From Crisis to Comeback: KKR Look to Continue Winning Run Against DC
Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders, IPL 2026: This match is crucial for the Delhi Capitals, as a loss here will completely shut down their playoff chances. Meanwhile, the Kolkata Knight Riders will be banking heavily on a win to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The 51st game of the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will be contested by Delhi Capitals (DC) against three-time IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The game will take place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi and is a must-win for both the teams.
If Delhi Capitals lose this game, their chance of qualifying for playoffs gets dashed. For Kolkata Knight Riders, however, a loss would mean that their qualification for playoffs is not possible. It is the first time the two sides clash in the current season.
Delhi Capitals won their first two games of the season but have faltered subsequently. They have lost six of their last eight matches. Their luck is also failing at home. With four wins and six losses from 10 matches, DC is seventh in the points table. Their net run rate is -0.949. Another defeat will permanently close the doors to the playoffs.
