After topping the IPL table the Dehli Capitals fell to CSK and have one shot to make it to the final. They have been in impressive form in the IPL 2021 and will be keen to make it to back to back finals – and secure a win.
DC has taken on KKR in the UAE recently and lost the match by 3 wickets with 10 balls remaining. This was one of the poorest performances we have seen from the Capitals. They batted first but only managed to put on 127/9 after losing wickets regularly. They did make a good attempt at defending the score but KKR still managed to chase it down with relative ease in the end losing 7 wickets in the process.
DC did beat KKR back in April in the first half of the IPL in India. The form of DC has been excellent and they will still be confident of a win going into this match.
Dehli Capitals has 3 batsmen in the top 10 for the torment. Shikhar Dhawan leads the way with 551 runs and if they make the final he’ll have a good chance of being the top scorer for the tournament.

KKR scraped into the knock out stages finishing 4th in the table. They then put in a great performance to beat RCB and get a shot at making the final.
Rahul Tripathi is the top batsman and sits 12th on the table with 383 runs. They also have Gill on 381 runs and Raina on 370 runs. This has been a solid effort from the team rather than one player leading the line. They have all played 15 matches.
In bowling, KKR also does not have any players in the top 10. Narine leads the way with 14 wickets so far and was in excellent form in the win to knock RCB out of the IPL. Rabada has 13 wickets but has been very expensive at 8.32 runs an over across 14 matches.

This was an excellent performance from KKR. RCB started the match well and were going nicely when the first wicket fell at 49/1. After that, the wickets kept falling at a regular rate and the runs slowed down. KKR bowlers did well to limit RCB to 138/7. In reply, KKR was going along nicely and the match looked evenly poised. Then Sunil Narine came in and smashed 26 off 15 balls to give KKR the upper hand. Six wickets fell in total but they did enough to win the match with 2 balls to spare.

As a neutral spectator, this was a great match to watch and Dehli should have won it. They took the wickets they needed to get in a good position but MS Dhoni was their undoing. Dhoni hit 18 off 6 balls to win with 3 balls remaining.
