KKR vs DC Match Prediction - Sep 28, 2021

The IPL 2021 League table has been divided into two clear parts. The top-3 teams seem to have their places in the IPL 2021 playoffs locked up. The last position, though, is up for grabs and there are four teams with a very good chance of locking that up.

From a betting perspective, this is great news as uncertainty indicates the availability of good odds. The Kolkata Knight Riders are one of those teams fighting for the fourth spot ad they are currently in the playoff zone.

Their opponents for this match, Delhi Capitals, have been one of the teams to beat and are almost guaranteed a place in the top-2. Let us try and find some good betting opportunities for this match.

Match prediction and cricket betting tips for Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals, IPL 2021. The match is going to be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah on the 28th of September 2021.

KKR vs DC Team Previews

Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders would have been disappointed at losing the match against Chennai Super Kings. They batted well, put up a strong total on the board, and then picked up wickets during the middle. One bad over from Prasidh Krishna turned out to be the difference in the end.

There are a lot of positives to take from their approach, though. Rahul Tripathi is batting quite well, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy have been bowling with control, and Dinesh Kartik looked in great touch to help KKR finish strong.

We also think Shubman Gill is due for a big score sooner rather than later. He has been timing the ball well and is playing in an aggressive manner. The big problem for KKR is going to be replacing Andre Russell for this match.

Shakib Al Hasan and Ben Cutting are the two options and looking at the kind of surface we have seen in Sharjah so far, Shakib Al Hasan is certainly the stronger option. We don’t see any other change in the playing eleven for this match.

KKR’s batting has been aggressive but it will be tested against the strong DC attack.

Delhi Capitals

DC showed in the previous match that it is capable of winning matches even when its batting does not quite fire. The bowling effort from DC was fantastic as each and every one of the bowlers did the job asked of it. Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada bring real quality to the seam bowling attack and Avesh Khan has probably been the find of the IPL 2021.

Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin are international bowlers in this format and going to be tough to come up against for the KKR batsmen.

The place where we thought DC was lacking a bit was in its team balance. It played Lalit Yadav at number 6 and that leaves its batting just a bit short. DC played just three overseas players in its previous match and can easily add Sam Billings or Tom Curran to the lineup.

We are a bit worried about DC’s batting as it still seems a bit too dependent on the top-order. A spin-friendly wicket could expose the lack of depth in its lineup.

Delhi Capitals Playing 11

Shikhar Dhawan, Steven Smith, Shreyas Iyer, RR Pant, Shimron Hetmyer, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Avesh khan.

KKR vs DC Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is definitely going to want to bat first and we think it should be seen as having a big advantage.

Pitch and Conditions

The weather has been hot and will remain the same. The surface in Sharjah took a lot of spin in the previous match and it was very hard for the chasing team to bat. 125 turned out to be a winning total, the lowest total ever defended in Sharjah.

We think another tough batting surface is likely to be in store. That means spinners will do well and something around 140-150 may be very hard to chase down. The number of sixes was also just 7 in total during the previous match (5 of which came from Jason Holder’s bat).

You can definitely find some good value in the betting markets for Total Sixes in this match.

KKR vs DC Betting Tips

This is a match where we are going to chase the odds. Delhi Capitals have been the best team but a tough batting surface and some team balance issues could end up tripping them over. Also, Kolkata Knight Riders almost brought down Chennai Super Kings in their previous match. They are in good form and cannot be underestimated.

Keeping all this in mind, we think the odds available on KKR right now are just too good to pass on.

Bet on Kolkata Knight Riders to win.

This is a great price to get and one occasion where past statistics seem to have forced the bookmakers into an error. The surface will help the spinners and we just don’t see anywhere close to 16 sixes being scored in this match. You can go big on this bet keeping the inherent risks of betting in mind of course.

    Rahul Tripathi Total Runs

He is the most consistent batsman for KKR in recent matches and is in very good form. He is an opening batsman (batting at number three right now) that is used to playing high-pace and is also quite good against the spin. This bet is definitely worth a punt as well.

    Axar Patel (3.20)

    Visit

If the surface is anything like what we saw in the previous match at Sharjah, the spinners are going to dominate. Axar Patel is available at fantastic odds when compared to his peers. The left-arm angle and his accurate style of bowling make him a good pick.
