Seventh in the table and running out of time, Delhi Capitals need Ngidi, Miller and Stubbs to deliver against a Kolkata Knight Riders side that has found form at exactly the right moment.
Delhi have four wins from ten matches. KKR arrive on the back of three consecutive wins, with Narine and Chakravarthy forming a spin partnership that has caused problems across the competition.

Lungi Ngidi has returned after a concussion and is expected to open the bowling alongside Mitchell Starc. Before his injury he had taken 7 wickets with best figures of 3/17.
Tristan Stubbs has been DC’s most consistent middle-order option, scoring 196 runs from six innings including knocks of 39* and 60*.
David Miller remains in the squad and could provide the finishing power DC have lacked in close situations.
Without all three firing, Delhi’s playoff hopes look increasingly fragile.
