DC vs KKR IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals will have everything to play for as they take on three-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders in match no. 50 of the IPL 2026 season at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Friday. A win for Axar Patel’s DC will take them to 10 points – level with Chennai Super Kings and just a couple of points behind third-placed Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
But the task is easier said than done as DC have not managed to post a win against KKR since the IPL 2023 season, a record that they will be desperately trying to change. KKR are one point behind DC currently with 3 wins and one washed-out contest against Punjab Kings.
DC batter David Miler revealed that it was must-win scenario for the side from here on. “It is four from four. We pretty much need to win now. We have to win four from four to have a chance of qualifying, so it becomes really important,” Miller said in the pre-match press conference in New Delhi on Thursday.
“The pitches have been a bit different. I mean it is not impossible to play. I think we scored around 260, then there have been one or two low scores, so it has been a little bit different,” Miller said about the pitches at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
“But look, that is the nature of cricket. You are always having to adapt to the conditions and what lies in front of you. I think potentially chasing might be an option to see what total you have to score on a wicket that you are not too sure what it is going to do,” he added.
