The 48th match of the ongoing IPL 2025 will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals. Both teams have played nine games each with the Capitals winning six while the defending champions managing three wins. The Knight Riders’ last game ended as No Result against Punjab Kings. On the other hand, the Capitals lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore in the reverse fixture last weekend.
A win for both teams is important as the three-time winners will remain alive for the playoffs race while the Capitals will move closer. The behavior of the wicket at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, referring to the DC vs RCB game, will be suitable for Kolkata although they have not won games on the same wicket at home. Expect the 2020 finalists to push hard for the playoffs spot.
