Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will look to bounce back from a demoralising defeat when they host a confident Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 47 on IPL 2024 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday (April 29).
Both teams are fresh from high-scoring contests as Shreyas Iyer-led KKR head into the match on the back of a thumping 8-wicket loss to Punjab Kings at home, while DC led by Rishabh Pant registered a 10-run victory over Mumbai Indians.

In their most recent outing, KKR rode on seventy plus knocks from openers Sunil Narine and Phil Salt to post 261, but failed to defend the total as Jonny Bairstow scored an unbeaten century and shared a match-winning stand with Shashank Singh to pull off the highest T20 run chase.
Fifth-placed DC, on the other hand, rode on a quickfire 84 from Jake Fraser-McGurk to post 257 before Rasikh Dhar’s spell proved crucial in restricting MI to 247 in their allotted 20 overs.
Now, DC will look to extend their winning streak when they lock horns with KKR for the 33rd time in IPL history and for the tenth time at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Here is a look at the KKR vs DC head to head records and stats:
