Delhi Capitals all set to face former champions KKR in IPL match at Sharjah

Sharjah, Oct 3 (UNI) Delhi Capitals (DC) are all set to face former champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Match 16 at the Sharjah Cricket Ground here on Saturday.

DC started their campaign with a Super Over-win against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) before adding one more win to their account, beating Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the next game. However, Sunrisers Hyderabad's (SRH) winning run was halted.

KKR, they lost their first game of the season against Mumbai Indians (MI), but the Dinesh Karthik-led team bounced back in style, registering two wins on the bounce against SRH and Rajasthan Royals (RR).

So far in this season, the Sharjah pitch has proved to be a paradise for the batsmen, and with both DC and KKR having some of the biggest hitters in their line-ups, it will make for an interesting contest. Here’s our list of players who could deliver the goods in this game.
The wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has not had any big score against his name this season and Sharjah could be the place where he could score big. The left-hander would be looking forward to batting long and clearing the fence and what could be a better venue than Sharjah to do that.

Andre Russell could not go past 24 in KKR’s game against RR, the hit three trademark Russell sixes. The West Indian big-hitter will be itching to go in Sharjah and if he comes good, KKR will be in with a chance to put up a huge score on the board.

Kagiso Rabada, who has seven wickets against his name, needs just two wickets from owning the Purple Cap. The right-arm pacer currently has an economy rate below 7 and while Sharjah is expected to favour the batsmen, Rabada, with speed and accuracy, will be someone who can turn the game on its head.

DC skipper Shreyas Iyer will be keen to have a good outing with the bat as his side eyes a return to winning ways and register its third win of the season. While Iyer got good starts in two games against KXIP and CSK, he is yet to play an innings where he has scored fifty or a hundred and what better occasion than their game against KKR to score big.

Eoin Morgan has done a fine job with the bat during KKR’s last two games, once in the chase against SRH and when KKR were setting up the target against RR. While the England limited-overs skipper can anchor the innings, he can go hammer and tongs with utter ease as well. KKR will hope that Morgan has another successful outing as they face DC.

Kamlesh Nagarkoti did not have any wickets to show after his first IPL game against SRH, but he was highly impressive against RR. The right-arm pacer picked two wickets, held two catches and was one of the key performers during KKR’s win against the Steve Smith-led side. KKR will hope that Nagarkoti continues his good run against DC.

Amit Mishra requires 1 wicket to complete 100 IPL wickets for the Delhi franchise. Rishabh Pant needs 4 sixes for 100 IPL sixes. Andre Russell needs 65 runs to complete 1,500 IPL runs and Dinesh Karthik needs 39 runs to complete 1,000 IPL runs as captain.
