Delhi Capitals (DC) will take on two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 16 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday, April (KKR) 3. Capitals, led by Rishabh Pant, will look to capitalize on their previous win over five-time champions CSK. DC started their IPL 2024 season with a four-wicket win over Kings XI Punjab (PBKS). They later lost to Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 12 runs, but in the third encounter, they recovered and defeated defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 20 runs.

Capitals currently sit seventh in the IPL 2024 points table.

KKR, captained by Shreyas Iyer, got off to a good start in the 2024 season, defeating SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 4 runs in the first match and then defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 7 wickets ( RCB).

With their latest win, KKR became the first team to win away from home in this year’s IPL. They have four points from two games and a net rating of +1.047, ranking second.

Ahead of another exciting showdown in IPL 2024, we take a look at the predicted line-ups of both sides.

DC Predict XI

David Warner

Australia’s David Warner has been a standout batsman for DC in the first three games. The swashbuckling left-hander scored 130 runs in three games, with a high of 52.

Mitchell Marsh

Mitchell Marsh struggled in his first three games. But he’s a great all-around player who will work hard on his size in this game.

Prithvi Shaw

Prithvi Shaw scored 43 points for the Capitals against defending champions CSK in the first game of the season with a strike rate of 159.26.

Rishabh Pant (Captain/Goalkeeper)

Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant scored 51 against CSK, which included 4 fours and 3 sixes. He wants to replicate the form he had against KKR.

Tristan Stubbs

South Africa’s Tristan Stubbs performed well against Rajasthan Royals despite their defeat. Chasing 186, Stubbs hit an unbeaten 44 off 23 balls to almost seal an incredible win for the Capitals. He also hopes to continue his good form in this game.

Axar Patel

Axar Patel has contributed with both bat and ball in DC’s first three games. Axar’s left-arm spin was very economical while also providing some crucial runs. He will also play a vital role in DC’s match against KKR.

Sumit Kumar

Bowling all-rounder Sumit Kumar’s performances for the Capitals so far have been rarely lackluster. The Gurgaon-born cricketer needs to put in a stellar performance against KKR in DC to secure his place in the top 11.

Kuldeep Yadav

India’s star spinner Kuldeep Yadav has performed well in the first three games in DC. The left-arm wrist spinner has scalped three wickets in two games with an economy rate of 7.63. He could be the major spoiler for Capitals against KKR.

Anrich Nortje

Anrich Nortje has paid dearly in the first few games. After a huge win over CSK, he will try to add strength to his team in this game.

Khalil Ahmed

Khalil Ahmed has made some key contributions in the Capitals’ first three games. The left-arm pacer has five wickets so far and will be hoping to add more in the upcoming match against KKR.

Mukesh Kumar

Mukesh Kumar took the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal against RR and will look to improve his record against KKR.

KKR predict XI

Phil Salt (goalkeeper)

England opener Phil Salt has scored 84 runs in two games with a strike rate of 140. He will also try his best to help the team in KKR’s upcoming match against DC.

Sunil Narine

Sunil Narine had a brilliant performance against RCB, scoring 47 runs with a strike rate of 213.64. Additionally, he has two wickets in two encounters. He will also play an important role for KKR in this tournament.

Venkatesh Iyer

Venkatesh Iyer scored a brilliant 50 against RCB which included 3 fours and 4 sixes. He aims to continue his scintillating form in Vizag.

Shreyas Iyer (captain)

KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer played an outstanding leading role against RCB, scoring 39 runs off 22 balls. He must return to peak performance and continue to contribute to KKR’s middle-order success.

Nitish Rana

Nitish Rana is an important member of the middle hierarchy of the Order. The left-hander scored 413 runs for KKR last year and was one of the highlights of the team. He hasn’t performed yet this year and this game will be a great opportunity for him.

Linku Singh

Rinku Singh had a forgettable season last year, scoring 474 runs for KKR. In the IPL opener against SRH, Rinku scored 23 runs to help KKR post a score of 208/7. The explosive batsman will once again play the role of finisher for KKR in IPL 2024.

Andre Russell

Star all-rounder Andre Russell started his IPL 2024 season on a high note as he played a match-winning innings of 64 not out and also suffered two scalps against SRH. He has scored over 2,300 runs and taken 98 wickets in the IPL, making it a no-brainer for the explosive all-rounder to join the team.

Mitchell Stark

Mitchell Starc was bought for a whopping Rs 2,475 crore but has had a disappointing start to the season. He hopes to show his true worth in this game against a resurgent DC team.

Varun Chakraborty

Varun Chakravarthy took 20 wickets in 14 games for KKR last year but failed to concede a run in the first game of IPL 2024. He will try to improve his scoring in this game.

Harshit Rana

Harshit Rana, KKR’s hero against SRH, has made his presence felt by defending 13 runs in the final over. Harshit, who took 33 wickets in KKR’s IPL 2024 opener, will provide more help to the team against DC.

Suyash Sharma

Suyash Sharma had a breakout season last year and is off to a great start for the 2024 season. In his most recent match, he took two balls and conceded 18 runs in a high-scoring game against SRH. He also played a brilliant catch against SRH and will look to play a key role for KKR’s spin department in this game.
