DC vs KKR, IPL 2024: Dream11 Predictions for the 16th Match [iplt20.com]

The Delhi Capitals (DC) will play the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 16th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). The match will take place on April 3rd at 7:30 PM IST at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam. 

Ahead of the game, here is a look at the Dream11 prediction, fantasy tips, pitch report, the top player picks, and the best-predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match. 

DC vs KKR Head-to-head Stats

The Delhi Capitals and the Kolkata Knight Riders have played 33 games against each other. The two teams shared the spoils as both won 16 games each, with one match ending with no result. 

It turned out to be a low-scoring affair when these two teams met the last time in IPL 2023 at the Arun Jaitley stadium in New Delhi. KKR batted first in the game and, courtesy of Mukesh Kumar, was restricted to a moderate total of 127. The chase for the Capitals was led by David Warner, who scored 57 off 41 and laid a solid foundation for the team's four-wicket win in the last over. 

Both teams have winning momentum. They will be eager to win this game and solidify their start to the campaign even more. DC and KKR have had close fights in the league over the years, and it is expected to be another close game between the two teams.

DC vs KKR Pitch Report

The pitch at the Visakhapatnam stadium has seen one game in the tournament. It looked like a good wicket where runs were there for the batters to be scored. In the case of the bowlers, who can use their yorkers and slowers with cleverness, could do well on this track. 

Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium Ground Stats (IPL 2024)

Matches: 1
Matches won batting first: 1
Matches won batting second: 0

Average first innings total: 191
Average second innings total: 171
Highest total recorded: 191/5 by Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings
Lowest total recorded: 171/6 by Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals

• Fantasy value from the pitch report
• The most crucial phase of the game should be the powerplay when the new ball is in play. In the first innings, the batters might get away with some shots and get the team off to a good start. So, the top-order batters from the team batting first might be good options for the fantasy contests of the match. 
• In the previous game, we saw that seamers got a lot of help from the wicket in the second innings. The top-order batters from the second innings could be a risky choice. While, the new ball bowlers from the defending the target will be good picks.

DC vs KKR Fantasy Cricket Tips

Delhi Capitals Heavy Fantasy XI

• The DC batting line-up looked solid in the game against CSK. The top-order fired, and the trio of David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, and Rishabh Pant will again be important for the team's batting effort. 
• The bowling attack looked good, with players like Khaleel Ahmed and Mukesh Kumar performing well. The Capitals hope that one of their main bowlers, Kuldeep Yadav, will come to the party in this game. 
• Mitchell Marsh has looked off-colour in the tournament so far. He has failed to deliver on either of his trades. Marsh is due for performance and could be a decisive choice for the fantasy contests of the match. 

Kolkata Knight Riders Heavy Fantasy XI

• Sunil Narine has been a surprise package as a batter in the tournament. However, he is not a regular batter, and inconsistency could be an issue with him, making him a risky choice for the fantasy contests of the match. 
• Barring Narine, batters like Phil Salt, Venkatesh Iyer, and Shreyas Iyer could also influence the team's batting effort. 
• Harshit Rana has been in excellent wicket-taking form in the tournament and will be a prime choice for the fantasy contests of the match. Barring Rana, the still off-rhythm Mitchell Starc could be a decisive choice. 

DC vs KKR Winner Prediction

The Kolkata Knight Riders have been on song and looked solid in the tournament. However, the Capitals adjusted well to the Vizag wicket and could emerge as the winners from this game.

DC vs KKR Differential Picks

Rishabh Pant (DC)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 97 Runs in 3 Matches
• The Indian star had a moderate start to the tournament. But in the game against CSK, Pant regained a bit of her old touch. However, Pant's long absence from the game can interfere with his flow, making him a differential choice. 

Andre Russell (KKR)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 64 Runs and 4 Wickets in 2 Matches
• The West Indian all-rounder has started the tournament with a bang. In the two games, Russell has either delivered with the bat or the ball.
