Kolkata, April 12, Friday at 08:00 PM IST
The Friday derby of Vivo IPL 2019 will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals at the iconic Eden Gardens. The previous encounter between both the teams was an enthralling high-tension clash that ended in a Super Over and something similar is expected tomorrow. The clash will begin at 08:00 PM IST.
The high-flying Kolkata Knight Riders faced a drubbing at the hands of defending champions Chennai Super Kings in their last fixture and would be desperate to bounce back. On the opposite, the rejigged Delhi Capitals registered a 4-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in their last assignment and would be eyeing to continue their momentum.
It will be interesting to watch if Delhi Capitals manages two wins in a row against Kolkata Knight Riders or not.
