DC vs KKR Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – IPL 2024 16th Match | DC vs KKR Dream11 Prediction Today | Visakhapatnam Pitch Report

Match 16 of IPL 2024 sees Delhi Capitals, fresh off a morale-boosting win over CSK, take on Kolkata Knight Riders, who have won two from two matches.

DC’s batting clicked against Ruturaj Gaikwad’s team on the weekend, with the opening duo of David Warner and Prithvi Shaw setting the tone nicely before Rishabh Pant hit a nice fifty. With the ball, Khaleel Ahmed wound back the clock, with Mukesh Kumar also producing the goods. Despite a late blitz from MS Dhoni, DC won easily and sent a reminder of the danger they possess.

KKR look solid and will surely be itching to get back in action as their last match was back on March 29. They swept RCB aside easily at the Chinnaswamy, with Sunil Narine also winding back the clock. There were runs also for the two Iyer’s – Venkatesh and Shreyas – in a promising display, with form for Mitchell Starc now on the agenda.

Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium Visakhapatnam Pitch Report and Weather

The Visakhapatnam track had some movement in it for the pacers in the DC-CSK match. The Delhi bowlers found more swing and movement than their CSK counterparts. KKR have the seamers to also make inroads into the top order. It then settled into a fine batting pitch.

A very warm and mostly clear evening is forecast.
