The 48th match of the Indian Premier League is to be played between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. This match is important for both the teams, because if Delhi wins, they will come second in the points table, while Kolkata Knight Riders need to win to stay in the playoff race. As captain, Axar Patel and Ajinkya Rahane will be face to face.
What is the situation of both the teams?
If we talk about the situation of both the teams, Delhi Capitals under the leadership of Akshar Patel has won 6 out of 9 matches. The team is fourth in the points table with 12 points. If Delhi wins today, it will have 14 points and will come second. If its net run rate improves, it can oust RCB and take the number 1 position.
Kolkata Knight Riders have been able to win only 3 matches out of 9, their last match was cancelled. With 7 points the team is at 7th position in the points table. If they win today, they will have 9 points and will still be behind sixth placed Lucknow (10 points), but winning today’s match is very important for them. If KKR loses today then it will be very difficult to reach the playoffs.
