Kolkata Knight Riders are in the second spot in the IPL and they have terrific for the majority of the season. Except for a blip in the last game, where everything that could go wrong has gone wrong, the team has not shown any clear weaknesses. Andre Russell has been the most consistent player in the team and a lot of the success is on his shoulders. If everything goes according to plan, this franchise will be making the playoffs with ease.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals have an even record till now with 3 wins and 3 losses. This is a better start for the team in recent years, given how terrible they have been in the past. They do have some really talented players in Kagiso Rabada, Shikhar Dhawan and Colin Ingram, who have enough experience to guide these youngsters but need to be at their best for the majority of the season. If they are able to get into the playoffs, it will be a job well done for the franchise.

Venue – Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India
