It’s been a little but of a better second half of IPL 2021 so far for Kolkata Knight Riders. After having only a couple of wins in their first 7 games, they’ve got 2 wins in 3 games ever since the tournament moved to UAE, now sitting in the middle of the points table with 4 wins in 10 games. However, they’re up against a tough opponent in this first game of today’s double header and they know they need to win every game from here.
We’re talking about Match 41 and the opponent in question is Delhi Capitals who is sitting pretty at #2 on the IPL 2021 points table with 8 wins in 10 games and they’re yet to lose in the UAE leg of the tournament so far. While KKR is better on paper, DC is a fearless team and young blood has been doing well for them. Keep reading for our complete My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) KOL vs DC My11Circle predictions…

Stats that matter
- Head to head in last 5 games, Delhi leads 4-1.

- 18, 53, 41* – Venkatesh Iyer’s last 3 scores in IPL 2021.
Kolkata Knight Riders
Remember, this isn’t the same Sharjah pitch as IPL 2020 where 200+ scores were easy to make and chase down as well. However, it’s coming on well with the new ball, so we’re picking openers from both sides. Venkatesh Iyer hasn’t disappointed this year and he makes my KOL vs DC fantasy team while Shubman Gill is capable of picking up a few boundaries in the powerplay overs, so we’re going to pick him for the first time in IPL 2021 too.
After picking up a hamstring injury in the last game, we’re unsure if Dre Russ will play today, so we think it’s time for Shakib Al Hasan to make an appearance in IPL 2021, and we can add him to our KOL vs DC Dream11 team, because he’s a good bowler as well. With the ball, pace could be a little bit troublesome and that’s why Lockie Ferguson is making our team even though he’s yet to make a mark in IPL 2021.
Delhi Capitals
The last time Lalit Yadav played KKR, his off-spin worked wonders, picking up 3 wickets (all three left-handers) and with many south paws in the KKR side, he is a valuable pick in your My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) KOL vs DC fantasy team today. Apart from him, the South African new ball pacers should certainly make your side and with the bat, Sam Billings is now an option for DC since he’s done with quarantine.

With the bat, Shreyas Iyer has made a dream return to the side after being away with an injury. With scores of 47* and 43 in IPL 2021 so far, he’s a sure candidate of scoring more runs and even getting a big one today. On a pitch where players may want to go hard against bowlers, we believe a wicket-to-wicket bowler like Axar Patel may come into the game big time, so it’s worth a gamble to pick him as well.
