Three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be looking for a late entry into the IPL 2026 playoffs when they take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in the final league-stage match of the season at Eden Gardens in Kolkata today. KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and invited Axar Patel-led DC to bat first.
However, to do that they will have to hope that Rajasthan Royals (RR) lose their last game against Mumbai Indians (MI) earlier in the day.
If RR manage to secure a win over MI in the afternoon game, the KKR vs DC game will become a dead rubber.
On the other hand, DC will be looking to end their season on a high and secure a better finish in the points table.
In terms of team combination, KKR will have some trouble on their hands after their best batter of the season, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, was ruled out of the season due to a finger injury. Finn Allen and Rinku Singh are in good touch with the bat, while Kartik Tyagi and Sunil Narine have been exceptional with the ball. But the Kolkata-based franchise is still lacking an all-round team effort, something they will need to end their season on a high.

For DC, it is also their top order that is back in form, leading them to a brilliant late run in the tournament. The form of KL Rahul, Pathum Nissanka and Axar Patel has provided great support to them. However, their bowlers have lost rhythm just when the batters have found form.
DC will need both their batting and bowling departments to click at the same time if they wish to end their season with a win.
