Online cricket betting: Who Will Win today match?

KOL vs DC Head to Head: There is not much between the two sides as KKR have won 14 and DC have won 12 times.

Win Prediction

KOL – 40%
DC – 60%

Delhi have more or less qualified for the playoffs and KKR have more on the line today. Both have won two games in the UAE leg and have winning momentum on their side. KKR, however, will be missing the services of Andre Russell who has a hamstring issue. This shifts the balance slightly in DC’s favour. The betting sites seem to favour the Delhi Capitals.

Betting Odds:

Bet365: KOL: 2.10; DC: 1.72

KOL vs DC Dream11 Prediction

Shakib Al Hasan should replace Andre Russell in the side. He had a good series with the ball versus New Zealand recently. He is no muck with the bat either and should be playing in the middle order. Overall, he has 784 runs and 61 wickets in 66 games.

Prithvi Shaw has been devastating in the powerplay overs. He could make good use of the short boundaries on offer. He has 329 runs in 10 innings at a striker rate of 160.

Anrich Nortje has bowled the top eight fastest balls in this year’s IPL. Nobody can match his pace. He is consistently ticking the wickets column. He has 4 wickets in two games at an economy of just 3.75.

KOL Playing XI

Shubman Gill, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi, Eoin Morgan (C), Dinesh Karthik (WK), Shakib Al Hasan, Sunil Narine, Lockie Ferguson, Varun Chakravarthy, Prasidh Krishna.

Sharjah Weather Report

It is going to be a tough day ahead at Sharjah for both teams due to the weather elements. With clear skies and the sun bearing down relentlessly, the temperature during the start of the match shall be 37 degrees Celsius and due to light wind and slightly higher humidity levels as compared to previous matches, it is going to feel like 44-45 degrees Celsius. It will cool down by two or three degrees as the sun goes down but by then the team fielding first would require a lot of hydration to keep fit and motivated for their batting effort.
