The hosts had a great run in the league until they were decimated by Chennai Super Kings in the last game. KKR could score just 108 batting first in the last game as the batsmen crumbled. But Dinesh Karthik & Co. are back at home where they are extremely difficult to beat.
DC, on the other hand, had 4 days off after their last game. Shreyas Iyer and his men had last defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore quite comprehensively at the Chinnaswamy. However, they could have a hard time facing KKR at Eden.
