IPL 2020: KKR vs DC head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know before Match 42

After an embarrassing defeat against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, the Kolkata Knight Riders will battle the Delhi Capitals in their eleventh game of IPL 2020.

The Eoin Morgan-led franchise have won five of their ten matches this season so far, and they can secure themselves a place in the top 4 by winning their last four fixtures.

But given how KKR performed against RCB, it seems unlikely that they can overcome the challenge that DC pose. The Capitals are in excellent form with seven victories in ten matches, and they defeated the 2-time champions earlier in IPL 2020 fairly comfortably.

However, DC's batting department needs to fire in unison. Of late, only Shikhar Dhawan has scored runs for the team, and the likes of Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw, and Rishabh Pant will look to get back to form ahead of the playoffs.

KKR and DC have been integral parts of the IPL since 2008, and here's a look at their head-to-head stats.
