After losing the toss, Eoin Morgan said, "Would have liked to chase, been the trend in T20 cricket but ultimately we need to play good cricket. The bowlers were accurate and got a lot more than previous games. I have struggled for form as well. Was nice to get some runs, albeit a small contribution. Hopefully I can continue through the tournament. No changes for us. Looks like our strongest XI on paper. Another opportunity for us to build confidence and bring our best."

Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Steven Smith, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer, Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma, Avesh Khan

Winning the toss Pant said, "We will bowl first. There might be dew, but the wicket still looks dry. So we want to make use of it with the ball. You can only take the positives from such a loss. One change. Mishy had some shoulder injury, so Lalit comes in."

Eyeing to get back on the winning track after being defeated by just 1 run by the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals on Thursday will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad.  the back of a comprehensive five-wicket victory in the last match against the PBKS, Morgan and Co. are high on confidence. For KKR, captain Eoin Morgan looked in good touch, however, the KKR is still to resolve their opening pair issues in the IPL 2021. 

For the Delhi Capitals, Rishabh Pant batted for more than 50 balls in their last match. This might give Pant the confidence to play in his natural attack style against Kolkata. Pant will also be looking to promote Shimron Hetmyer up the order as he brought back DC into the game against RCB. On the other hand, KKR will be looking to gift a victory to all-rounder Andre Russell on his birthday. 

Coming on the head-to-head record, Kolkata Knight Riders hold a 14-12 lead over Delhi Capitals in 27 matches. Both the teams have been part of IPL since the inception. In 2020, both DC and KKR won a game against each other.

According to our DC vs KKR prediction, the Delhi capitals appear to be the favourites to trump the Kolkata Knight Riders as per our DC vs KKR prediction. The Kolkata side have visibly struggled to win matches consistently this year, whereas Rishabh Pant and co. have come up with dominant performances in their initial games. A high-octane T20 match is on the cards as the two teams look to claim a crucial victory in their upcoming encounter.

The pitch at this venue starts slowing down in the early phase of the game but as soon as dew comes into play, the ball skids a little bit and also helps the batters. This could make for a tricky proposition when it comes to selection and the toss.
