DC vs KKR Match Prediction & Analysis
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to face the Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 48 of IPL 2025 on April 29 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. DC has been in impressive form this season, securing six wins out of nine matches, placing them fourth in the points table with 12 points. In contrast, KKR has faced challenges this season, managing only three wins in nine games and currently sitting seventh with seven points.
DC played their last game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Batting first, DC scored 162 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. KL Rahul scored 41 runs off 39 deliveries. DC lost against the in-form Virat Kohli and out-of-the-box Krunal Pandya in the 19th over of the game by 6 wickets. Skipper Axar Patel took two wickets for 19.
KKR’s last game got washed out because of the rain. PBKS scored 201 runs for the loss of four wickets. Rain halted the game when KKR were at seven runs in the first over. Both teams shared a point each. KKR now has three losses and a win in the last five games. This includes their historical defeat against PBKS, where PBKS defended the lowest target.
In their last game against each other in the last season of the IPL, KKR managed to beat DC by 7 wickets. Batting first, Delhi scored 153 runs for the loss of nine wickets. Varun Chakravarthy picked up three wickets for 16 runs. KKR managed to chase the target with seven wickets in hand. Axar Patel took two wickets for 25. This was KKR’s second consecutive win against the Capitals.
Historically, KKR holds a slight edge over DC in head-to-head encounters, with 18 wins out of 34 matches. However, with DC's current form and home advantage, they will be keen to level the playing field.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Delhi Capitals Preview
DC will be eager to bounce back after a recent six-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Abhishek Porel will open the innings with Du Plessis. Porel has scored 253 runs at a strike rate above 150. Du Plessis is back in the squad after Fraser-McGruk failed to produce the start with Porel. Du Plessis has 103 runs in 4 games. Karun Nair will come at number three. After 88 runs against MI, Nair has scored just 41 runs in the next four games.
KL Rahul will be the batter to watch out for. Rahul has 364 runs in 8 innings at an average of 60 and a strike rate of 146. With three fifties and 16 sixes in 8 innings, it looks like the old KL Rahul is back. Skipper Axar Patel will come in the middle with Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Varma. Axar has 189 runs with the bat at a strike rate of 156. He has failed to impress with the ball. Verma has a strike rate of 175, scoring 138 runs in 6 innings. Stubbs has scored 217 runs at an average of 54 and has a strike rate of 164.
Mitchell Starc will lead the bowling attack with Kuldeep Yadav. Starc has 11 wickets in 9 games but is quite expensive with an economy of 10. Yadav will be the bowler to watch out for. Yadav has 12 wickets with an economy of 6.55- the lowest among the bowlers. Besides these two, Mukesh Kumar will have a huge task in the bowling unit. He has 9 wickets in 9 games.
Key Players: KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav.
DC Over/Under Betting Tips
The captain of Delhi Capitals has had an average season so far, where he has managed to score 189 runs in 8 matches, averaging 27. At Delhi in 3 matches he has accumulated 58 runs averaging 19 runs per match. On a tricky surface his contribution in the middle order will be vital and we back him to score over 16 runs against KKR.
KL Rahul has scored 94 runs in 3 matches at Delhi, averaging 31.33 this season. He scored 41 runs in the last match played at Arun Jaitely Stadium. Against KKR, Rahul has a good record (515 runs in 17 matches, averaging - 39.61). He will be key in today's match in handling the KKR spinners in the middle overs and we back him to come good and score over 30 runs.
Delhi Capitals Predicted Playing XI:
Faf du Plessis, Abishek Porel, Karun Nair, KL Rahul (wk), Axar Patel (c), Tristan Stubbs, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Dushmantha Chameera, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar.

Kolkata Knight Riders Preview
Things are not looking good for the current champions. They have just three wins in 9 games. Sunil Naraine will open the innings with Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Naraine has 151 runs at a strike rate of 175. He has also taken 7 wickets with the ball at an economy of 7.75. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane will come at number three. He is their leading run-scorer with 271 runs at a strike rate of 146.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi will come in the middle with Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, and Ramandeep Singh. Raghuvanshi has an average of 40 and has scored 197 runs. Rinku Singh has managed to score 133 runs in 7 innings. Russell has yet to explode with the bat this season. He has scored just 55 runs in 6 innings. With the ball, he has claimed 7 wickets. It will be interesting to see if KKR replaces him with Moeen Ali.
Varun Arora will lead the bowling attack with Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy. The trio has taken 11 wickets each in 9 games. Chakravarthy will be the bowler to watch out for. He has an economy of 6.85- the lowest among the bowlers.
Key Players: Ajinkya Rahane, Harshit Rana, Angkrish Raghuvanshi.
KKR Over/Under Betting Tips
The skipper of KKR has scored 271 runs in 9 matches and is the leading run-scorer for KKR this season. He is the only batter to consistently score 25-30 runs per match, while the other batters struggled in the top order. At Delhi in 10 matches, Rahane has 254 runs to his tally averaging 42.33. Given his current form, we back Rahane to score over 25 runs against DC.
Kolkata Knight Riders Predicted Playing XI:
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane (c), Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Moeen Ali, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh , Harshit Rana, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakaravarthy.

Toss: To Bowl

DC vs KKR
Winning Prediction
The defending Champions KKR have lost their track this season. The main reason is the lack of firepower in both the batting and bowling departments. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have shown a positive track. They had won their first four games. KL Rahul is back into his T20 boots scoring 380 runs.
We predict that Delhi Capitals will defeat Kolkata Knight Riders.
