DC vs KKR, Brabourne Stadium. Delhi Capitals are facing middle-order batting woes. They have an excellent squad on paper but haven't been able to perform accordingly. On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders are the table-toppers at the moment. Credit goes to the team efforts and excellent captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, and he will be looking forward to facing his former team to defeat them.
DC removed Rabada and Avesh but did not get their proper replacements. This is costing DC crucial runs in the death overs. Captain Pant's form is slightly concerning right now when runs from his bat are needed. Batter like Rovman Powell are told to bat at 6 or 7 is not fair for their potential. Powell can play a role of an anchor and bat at the number 3 position. DC's middle order is mostly bowling all-rounders like Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, and Shardul Thakur. They can bat on occasions, but they can't win matches for DC.
In-form bowling unit of KKR is the best performing bowling unit in the IPL 2022. Umesh Yadav is at his prime, and uprooting openers is his new hobby. He now has 51 powerplay wickets in IPL. The inclusion of Pat Cummins boosted the bowling attack and the batting strength. KKR is looking very strong against struggling DC. This game is going to be a run-fest at Brabourne.
