KKR vs. DC:
Although Mukesh Kumar is slow, KKR has performed well this season, winning two games. In the first two games, Phil Salt, the opener, Venkatesh Iyer, and all-rounder Andre Russell have been playing well.
The Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders will play their 16th IPL encounter today in Visakhapatnam at 7:30 PM.
The Delhi Capitals beat the Chennai Super Kings in Visakhapatnam. In the meantime, Kolkata Knight Riders are about to upset Delhi and earn a hat-trick. Delhi Capitals’ 20-run victory over CSK, the reigning champions, who were defeated by Rishabh Pant and company, gives them hope.

The Capitals will have to put on another similar show against KKR on Wednesday, after the KKR batters defeated the Royal Challengers Bangalore bowlers on March 29 to earn their second victory of the season.
The pressure will be on Prithvi Shah and veteran Australian David Warner to give the Delhi cricket team a solid start.

Bundy carries on with his remarkable path in the meanwhile. Captain Bundy turned in his greatest effort after two losing innings, scoring his maiden season half-century and seems to be gradually returning to form.
DC lacks native power hitters, thus players like Mitchell Marsh of Australia and Tristan Stubbs of South Africa, who can both initiate attacks against the opponent, will need to perform well in the end.
Even though Stubbs impressed the Rajasthan Royals with his bat, Delhi will benefit from a steady performance from him.

However, Marsh has not yet displayed his incredible talent, which might make him a deadly weapon for D.C.
Henrich Nordje, a footballer from South Africa, returned to action following an extended absence due to injury. Because KKR is a formidable squad, the Indian fast bowlers for the Capitals will have to exert more effort than they are capable of.
Though Khalil Ahmed’s persistent fielding problems are still a worry, his performance against CSK was noteworthy.
While KKR has performed well this season, winning two games, Mukesh Kumar, on the other side, lacks speed. The all-rounders Andre Russell, Venkatesh Iyer, and opener Phil Salt will test the Delhi fast bowlers because they have been playing well in the first two games.
The victory for Royal Challengers Bangalore also included runs from captain Shreyas Iyer. Mitchell Starc and Varun Chakraborty have scored more runs than pacer Harshit Rana, who has taken five wickets in his first two outings.
