Mumbai, April 9: Confident Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face downbeat Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 19 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday (April 10).

Shreyas Iyer-led KKR has won three and lost 1 match so far this season. KKR opened their campaign with a victory over defending champions Chennai Super Kings, but lost the very next match against Royal Challengers Bangalore in a low-scoring thriller.

Since the defeat to RCB, the two-time champions KKR have secured back-to-back wins over Punjab Kings and most recently in a record-breaking night against record champions Mumbai Indians. KKR chased down the scores in quick time in both the matches.

Rishabh Pant-led DC, meanwhile, opened their campaign with an impressive win over MI, but suffered back-to-back defeats against new entrants Gujarat Titans and most recently against Lucknow Super Giants, failing to defend the score both times.

Now, KKR will look to hand DC a hat-trick of losses when the two teams clash at the Brabourne Stadium, a venue where both teams don't have a great record. But DC have already registered a win.
