IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals, match 19
The Kolkata Knight Riders will face the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2022 Match 19 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. Kolkata is coming off a thrashing of the Mumbai Indians in their previous match, thanks to Pat Cummins' excellent batting performance. The Shreyas Iyer-led side now leads the points table with three wins in four games, and the one cause of concern for them will be the ailing top order.
The Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, are coming off two straight losses in their past two games after a winning start to the season, and are now in seventh place in the points table with only two points. In the past game, David Warner and Anrich Nortje returned to the lineup, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference because they appeared entirely out of place. Mitchell Marsh, on the other hand, will provide their batting and bowling departments a lot more depth.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals, 19th match of IPL 2022
Date & time: 10th April, 2022, 3:30PM IST
Venue: Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai
Pitch report
Gujarat Titans scored a massive run chase in the previous game at Brabourne Stadium, and the pitch has been great for batting thus far. The captains may be persuaded to bat first because the dew effect is unlikely to affect the day game. They are expected to bowl first, as this has been the norm throughout the tournament, with many high scores being chased down.
If the toss is won, the winning team will prefer to bat first. This could be one of the few exceptions to the current IPL 2022 pattern, in which chasing has been the rule.
