IPL 2020, DC vs KKR: Preview, probable XI, match prediction, live streaming, weather forecast and pitch report

Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders will clash in an important IPL game at Sharjah on Saturday. The Capitals suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad after winning the first two games, while KKR are on a winning streak after coming out on top in their last two games.

The Capitals will want big scores from their batsmen. The fact that there have been only two half-centuries from Delhi so far suggests that the batsmen have failed to convert the starts into big really scores. On the bowling front, Kagiso Rabada has been sensational but has lacked support from the others.

The Kolkata Knight Riders have been buoyed by the performances of their young guns Shubman Gill, Shivam Mavi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti. KKR have backed these youngsters in the past couple of years and are now reaping rewards.

Pat Cummins returning back to form is a big plus for the Knight Riders. Interestingly, the team's big match-winners, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and Dinesh Karthik, haven't really set the stage on fire so far. Once these players come into their own, KKR will become the team to beat.

Predicted XIs

Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capitals will be keen to get Ravichandran Ashwin back in the side. The ace off-spinner has been out of action since suffering a shoulder injury in Delhi's first IPL game.

The Capitals will also have an eye on Shimron Hetmyer who has been pretty disappointing thus far. South African quick Anrich Nortje has failed to create an impact and might make way for Keemo Paul or Daniel Sams.
