Strengths :
Kolkata Knight Riders’ strength is the presence of match winners of this format like Andre Russell, Eoin Morgan, Dinesh Karthik are experienced players of this format and they also have young talented players like Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, Tom Banton who have the potential to play big knocks. In the bowling they have two experienced pacers Pat Cummins and Lockie Fergsuon and spinners Varun Chkravarthy and Sunil Narine and young quicks Shivam Mavi, Prasidh Krishna too have been impressive.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have a balanced squad as their opener Shikhar Dhawan is in red hot form as he has scored two back to back hundreds and the likes of Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Marcus Stoinis and Shimron Hetmyer too are good batsmen and in the bowling their attack of Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, R Ashwin and Axar Patel is the best bowling attack of this season.
Weaknesses :
Kolkata Knight Riders have a few weakness like opener Shubamn Gill is struggling to score quick runs, Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Rana and Dinesh Karthik aren’t looking in good form, Eoin Morgan bats in lower order despite being in good form, all rounder Andre Russell is suffering from injury and in bowling Pat Cummins has struggled to take wickets with the new ball so they have a lot of areas where they need to improve as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals don’t have any major weakness but the poor form of Prithvi Shaw can be a cause of concern and also Rishabh Pant hasn’t batted up to his standard and they will be hoping for a turn around and in bowling only the fifth bowler is a little bit weakness but other bowlers are too good and they can easily manage it.

KOL vs DC Today IPLMatch Prediction :
Here we are going to discuss about a few players from both sides who can be very good picks for KOL vs DC Dream 11 Prediction teams
Shikhar Dhawan : He has been in great form for the last four matches as his last four scores are 106*, 101*, 57 and 69* and it shows how good he is batting right now so he is a must pick.
Eoin Morgan : Captain of Kolkata Knight Riders is in good form and has been carrying his batting line up for the last two-three matches and if he gets good support from other end then we can see a good innings from his bat.
Kagiso Rabada : Rabada has been in excellent form since the start of the tournament and has picked up 21 wickets in 10 matches so he is taking more than 2 wickets per game on average and he should continue his good form.
Shreyas Iyer : He too has had a decent tournament so far and played a good 88* runs knock against Knight Riders in the first fixture and after having two silent games with bat he will look to play a big knock in this match.
