New Delhi: The qualifier-2 of the IPL-14 will clash with Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Sharjah on Wednesday.

Kolkata is confident after beating Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the eliminator on Monday, while Delhi suffered a setback against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in qualifier-1.
