For that to happen, KKR must defeat DC by 77 or more runs or chase down whatever Delhi post in 12.1 overs. Both scenarios are a tall ask and if KKR can’t do it, PBKS will qualify as the 4th team. Meanwhile, PBKS can also qualify if MI beat RR and DC defeat KKR which will lead to Kolkata ending the campaign on 13 points and PBKS on 15. However, in case of a RR win at Mumbai, all these permutations and combinations will be for naught as RR will go into the Eliminator against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

IPL 2026: KKR vs DC Playing 11, live toss and match time, streaming
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 on Sunday, May 24. 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.Also Read 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.

Three-time IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will look to keep their playoff hopes alive when they host Delhi Capitals (DC) in the final league-stage fixture of IPL 2026 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata today. However, KKR’s qualification fate is not entirely in their hands, as they need Rajasthan Royals to lose against Mumbai Indians earlier in the day to stay in contention. If RR manage a win, this clash will turn into a dead rubber. Despite that, KKR will still aim to finish their season strongly at home. The major setback for them is the absence of Angkrish Raghuvanshi, their standout batter this season, who has been ruled out due to a finger injury. Finn Allen and Rinku Singh remain crucial with the bat, while Sunil Narine and Kartik Tyagi have impressed with the ball. Delhi Capitals, meanwhile, are eyeing a strong finish. KL Rahul, Pathum Nissanka and Axar Patel have rediscovered form, but their bowling unit must improve for DC to end on a winning note. Now, before the two sides finally take the field, let’s take a look at the captaincy record of both skippers, their expected playing 11 combinations, and key player match-ups for the game.

Their campaign recovered strongly after an injury-hit start, with KKR winning six of their last seven matches to stay alive. However, they have suffered a major setback with leading run-scorer Angkrish Raghuvanshi ruled out. The young batter has been their most consistent performer, scoring 422 runs and five fifties this season. KKR are also likely to assess Varun Chakravarthy’s fitness before the game, especially depending on qualification permutations earlier in the day. The mystery spinner has struggled with a hairline fracture in his left foot. Sunil Narine, Cameron Green and skipper Ajinkya Rahane remain key players.
