IPL 2022: Match 19, KKR vs DC Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match between KKR and DC?

Kolkata Knight Riders are all set to take on the Delhi Capitals in Match 19 of IPL 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. Kolkata is coming off a thumping win against the Mumbai Indians in their previous game, on the back of Pat Cummins‘s brilliant show with the bat. The Shreyas Iyer-led side is currently at the top of the points table with three wins in four games and the only area of concern for them will be the top order that has been struggling.

On the other hand, Delhi Capitals are coming off two consecutive losses in their last two games after a winning start to their campaign this year and are currently at the seventh position in the points table with just two points on board. David Warner and Anrich Nortje returned to the playing line-up in the last game, but it did not make much of a difference as they looked completely out of sorts. However, the addition of Mitchell Marsh will add a lot more depth to their batting and bowling departments.

Pitch Report

The previous game at the Brabourne Stadium saw a big run chase by Gujarat Titans, and so far, it has been an excellent pitch for batting. With the dew factor not expected to affect the day game, the captains might be tempted to bat first. However, they are likely to stick to bowling first as it has been the trend so far in the tournament and many big scores have been chased down.

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the Match: Venkatesh Iyer

Venkatesh Iyer did not have the best of starts to IPL 2022 in the first three games, but he managed to get to a useful fifty in the previous game which would have done a world of good to his confidence level. On a tricky pitch, where the other batters were struggling to time the ball, Iyer constructed his innings well taking the odd risk at times and remained unbeaten on 50 off 41 balls with six fours and a six.

Probable best bowler of the Match: Umesh Yadav

Umesh Yadav is still at the top of the Purple Cap race with nine wickets in the tournament already in four games, and he bowled a splendid opening spell to Rohit Sharma in the previous game to remove the opener for just three. He has continued to impress and should have had one more wicket when a relatively easy catch had gone down with a mix-up between Rahane and Billings. The 34-year-old is making a strong case to get back in the limited-overs setup for India again.
