- Both teams have a dangerous bowling attack
DC vs KKR Analysis:
Delhi Capitals and the Kolkata Knight Riders are going to be playing against each other in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2021. DC lost its first chance to reach the IPL 2021 Final when it lost to the Chennai Super Kings while KKR got past RCB on a slow and difficult to bat on wicket.
Qualifier 2 is going to be played at Sharjah, which is where KKR won its match against RCB. the conditions in Sharjah have been difficult and we could have another close, low-scoring match to contend with.
DC’s poor record in the IPL Playoffs is something that will play on its mind while KKR will be hoping to carry the momentum it has built up in the second of IPL 2021.
Match Details:
Date: October 13, 2021
Time: 07:30 PM (IST)
Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah
Live Streaming: Disney+ Hotstar
TV: Star Sports Network
Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The conditions have been slow, spin-friendly, and good for the bowlers. That is exactly what we expect in this match as well. The only time to score runs freely is during the powerplay when the ball comes onto the bat. One betting strategy that you can use is to wait till the powerplay ends and then bet ‘Under’ the projected Total Score betting markets.
Not too many sixes are going to be hit in this match and something around 140 should be seen as a par total.

Delhi Capitals (DC):
DC added Tom Curran to its lineup and left itself a batsman short in our opinion. It will be interesting to see if they add someone like Sam Billings to the lineup or stick with playing just 5 batsmen essentially. That lack of depth is what forced DC to consolidate at a time when it should have been making the most of a fast start.
DC has been playing this imbalance lineup for most of the second stint and we think they may continue to do so once more.
this is going to be a match where spin is going to play a huge role and so DC’s batting will depend on its Indian players to lead the way. Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Rishab Pant, and Shreyas Iyer are all in decent form but have just tapered off at the wrong time.
DC’s bowling attack is exceptional and one bad performance should not take away from that. Avesh Khan had a very poor night and he kept on dishing half-volleys to the batsmen. Despite that, Rabada, Nortje, Avesh, Axar, and Ashwin form a very good lineup.
DC may play a sixth bowling option as well as they have done so in most matches.
Likely XI: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer, RR Pant, Tom Curran, Shimron Hetmyer, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Avesh khan, Anrich Nortje.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR):
Sunil Narine turned back the clock and won the match almost single-handedly for his team. His good form, Varun Chakravarthy’s consistency, and the brilliance of Lockie Ferguson make KKR a very dangerous bowling lineup as well. Shakib Al Hasan has performed very well in the matches that he has played and could continue to keep his place for this match.
Their weak link is the second pacer, likely to be Shivam Mavi in this match. He is someone that DC is going to target for sure.
KKR’s batting lineup is in god form but Iyer, Gill, and Tripathi are going to be tested with the short stuff. Having Sunil Narine, Eoin Morgan, and Shakib al Hasan in the lineup is a huge advantage especially in what is expected to be a low-scoring contest.
Likely XI: Shubman Gill, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, RA Tripathi, Eoin Morgan, Dinesh Karthik, Shakib Al Hasan, SP Narine, Lockie Ferguson, Varun Chakravarthy, Shivam Mavi.
