IPL 2025: Match 48, DC vs KKR Cricket Match Prediction - Who will win today's match between DC vs KKR of IPL 2025?

Kolkata Knight Rider (KKR) will look to bounce back as they face a strong Delhi Capitals (DC) side on April 29th, hoping to reignite their campaign with a crucial win. The match will take place at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. 

 

Delhi Capitals

 

Delhi Capitals will be looking to bounce back after a tough loss against RCB (Royal Challengers Bangalore) in their last outing. Despite putting up 162 runs on the board in their 20 overs, they couldn't defend the total, with RCB chasing it down comfortably and handing them a 6-wicket defeat. Currently sitting at 3rd place on the points table with 6 wins from 9 games, Delhi will be hungry to get back to winning ways and push for the top spot with a victory today.

 

Kolkata Knight Riders

 

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are heading into today's match against Delhi Capitals after their previous game against Punjab Kings was abandoned due to rain. In that match, Punjab Kings posted a formidable total of 201/4, but persistent showers at Eden Gardens halted KKR's chase at just 7/0 in 1 over, leading to a no-result and both teams sharing a point .
Currently, KKR find themselves in a challenging position, sitting at 7th place on the IPL 2025 points table with 3 wins, 5 losses, and 1 no-result from 9 matches, accumulating a total of 7 points . With the playoff race intensifying, every match becomes crucial for KKR to climb the standings.
