As we head towards the final group game of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 where Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will host Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. This is going to be a reverse match as KKR vs DC was a low-scoring game in the previous encounter.
The last time these two met at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, DC had to face defeat, where Finn Allen scored a brilliant century while chasing the small total of 143 runs.
IPL 2026: KKR vs DC Preview:
Kolkata Knight Riders are in great form and have won 6 of their last 7 matches in the tournament. Irrespective of the result in the day’s play between MI and RR, Ajinkya Rahane and his boys will look to win this match. They will be without their leading run-scorer Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who is out with a finger injury.
Delhi Capitals are already out of the tournament after PBKS won their last game against LSG. However, they will be looking to finish high in a tournament that has been full of ups and downs for Axar Patel and his team. Despite starting the competition on a high note, they faltered in the middle stages and were eventually eliminated.
The KKR vs DC match will be exciting due to the small square boundaries of Eden Gardens. Fans would turn out in large numbers to support the Knights in the final game of the season. The two teams have faced each other 36 times, and KKR have won 20 matches, DC have won 15, and one match ended with no result.
The pitch for KKR vs DC will be played on pitch number 5, a track which will be two-way, and will be difficult to score runs, as we saw in the last game against MI, where the batsmen were struggling to score runs, and this will help the spinners, both the teams have quality spin units and teams winning the toss will want to field first due to dew.
