Having won 3 consecutive games, a confident KKR will now lock horns with the Delhi Capitals (DC) in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2021 on Wednesday night. Interestingly, this match will be played in Sharjah, the same ground where the Knights beat Virat Kohli's RCB in the Eliminator on Monday. 

Contrary to KKR, DC is coming off 2 straight losses and Rishabh Pant is looking short of ideas. They lost to CSK in Qualifier 1 but another loss will end their hunt for a maiden IPL title. While they need to figure out their death bowling woes, KKR on the other hand is a solid bowling unit. DC would also have to find a way to attack Shakib, Varun Chakravarthy, and Sunil Narine, as the spin trio choke oppositions in the middle overs.

Kolkata though also holds an edge over Delhi in the head-to-head battle, having won 15 of the 29 games against them. Moreover, KKR also beat DC in the last group game in Sharjah itself.
