The Delhi Capitals hosted the Chennai Super Kings in their last match and won the toss and decided to bat. They got off to a great start with Shaw and Warner putting on 93 for the first wicket before Warner went for what would be a top score, 52 off 35 balls. Rishabh Pant also scored a 50 at a strike rate of 159 and the Capitals finished on 191 for 5 in their 20 overs.
They had the Chennai Super Kings in early trouble with two wickets before 10 runs were on the board and although the Super Kings consolidated, they were always behind the run rate and ended at 171 for 6 in their 20 overs with the Capitals winning by 20 runs.
The Capitals bowlers performed well and Khaleel Ahmed took 2 for 21 in his 4 overs, although had you backed Mukesh Kumar to be the top bowler for the Capitals you would have been successful thanks to his 3 for 21 in his 3 overs.
The Kolkata Knight Riders last match was away to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and they won the toss and decided to field first. The bowlers managed to keep the innings in check although Virat Kohli eventually led his side to a 182 for 6. As far as the KKR bowlers go, Andre Russell with his 2 for 49 off 4 overs was the pick and Harshit Rana was also impressive with his 2 for 39 also off 4 overs.
The Kolkata Knight Riders made short work of the chase getting the winning runs in the 17th over with only 3 wickets down. The top 4 batsmen all got amongst the runs with Venkatesh Iyer the top scorer with 50 at a strike rate of 166.

Delhi Capitals 11/10
Kolkata Knight Riders 8/10
Suggested Bet: Kolkata Knight Riders win at 8/10
The Kolkata Knight Riders were very impressive in their victory over RCB and I think they will be too strong for this Delhi Capitals side and will back them to win the match and go 3 from 3. Make sure you take not of the promo details under the banner above.
Suggested Bet: David Warner, Total Performance over 33.5 at 17/20
The Player Performance market is an interesting one and it gives the player 25 points for a stumping, 20 points for a wicket, 10 points for a catch and 1 point per run. I fancy that Warner might get the job done with runs alone and he is also a player who takes a lot of catches so if he does fall just short batting, we can hopefully collect profits in the field.
