Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders are set to lock horns in match 51 of the IPL 2026 season on Friday evening at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
DC are under pressure as they have dropped down to seventh position with 8 points in 10 matches after Tuesday's 8-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings at the same venue.
KKR are just a point behind them with 7 points in 9 matches and could revive their top four aspirations with a win here, especially as they come on the back of a 7-wicket away win against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
