Delhi Capitals Face Kolkata Knight Riders After Recent Defeat
Match Preview: Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders
The Delhi Capitals, under the leadership of Axar Patel, are coming off a loss to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their home ground. Today, they are set to take on the Kolkata Knight Riders, who recently split points with the Punjab Kings in their last encounter at Eden Gardens.
In the toss, Delhi Capitals opted to bowl first, despite uncertainties regarding the dew factor. Patel decided to maintain the same lineup as before. On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders have made a change, bringing in Anukul Roy.
During the toss, Axar Patel stated:
"We will field first, as batting becomes easier in the second innings due to dew. We are sticking with the same XI. The pitch appears slow and not too dry, and I anticipate a score around 190-200. We will evaluate the conditions and aim to limit their total. It's crucial to stay focused on the present and concentrate on our process rather than the outcome. We need to execute our strategies effectively."
Kolkata's captain, Ajinkya Rahane, commented:
"We have made one change, with Anukul Roy joining the team. It's challenging to read the wicket, and I believe a left-arm spinner will be beneficial on this surface. We need to secure victories in all our remaining matches, and we will approach each game one at a time. Understanding this wicket is quite difficult."
