Both Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders have hopes of winning the IPL 2021 crown and will be aiming to book a place in the finals against Chennai Super Kings. DC lost to the three-time champions in the first playoff match and will hope to make it to the finals and win the trophy of this year's edition of the IPL. I have picked the best team and player bets for the DC vs KKR match predictions.

DC vs KKR Team Bets:

This team bet looks like a very lucrative opportunity to make some money and therefore I decided to tread on this particular path for this match. Let’s have a look at the DC vs KKR team bet.

DC to win

Delhi Capitals have been fantastic this season of the IPL 2021. They finished at the top of the table with 10 wins while losing just 4 games in the 14 matches they have played so far. They unfortunately succumbed to defeat against the defending champions, Chennai Super Kings who won the match by 4 wickets. On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders finished fourth in the table standings and managed to secure 7 wins and lost the other 7 games. KKR fought until the last and bagged the victory against RCB in the eliminator to enter the Qualifier 2 against DC on October 13. The sides went twice in the tournament and split the wins. The first clash between the sides was won by the Capitals by 7 wickets with 21 balls remaining but the second match went in favour of KKR who won it narrowly by 3 wickets. The real weight in this betting tip falls because of the fantastic performances and current forms of the DC players. Shikhar Dhawan is third highest scorer from DC with 551 runs and a fantastic average of 39.35. Whereas Avesh Khan shined in the bowling department with 23 wickets in the tournament and sit second in the highest wicket takers in the league. DC are expected to win this affair comfortably and go into the finals. Dafabet offers the odds of 1.96 for a DC win and it is the best team bet in the market right now.

DC vs KKR Player Bets:

I have chosen all the three players to score above the desired target. Let us have a look at them.

Rishabh Pant to score over 20.5 runs

The Delhi Capitals captain, Rishabh Pant has led the team to nine victories in the competition with both bat and his gloves. Pant has played 29 T20I innings with an average of 21.33. His average has significantly improved playing at home conditions in the same format. He has amassed 3457 runs in his 124 T2O innings with an average of 32.92 and exceeds our target by a good margin.

Rishabh Pant has played 15 matches this season where he has scored a total of 413 runs with an average of 37.54 and is in an incredible form, especially after the pandemic break. He successfully scored above 19 runs in eight of his IPL 2021 innings including three fantastic 50s. Let's talk about his current explosive form. His recent strikes- 35* (vs SRH), 24 (vs RR), 39 (vs KKR), 26 runs(vs MI), 15 (vs CSK), 10 (vs RCB) and a fantastic knock of 51 runs from his previous match (vs CSK). All these facts evidently support the betting tip quite strongly and hence looks like a pretty lucrative bet to miss out on. Dafabet offers the odds of 1.87 for Rishabh Pant to score over 20.5 runs and it is a safe bet to make.

Shikhar Dhawan to score over 23.5 runs

Shikhar Dhawan is an Indian international cricketer and a former limited-overs captain. A left-handed opening batsman and an occasional right-arm off break bowler, he plays for Delhi in first-class cricket and Delhi Capitals in the IPL.

Dhawan has displayed pure class of cricket batting for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2021. Dhawan’s career average is phenomenal in other formats but lacking in 20 over formats. He amassed 1759 runs in 66 T20I innings with an average of 27.92. However he changed things around in this season of the IPL and managed to gather a total of 551 runs in 15 matches with an average of 39.35. He started his IPL 2021 campaign with a spectacular knock of 85 runs (vs CSK) followed by his highest score of 92 runs against PBKS. Dhawan has chipped in the maximum number of runs for the teams and is also the third in the leaderboard of top scorers in the tournament. Dhawan managed to score above 23 runs ten out of the fifteen IPL innings. This entails almost 67% efficiency of him scoring above our desired target. With all facts concluded, Shikhar Dhawan is more likely to score above 23.5 runs and Dafabet offers the odds of 1.87 for the same.
