Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals – IPL Betting Tips

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Delhi Capitals in match 41 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in Sharjah on Tuesday. 

The game will be an important one for the home KKR who still have a lot to do to secure their place in the playoffs this season. As things stand, the Knight Riders have just eight points after 10 matches played. 

The management will be hoping that the players will produce a good performance and help the side in securing a positive result. 

On the other hand, the Capitals will be coming in this fixture relatively calm as they’ve already secured a spot in the next round after registering 16 points with 10 matches played.

Kolkata Knight Riders Form and Team News: 

Despite suffering a narrow two-wicket defeat against the Chennai Super Kings in their previous fixture, Kolkata Knight Riders are unlikely to make any significant changes in the playing XI for their match on Tuesday. 

The most concerning aspect for the management will be the form of captain Eoin Morgan, who has only managed to score 15 runs in his last three innings in the competition. 

The coaching staff will be hoping that the star left-hander will return to form at a time where he will be needed the most.

In the batting department, KKR will be relying on the likes of Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Dinesh Karthik and explosive all-rounder Andre Russell to score the bulk of the runs and give the bowlers something to bowl with. 

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Prasidh Krishna, Lockie Ferguson, Russell along with the spin duo of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy to produce timely breakthroughs.

After securing another emphatic win, this time against the Rajasthan Royals by a 33-run margin, Delhi Capitals will enter the contest high on confidence and the chances of making any significant change in the playing XI for the match against the Kolkata Knight Riders remain slim. 

In the batting department, the team will be relying on the likes of young right-hander Prithvi Shaw, veteran top-order batter Shikhar Dhawan, in-form Shreyas Iyer, exciting Shimron Hetmyer and captain Rishabh Pant to score the bulk of the runs and put the opposition under pressure.
