The 13th edition of IPL is nearing its end and just over 14 matches remaining for a grand finish and in the 42nd game of the season, Eoin Morgan led Kolkata Knight Riders will be locking horns with Shreyas Iyer led Delhi Capitals in an all important clash. Both the teams have lost their previous game and will be hoping to get back to the winning ways in this game.

There are some changes expected from both the sides and they would want to field their best XI possible in this crucial encounter.
One of the most loyal servants of Kolkata Knight Riders is the spin bowling all rounder from West Indies, Sunil Narine. Though, his prowess with the bat has faded away big time, he was KKR’s primary strike bowler and even bailed them out of tricky situations against CSK and KXIP which they could have easily lost.
Now, with all to play for and the fragility of KKR’s bowling attack, they will definitely consider bringing in Sunil Narine in place of Tom Banton
KKR Playing11
Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan, Dinesh Karthik, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Lockie Ferguson, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna, Barun Chakravarthy

Anrich Nrotje came into the tournament as a replacement for Chris Woakes and just took everyone by surprise with his sheer pace. He has been the main reason for DC’s successful campaign in this season to this point in time. He was rested for the previous game against KXIP which DC lost.
DC’s pace bowling spearhead Kagiso Rabada was nullified without any proper support from the other end and DC badly missed Anrich Nortje against KXIP. They just cant afford another loss at this stage of the tournament and they would be wanting to play Anrich Nortje against the explosive batting lineup of KKR.
DC playing11
Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Ravichandran Ashwin, Anrich Nortje, Tushar Deshpande
