Delhi up For another Even Contest against Kolkata

              Kolkata once again couldn't break the code of Mumbai, as they lost to them for the second time in this season. But  the visitors decoded Delhi with ease at Kolkata and now will look to apply the same against confident hosts on Saturday.
             Delhi might be recovering from the 1-run loss to Gujarat, but they got some positives to over look at it in terms of match winning innings from Morris. Although Indian crop batsmen yet to address their consistency along side Dekock and Duminy.
               While Zaheer becoming expensive with the new ball, which turning them to rely more on to spinners for wickets in middle overs. While they are pulling things back at the death but couldn't stop batsmen in the powerplay.
                Meanwhile Kolkata only lost to Mumbai on both the occasion's and this time around they lacked a fire powered Innings like Pollard. Eventhough the visitors believe they have it in the team and playing at Delhi could ideally suit them in terms of Bowling.
               Opening stand is where Kolkata doing it consistently and with a bit more help from the middle order batsmen will destruct any side in the competition. While they heavily dependent on spinners with the conditions and quality in the pace attack.
              The pitch at Kotla produced run fest in the last few games and may also help spinners more in the second Innings. So with 4pm start there won't be any worries for spinners with the dew factor.
               This match also lies in an even contest between the evenly matched sides, as lot depends on the Indian crop batsmen facing Kolkata's spin attack.
