Kolkata Knight Riders continue their ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024 campaign by taking on Delhi Capitals. Both sides will lock horns in the 47th game of the tournament at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday, April 29. Kolkata has been in brilliant form so far, currently sitting in second place in the standings, KKR has five wins in eight matches, and they will be keen on putting in another good showing against DC. 

On the other hand, after a subpar start to the season, Delhi Capitals have come into their own and are currently one of the best performers of the season. With five wins and five losses, DC sits in fifth place in the standings with 10 points and is well in the race for the playoffs.

The surface at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata is one that is preferred by the batters. The last game at the venue saw a target of 262 runs being chased down; yet another high-scoring encounter could be possible in the upcoming game. Opting to bowl first could be a wiser decision.
