DC vs KKR Pitch Report: How will the surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium play for today's match?

Delhi Capitals would aim for an improved batting effort in the middle overs when they face a struggling Kolkata Knight Riders in their Indian Premier League match on Tuesday. DC have suffered two defeats in their last four matches, including a loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday, and will look to avoid any hiccups at the business end of the tournament.

With quality spinners in their ranks, KKR could pose a stiff challenge for the home. The Ajinkya Rahane led-side is slightly low on confidence after a tough outing against Punjab Kings in a rain-hit match.

DC's fielding has also left much to be desired against RCB, with Porel dropping a crucial catch of Krunal Pandya on Sunday night.


KKR, meanwhile, have managed just seven points so far and are placed seventh in the standings, having failed to collect any points from their last three matches, including two losses and a no-result.

DC vs KKR: Pitch Report
The pitch used for RCB’s previous match was two-paced, making for a challenging batting surface. It will be interesting to see what conditions await in this fixture. In recent games, the pitches at Kotla have been unpredictable — a stark contrast to the batting-friendly tracks seen last season.
