Preview
Kolkata who have been performing brilliantly in Dubai, their 2nd leg of IPL has been on the top, and their batting and bowling have been very good as well and it is all happening non-existence of Andre Russell. Kolkata has a very strong batting line-up and the youngsters know how to use play pace and spin very well, and also after a great loss against CSK while Jadeja took off one of KKR bowler P Krishna and made Morgan pay for the Decision he made against in form Jaddu and also that match had been in favor of KKR but Morgan recovered his decisions and currently doing extremely well in the field.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals, this session was good for them as well, but they won’t be that happy for losing the previous match against CSK where Tom Curren was doing extremely well in the three overs where he was very economical and also got 3 wickets but putting him against the best finisher of all time MS Dhoni who has smashed 3 fours and 1 six to finish the over, that’s was definitely not a good decision from Pant for sure because they had K Rabada who has been very good for the team and also was the leading wicket-taker on the death over, however, the team is still on the playoffs and will face off today against in-form Kolkata for the last time in this session.
Pitch Report – KOL vs DC
The pitch is no more the high score pitch for sure and the bowlers are getting propper assist from the pitch and the batters are not getting the bowl on the bat and that shows how the pitch has changed so much for bowlers, the very best venue for batters of all time in Dubai has now got bowlers to turn favor on, also batting first should not be the call but won’t be that much of help for batters for sure in the first or second phase at all because of the power play where only the batters are scoring some of the runs for the team in the bord but after it, batters were so much concerned to play big shots against spinners here, however, the average score on this pitch is 138, 145, 155 and might be defendable as well.

Top Dismissals
- L Ferguson who has a great session going on also has taken many wickets for the team with the low economy as well and also we have a great player battle to see most run-scorer he is the Delhi Capital’s opening batter Shikhar Dhawan who have got dismissed 3 times from New Zealand pacer Loki Ferguson and the rivalry must go on for the good of Kolkata because if he stays in the ground for a long time then it will be a disaster for Kolkata.
