For the final league fixture of the IPL 2026 season, KKR will take on DC at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The important fixture will be held on Sunday, May 24, at 7:30 PM IST.

For KKR, this game is about survival. Winning against DC will keep them alive in the playoff race only if Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings lose their next fixtures. 

However, for DC, the ship to the playoffs has already sailed. Hence, they will play for their pride and try to leave the painful campaign on a winning note.

KKR vs DC toss prediction

The toss could play a crucial role at Eden Gardens. While teams traditionally prefer chasing at the venue because of the quick outfield and batting-friendly conditions, the surface this season has also provided assistance to spinners as the match progresses. 

Since this is expected to be a day game with little dew impact, the captain winning the toss may choose to bat first and put runs on the board. A total of around 200 could prove highly competitive on a pitch that may slow down in the second innings.

KKR vs DC match winner prediction: Who will win the IPL 2026, Match 70?

Despite entering the game with playoff hopes hanging by a thread, KKR appeared slightly ahead of the Delhi Capitals. KKR will have the advantage of home conditions, strong crowd support, and better familiarity with the Eden Gardens surface.

However, Delhi Capitals remain dangerous with experienced match-winners like KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, and Axar Patel in their lineup. If Starc strikes early and DC’s middle order clicks, they could still pull off an upset.
