Kolkata, May 6:
Supremely confident on home turf, defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders will look to continue their forward march when they face an inconsistent Delhi Daredevils in the IPL T20 cricket tournament at Eden Gardens, here tomorrow.
After their sixth loss last night, DD, who started the season with a lot of promise with big signings in Yuvraj Singh, Angelo Mathews and Zaheer Khan, face the prospect of an early elimination.
Slipping to the sixth spot with eight points, DD’s survival hopes appear bleak as they may have the onerous task to win all their remaining four matches to stay in contention for a last four berth.
KKR on the other hand are third in the table with 11 points from 10 matches. The Gautam Gambhir-led side has two more home matches left — DD and Kings XI Punjab on May 10 — and they would look to keep the momentum going to brighten their playoff hopes.
