Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Team Preview
Delhi Capitals
The Delhi Capitals have been soundly defeated in all of their encounters thus far in the competition. To have a chance in this game, their bowling attack must improve.
Mitchell Marsh made his return to the Delhi Capitals lineup against the Royal Challengers Bangalore after a week in Australia. Marsh came in to replace the big-hitting West Indian, Rovman Powell, and we expect the Australian to stay in the lineup for this game.
Kolkata Knight Riders
The Kolkata Knight Riders have lost their last two games to the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Mumbai Indians, but we believe they have enough batting talent to win this match.
Litton Das is expected to replace Rahmanullah Gurbaz at the top of the order and as Kolkata Knight Riders’ wicket-keeper after scoring 15, 0, and 8 in his last three innings. There will be no more alterations before this match.

Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders outfield report
Arun Jaitley Stadium
The last time the par score in T20s at the Arun Jaitley Stadium was more than 180 was in 2018. The wicket will provide some help to the pace bowlers.
Partly overcast skies are expected in Delhi on Thursday evening, with humidity levels reaching 50% in the match’s second innings.
Teams batting second have a considerably higher victory rate at this stadium, and with the humidity levels rising later in the game, we anticipate that both captains will opt to field first.
