Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders will be playing against each other in Qualifier-2 today. Today's match will be held at Sharjah Cricket Stadium from 7:30 pm. Whichever team wins today will enter the final and clash with Chennai Super Kings on October 15.
Delhi Capitals, who had topped the points table of the league matches, were supposed to win one of the two matches of the qualifiers, but in the first qualifier, the team had to face defeat at the hands of Chennai Super Kings. At the same time, because of this, DC got the second and last chance against Kolkata Knight Riders. DC is a very strong team. From the opener of this team to the middle-order batting, all are in good form. The bowlers of this team have also impressed a lot with their bowling. The pressure on the young captain Rishabh Pant will be very high as this is his first IPL as a captain and now it will be a do or die match in front of him.
Kolkata Knight Riders is a very good team. The partnership of the opener young batsmen of this team has been very impressive throughout the IPL. Experienced bowler Sunil Narine had led the team to victory with his superb all-rounder performance in the last match, so his return to form is a good news for Kolkata. What the Delhi team can do in front of experienced captain Eoin Morgan will be a matter to be seen. However, today's match will be a tremendous competition.
