Strategy Outlook
For Delhi Capitals the strategy is usually simple and same as they had in previous match. Pant has been very aggressively in his batting and strategically very smart in his captaincy. The batting lineup of Capitals is phenomenal consist of Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Abishek Porel, Tristan Stubbs and many more. They have plenty of experience and skills in their hands. Rishabh should put its spinners bowling lineup as the pitch supports spinners more.
For Kolkata Knight Riders, the strategy is however the same. Knight Riders have better batting lineup even after the five holer which gives them an extra edge. Having better all-rounders also has an extra edge. If they choose to bats first then must put their aggressive batting lineup first it will give them the team an easy game at the end. But, if they have to bowl first then they must use their pacers and spinners first because in the second innings dew will have effect on seam of ball.

Pitch Report
The ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium helped spinners more, giving the ball a great turn. However, this is helpful for the early innings. The pitch has seen more winnings for the chasing team. So, if the team wins the toss they must have chosen to bowl first.
Conclusion
In the conclusion, we can say both the teams have good lineup but Delhi had already played their last match at ACA-VDCA. This will give them an advantage where they can plan their fielding and lineup as well. Kolkata has better batting lineup but if they want to change the fate of the match they should improve their bowling lineup.
