Posted on 29th Apr 2024 by rohit kumar

Kolkata Knight Riders will clash with Delhi Capitals in the 47th match of IPL 2024. In the first encounter this season, KKR's team dominated Pant's army and scored 106 runs. In such a situation, Delhi will take the field with the intention of settling the score of defeat from Kolkata. On the other hand, Delhi is back on the winning track and the team defeated Mumbai Indians in the last game.


 

How does the Eden Gardens pitch play?

The exciting match between KKR and Delhi (KKR vs DC) is to be played on the ground of Eden Gardens. In IPL 2024, there was heavy rain of fours and sixes on the home ground of Kolkata. This ground has been no less than heaven for the batsmen this season. In the last match, Punjab had created history by chasing the target of 262 runs on this ground.


 

What do the figures say?

Eden Gardens has hosted a total of 90 matches in the IPL so far. Out of these, 37 have been won by the team batting first. At the same time, the team chasing the runs has hit the ground in 53 matches. That means the decision to bowl first after winning the toss has been more effective on this ground.


 

Delhi is back on the winning track

The Delhi Capitals team is back on the winning track. Out of the last 5 matches, Delhi has tasted victory in four. In the last game, Pant's team defeated Mumbai Indians by 10 runs in a high-scoring match. On behalf of the team, Jack Fraser McGurk batted brilliantly and played a stormy innings of 84 runs. At the same time, Hope and captain Rishabh Pant himself appeared in good form.


 

KKR will hope for better performance from the bowlers.

Kolkata Knight Riders team will expect better performance from its bowlers against Delhi. The performance of the team's bowlers has been quite disappointing this season. While Mitchell Starc has given away runs generously, Varun Chakravarthy has also proved to be very expensive. Harshit Rana was also badly beaten against Punjab. The bet played on Dushman Chameera has also not worked for KKR.
