For Kolkata their biggest worry is the top order who have not performed consistently in the previous games, however, their lower-middle order has always managed to rescue the team from scary situations.

With 9 wickets in 4 games, Umesh Yadav has apparently led the bowling charge for his team, with an in-form Pat Cummins back in the side, the team will look to hand Delhi their 3rd loss on the trot.

On the other hand, are Delhi who have been struggling immensely have star players like David Warner and Anrich Nortje. While the top order has failed to capitalize on the start, their middle-order, too has issues. However, Prithwi Shaw who performed well in the previous game, would look to keep his form going.
