There isn’t much separating the two teams that face off here on Friday. Host Delhi Capitals, still reeling from the thrashing in their previous match against Chennai Super Kings, are currently ranked seventh in the points table with four wins and six losses from 10 matches and eight points in the kitty. Their opponents Kolkata Knight Riders are placed eighth, having played one match less, with three wins, five losses and one no result and seven points in the bag. Both teams, however, need to win their remaining four and five matches respectively to make it to the Playoffs.
