IPL 2019, DC vs KKR Preview: Will KKR's spin trio trap Delhi at Kotla?

In the 10th match of VIVO IPL 2019 (IPL 2019), Delhi Capitals will host Kolkata Knight Riders as they look to improve their home ground advantage at the Ferozeshah Kotla in Delhi on Saturday. Under the leadership of young captain Shreyas Iyer, Delhi started their IPL 2019 campaign on a winning note by defeating the mighty Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede stadium but they lost their second match against M S Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings on a slow pitch at Feroze Shah Kotla.

Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, had a merry start as they too won their opening match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and then went on to beat Kings XI Punjab at the Eden Gardens.

Delhi Capitals face a tough challenge as KKR eye a winning hat-trick, will Delhi save the fort and deny a hat-trick to KKR? it'd be too early to say anything on that.

It is certain that the pitch is going to favour spinners and both sides would be ready with their tactics.

Delhi Capitals team news

The Shreyas Iyer-led Delhi Capitals got a boost in the batting line-up with the inclusion of Shikhar Dhawan, at the same time, Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw hold enough power to turn tha match in their favour with their batting skills. On the bowling side, Amit Mishra proved why he is the best choice whenever his team needs it with Ishant Shamra and Axar Patel giving enough boost. Delhi would likely to play with an extra spinner as the pitch is not pace-friendly.

If Delhi wins the match against KKR at home, it would be a confidence booster for the team and it would find itself at a comfortable position on the points table, while another loss at home ground would mean more experiments and brainstorming.
