The southpaw, after initial struggles, scored a 32-ball 51.His return to form augurs well for their fortunes. <br \/>Capitals would also be pleased with the way <!-- -->Prithvi Shaw<!-- -->, who made the XI after being benched for two games, came good. David Warner (52 off 35b) and Shaw (43 off 27b) provided Capitals a great platform with a 93-run opening stand that helped them post 191\/5. But <!-- -->Mitchell Marsh<!-- --> is yet to make a significant contribution. Delhi hope he finds form soon. <br \/>In the bowling department, <!-- -->Khaleel Ahmed<!-- --> returned with a Player of the Match performance with 2\/21 in his four overs. His wickets of openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra meant the Super Kings struggled in their chase. Mukesh Kumar too impressed while Axar Patel and Ishant Sharma played the support roles well. South African speedster <!-- -->Anrich Nortje<!-- --> still looked a touch rusty but Delhi know they have a gamechanger in the South African. <br \/>The Knight Riders are also brimming with confidence after their victories over Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. While they rode on <!-- -->Andre Russell<!-- -->\u2019s 25-ball 64-run blitzkrieg and Phil Salt\u2019s 54 to pull off a four-run win over 2016 champions Sunrisers, their top-order, consisting of <!-- -->Sunil Narine<!-- --> (47), Venkatesh Iyer (50) and captain Shreyas Iyer (39*) \u2014 all found their touch against RCB. The way they chased down the target of 183 with consummate ease \u2014 in 16.5 overs with seven wickets in hand \u2014 gave a glimpse of their batting power. <br \/>With the likes of Mitchell Starc, Harshit Rana, Russell and Narine in the bowling department, Knight Riders look a good all round unit. <br \/>In head-to-head record, both teams are evenly matched with Knight Riders winning 16 times to Capitals\u2019 15 in 32 matches. An exciting clash is on the cards in the Port City.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n          var s = document.createElement('script');\n          s.src=\"https:\/\/survey.survicate.com\/workspaces\/0be6ae9845d14a7c8ff08a7a00bd9b21\/web_surveys.js\";\n          s.async = true;\n          var e = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];\n          e.parentNode.insertBefore(s, e);\n        })(window);\n      }\n    }\n    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) {\n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) {\n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n        loadSurvicateJs(f.toiplus_site_settings.allowedSurvicateSections);\n      } else {\n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/vsp1jarvispvt.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config){\n          if (config) {\n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);\n            loadSurvicateJs(config?.allowedSurvicateSections);\n          }\n        })\n      }\n    };\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VISAKHAPATNAM: Buoyed by their first victory of the season, a 20-run win over Chennai Super Kings on Sunday, Delhi Capitals look to build on the momentum when they host Kolkata Knight Riders at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
