The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) face a high-stakes finale in the IPL 2026 group stage as they prepare to take on the Delhi Capitals (DC) in a must-win encounter on Sunday. With the playoffs qualification hanging in the balance, KKR’s campaign could pivot entirely on the outcome of this match, which will determine their position in the top four.
Going into the final matchday, KKR currently sit fifth on the points table with 12 points from 13 games, trailing fourth-placed Punjab Kings by just one point. A victory against DC would not only boost their net run rate but also potentially secure their playoff berth if other results go in their favour. However, the Capitals, sitting sixth with 11 points, are equally desperate to bounce back after a string of inconsistent performances.
