Delhi Capitals host Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL on Saturday and KKR are bidding to make it 3 wins from 3 outings.
Delhi Capitals
Delhi have won 1 and lost 1 of their matches so far. They started with an excellent 37 run victory away to Mumbai Indians with their bat first total of 213/6 the platform for success. Their first home game came against the Super Kings on Tuesday and they were comfortably, going down by 6 wickets. Delhi batted first in that game but despite 51 from Dhawan they couldn’t repeat the fireworks they put on in Mumbai with their innings closing on 147/6.
Knight Riders
The Knight Riders travel for the first time after back to back home wins over the Sunrisers (6 wickets) and the Kings XI (28 runs). Andre Russell and Nitish Rana were factors in both matches. Against the Sunirsers Rana made 68 and Russell blitzed an unbeaten 49 to take his side home. Against Kings XI Rana hit 63 and Russell 48 in a bat first total of 218 which the KKR bowlers successfully defended.

Betting Angle
Whether travelling can halt the KKR bandwagon is the question here. The Knight Riders have batted well and Russell is their trump card in the later overs but Delhi also have some potential match winners even though they were a bit disappointing against the Super Kings.
Slight preference is for the visitors.
Bet: Kolkata Knight Riders to win at 8/11
