Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face Delhi Capitals (DC) in a pivotal IPL 2026 match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata this Sunday evening. For the Capitals, this match holds little meaning as they have already been eliminated from playoff contention. Their exit came after Punjab Kings (PBKS) defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Saturday, sealing DC’s fate.
On the other hand, KKR enters this match with everything to play for. They must secure a victory and improve their run rate to surpass PBKS for the final playoff berth. This makes the stakes high for the Knight Riders.
