I would give DC the edge over KKR in the second Qualifier: Ashish Nehra
Ashish Nehra has opined that Delhi Capitals will have an edge over Kolkata Knight Riders in their second qualifier in Sharjah on Wednesday. He explained that pacers have been successful at the venue because of their variations.
According to Nehra, DC has the upper hand compared to KKR in the pace department. He reckoned Rabada, Nortje, and Avesh Khan's presence in their ranks would give Delhi an edge in the all-important clash. He told Cricbuzz:
"KKR had the edge against RCB, but if you see Delhi’s team and even the way they played the last match, I would give Delhi the edge. KKR have good spinners, but this is the kind of pitch where even fast-bowlers can do well. Today, even Mohammed Siraj did well."
"DC have Nortje, Rabada and Avesh Khan. It’s not easy to play pacers on these pitches. Harshal Patel has done so well. It’s even harder to play the slower balls, so despite KKR’s spin bowlers, I would give DC the edge 55-45."
Both KKR and DC have strong bowling line-ups and well-rounded teams. Fans are in for an entertaining battle on Wednesday as two strong teams fight it out for a place in the IPL 2021 final.
