Preview Match 13: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Vs Delhi Daredevils (DD)
Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils both won only one match in this IPL 2018 till now. KKR won the first match and lost the last two matches whereas Delhi Daredevils won the last match after losing back to back two matches.
Both teams are equal as per squads and have balanced batting and bowling order. The team who will do the best in fielding will win this match.
Kolkata Knight Riders still having an issue with the batting order, They are unable to place the batsman in the right order. In the last match, Sunil Narine came on 3rd down which affected the match and they lost it. Along with this still, KKR didn’t fix the final playing XI for the series so that cricketer can give their 100%.
Going against Delhi Daredevils in today match, Dinesh Karthik needs to give himself more time at the crease and figure out what Robin Uthappa and Sunil Narine’s roles are in the side. While Andre Russell can provide some firepower with the bat in the middle-order, he also needs to give Gill more time to show just why he has been such a revelation in U-19 cricket.
Delhi Daredevils somewhat made their clear point after winning the last match in the batting and bowling order. They look more confident to win this match against KKR but we can’t say as KKR have also rapid fire batsman and bowlers who can change the game anytime.

OUR PREDICTION:
While history would suggest that this should be a KKR win, given how both teams stack up, this is anything but straightforward. Although the Kolkata Knight Riders will have home advantage, their inexperience and over-reliance on key players might just be their undoing in this. With a powerful batting line-up that is good enough to tear apart any bowling attack, Delhi Daredevils will go into the game as favorites and should have enough in the tank to come out on top.
To predict who can win this game then it is high chance that Kolkata Knight Riders can win this match.
