The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will play against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 41 of Indian Premier League 2021 on September 28 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
The Eoin Morgan-led side lost a close encounter against the Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. They put on 172 runs on the board batting first but failed to defend the score and lost on the final delivery of the match by 2 wickets.
Despite the loss, the Kolkata Knight Riders will be content with Sunil Narine and Dinesh Karthik’s performance. They are fourth on the points table and will be looking to consolidate their position further to qualify for the knockouts.
