DC vs Kkr match preview
Delhi Capitals, led by Astute Axar Patel, was a force to consider in IPL 2025, and ranked fourth at the score table with six wins from nine games. Despite the last six small door loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), DC’s campaign was intact. Faf du Plessis will aim to be in DC playoffs with players such as Kl Rahul, Abishek Porel and Kuleep Yadav.
They had an inconsistent campaign by Kilkata Knight Riders, the defense champions. Although they were still alive in the race, he won only three matches out of nine games. The last matches against Punjab kings ended with a sincere result because of the rain and was a shocking loss when chasing 112 against the same team. Captain Ajinkya Rahane is in good condition. However, KKR’s inconsistent performances and relying on players such as Andre Russell and Sunil Narine makes it a game that must win to keep playoff hopes alive.
Arun Jaitley Stadium Field Report
Arun Jaitley Stadium has traditionally been a stroke paradise with a hard surface that prefers short limits and high scores. However, in IPL 2025, the curtain showed signs of wear, which offers return and conception for the yarns in the last stages. The average inning score of this season is around 180-190 and the teams first have a light edge. It is unlikely that Dew will play an important role due to low moisture, which makes it less decisive.

DC vs Kkr match estimation
Delhi Capitals enters this match due to superior forms and home advantages. The Bowling attacks led by Kuleep Yadav and Mitchell Starc are very suitable for taking advantage of spin -friendly conditions at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Despite the moderate concerns of DC, the top row was consistent, and players such as Abishek Porel and Axar Patel are likely to benefit from the inconsistent bowling of KKR.
However, KKR cannot be underestimated. Ajinkya Rahane’s form (271 146.48 strikes) and Andre Russell and Sunil Narine’s explosion of explosion can in favor. Nevertheless, recent strokes collapse against Punjab kings and extreme dependence on key players makes them vulnerable against the DC’s disciplined attack.
Earn Probability:
- Delhi Capitals: 60%
- Knight Rits: 40%
Estimated result: Delhi capitals are likely to win with 15-20 jogging or 6 small doors, Kuleep Yadav and Axar Patel play a very important role. However, if the top of the KKR burns, they can make a competition.
