Indian Premier League 2019 | DC vs KKR | DC vs KKR 5th Match DOTBALL PREDICTION TIPS, GUIDE AND PREVIEW
Delhi, March 30, Saturday at 08:00 PM IST
It has been a fascinating start to IPL 2019 for the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the rebranded Delhi Capitals (DC) will be hosting them at home tonight. KKR lived up to their expectations as the most resurgent team in the IPL with a crushing win at home over Kings XI Punjab and SRH. Delhi Capitals looked rock solid against the Mumbai Indians at Wankhede and succumbed to a six wicket defeat against CSK at home.
Both teams have a lot to play for in the second match of the double header on Saturday. The first match will be between Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians at Mohali.
DC vs KKR Dotball Preview
A confident Delhi Franchise looking for their maiden home win
Delhi Capitals looked confident and focussed with a new team, management and strategy in their first game. Rishabh Pant made a crackling 78 off just 27 balls which s
tunned the star studded Mumbai Indians’ bowling attack. Shikhar Dhawan’s first game for DC went well and he will look forward to improving DC’s miserable average opening score in IPL with Privthi Shaw’s support.
Kagiso Rabada and Ishant Sharma looked impressive with the ball for DC, a franchise which has been struggling with its bowling lineup.
The second game saw a lacklustre batting performance by DC with Rishabh Pant failing to produce the first game’s magic.

Kolkata Knight Riders – Will the Dream Run Continue?
Kolkata Knight Riders have a lot of expectations riding on their shoulders after double winning streak to start IPL 2019. Andre Russell has been phenomenal with the bat and ball for KKR. He single handedly steered KKR to their first season win. Robin Uthappa looks good with the bat as well while KKR will be hoping for their captain Dinesh Karthik to step up to the task as well.
Pitch Analysis and Statistics
Feroz Shah Kotla will be a slow wicket and a paradise for spinners. We expect the bowlers to have a bigger say in deciding the course of this game as the pitch wears down with time. Chasing has not been a favorable option to choose at the toss, but we saw CSK chasing down DC’s target in the last game with ease.
