Mumbai: The 41st match of IPL 2022 will be played on Thursday, April 28, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. This match is to be played between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders from 7:30 pm. Everyone is waiting for the clash of both the teams because Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer were once part of the same team.
Delhi Capitals are at 7th position with 3 wins from 7 matches, while Kolkata are at 8th position with 3 wins from 8 matches. In the first match of this season, Delhi had defeated Kolkata and the team will go with the intention of scoring 2-0 in the season.
David Warner and Prithvi Shaw are in good form in Delhi’s team. Both will still have the responsibility of getting Delhi off to a good start. Warner has so far hit three consecutive fifties while Prithvi has scored two half-centuries. Delhi’s middle order is not working. Captain Rishabh Pant will have to play a big innings in this match, while Rovman Powell and Lalit Yadav will have to finish the team match.
The Kolkata team has tried many pairs in the opening. Ajinkya Rahane, Aaron Finch, Venkatesh Iyer, Sunil Narine and Sam Billings have been tried by the team. For a better start, Kolkata will have to go with a stable pair. Skipper Shreyas Iyer has been showing better play in the middle order but he will expect better performances from fellow players Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh and Venstesh Iyer.

Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant, Rovman Powell, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman/Enrique Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed.
