DC vs KKR Match Preview – IPL 2024, Match 16
Delhi Capitals
After suffering two losses in the first two matches of the tournament, DC finally emerged victorious and moved up on the points table. Rishabh Pant, the captain of Delhi Capitals, scored a half-century and was able to find back his rhythm. It was a big relief for DC as Pant returned to competitive cricket after over a year following a car accident in December 2022. Prithvi Shaw and David Warner smashed CSK bowlers all around the ground, and the team managed to put on a good total.
The bowlers bowled beautifully and took wickets at regular intervals. Mukesh Kumar took two wickets in his first over and turned the game for DC. Pacers Ishant Sharma and Khaleel Ahmed also played pivotal roles in completing the bowling attack, contributing to the team’s success.
The team will be looking forward to maintaining the winning streak.

Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders’ openers, Phil Salt and Sunil Narine, made a fiery start and scored 85 runs without loss during the Powerplay against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Venkatesh Iyer was also not behind and scored a half-century, including three fours and four sixes. The batters showed confidence and will hope to go with the same flow.
The bowlers need to change their strategy. They could have been more effective in the last game against RCB. Although Andre Russell bowled exceptionally well and picked up two wickets. But for what it’s worth, the team won the game and will be looking forward to doing the same.
