of surface favoring the batsman in today's match.
In the last game, the wicket slowed in the second half. The conditions were excellent for batting in the first innings, and the batsmen played their strokes freely. The side that wins the toss in this game would like to bat first.
The Delhi Capitals have struggled with consistency. The middle order and the bowling attack haven't been in the best form. They must bowl well, as their opponents have a strong batting lineup. Kolkata Knight Riders' batsmen are in good form and have more depth in the batting, making them favorites.
