Who will win today’s IPL match between DC vs KKR?
Delhi Capitals host Kolkata Knight Riders in Match No. 48 of the ongoing IPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday, April 29.
Match Overview
Delhi Capitals continue their ongoing IPL 2025 campaign by taking on Kolkata Knight Riders as both sides will face off at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, in the 48th game of IPL 2025 on Tuesday, April 29.
Delhi currently sit in fourth place in the standings with six wins and three losses. They will hope to register a win against KKR and move up in the IPL 2025 standings. The side is coming off a disappointing loss against RCB at their home ground. However, with the season moving at its fag end, it will be important that DC pull up their socks as two other teams are just behind them with almost a similar situation.
On the other hand, KKR have not picked up their form. With three wins, five losses, and a no-result fixture in nine games, the Kolkata-based side currently sits in seventh place in the standings, and they will hope to register their fourth win of the season. The Ajinkya Rahane-led side is in a must-win situation, and another defeat could be their potential exit.

Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report
The Delhi wicket has traditionally favoured batters, and the story has been similar this season too. However, in the previous game (DC vs RCB), Bengaluru skipper opted to bowl first, considering the wicket won’t change much as the match progresses. The surface remained slow throughout and the batters had to play smartly to score runs. Notably, the track is expected to pan out similarly, considering the upcoming game is taking place just 48 hours later. The team winning the toss will look to bowl first.

DC vs KKR Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter of the match:
KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane scored his last 50-plus score against the Gujarat Titans two games prior and has been in solid touch since the beginning of the season. In eight innings, the veteran batter has scored 271 runs at an average of 38.71 and a strike rate of 146.48, including three fifties. The defending champions, who are in a make-or-break game situation, Rahane will have to once again come forward and give his team another blistering start.
Probable Best Bowler of the match:
In 11 matches, the left-arm ace spinner Axar Patel has only managed to take three wickets. The DC skipper might not have picked as many wickets, but has been economical. Bringing himself into the powerplay against RCB, Axar bagged two wickets under the powerplay. With an effective arm-ball and the ability to vary his pace, the 31-year-old will be important for his side’s quest to record their seventh win of the season.
