DC vs KKR Match Preview
Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders will battle it out in the 16th match of the IPL 2024. The match is set to take place at ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on 3rd April 2024.
DC is at the lower berth of the table but they made a jump after a win in the last match against CSK. This first win came after 2 back to back defeats. DC will look forward to winning the 2nd match as well at their secondary home ground in Visakhapatnam.
KKR is having a great start to the season as they have not lost a match yet. The team is collectively in good form as they won the first match by defending the total and the second by chasing the target successfully. They have the momentum by their side and will be looking forward to staying at the top of the points table.
Let’s take a look at the dream11 team prediction as DC and KKR face each other for the first time in the IPL 2024.

Top Batsman Picks – DC vs KKR Dream11
- David Warner – Warner smashed a half-century in the last match at this venue and he will be a key batter for DC again. He is the leading run scorer of the team with 130 runs at a strike rate of 144.44. He has been part of the dream team in all three matches.
- Rishabh Pant – The DC captain played a brilliant knock of 51 off 32 deliveries to take team’s total to 191. He scored 85 fantasy points in the last match. We are expecting him to play another good knock at this ground.
- Phil Salt – Phil Salt was released by DC last year and roped in by KKR. He will have a lot of things to prove here against his former team. He looks in confident form and has scored 84 runs at a strike rate of 140.
Top Bowler Picks – DC vs KKR Dream11

- Harshit Rana – Harshit Rana is proving to be a match winner bowler for the KKR side. He has picked 5 wickets so far in 2 matches at a strike rate of 9.6. He was part of the dream team in both the matches.
- Andre Russell – Russell looks in good form this season. He has scored 64 runs at a strike rate of 256 and picked 4 wickets in 2 matches at an average of 13.5. His fantasy points in the last 2 matches were – 62 and 143.
Top Picks for Captain and Vice Captain – DC vs KKR Dream11
- Dream11 Captain Options – Andre Russell, Venkatesh Iyer
- Dream11 Vice Captain Options – David Warner, Mitchell Marsh
Players To Avoid – DC vs KKR Dream11
- Abishek Porel – Porel has not performed up to the mark in the last 2 matches. He was impressive in the first game but we are not seeing consistency in his performance now. We are not expecting a big score from him in this match and avoiding him for the fantasy teams.
- Varun Chakaravarthy – Varun has been a go-to spinner for KKR for the last few years. He has picked 1 wicket so far and has an economy of 12.50 in 2 matches. We are not expecting many wickets from him on this surface which favours the fast bowlers.
