In Match 48 of IPL 2025, held at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, KKR had to display genuine grit to secure a 14-run win over DC on April 29, 2025. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) scored 204/9, a total that Delhi Capitals (DC) could only chase down to 190/9 after a spirited attempt. Sunil Narine contributed significantly to KKR's cause with an all-around performance that gave him the Player of the Match award and enhanced KKR's playoff possibilities.

Kolkata Knight Riders Innings

KKR, electing to bat first, set a target of 205 runs, finishing at 204/9. Angkrish Raghuvanshi gave a steady start with 44 off 32 balls, while Rinku Singh kept the momentum going with an explosive 36 off 25 balls. Despite the fall of regular wickets, Narine added impetus with a quickfire 27 runs off 16 balls, injecting momentum despite regular wickets. Mitchell Starc (3/43) and Axar Patel (2/27) led with impressive contributions from Vipuraj Nigam (2/41) but ensured a fighting total on a batting-friendly Delhi pitch, or at least, KKR's last bits, including Andre Russell (15 off 8).

The DC managed a good fight but in the end got knocked out for 190 at the loss of 9 wickets, which made the distance separating them from victory just 14 runs. Faf du Plessis was the star with 62 off 45 balls, bringing DC into the game. There was also Axar Patel scoring 43 off 23 balls toward the end. Vipuraj Nigam added 38 off 19 balls at the tail end, but the middle order went crumbling under pressure. The hosts' bowlers Sunil Narine (3/29) and Varun Chakaravarthy (2/39) were ably supported by Vaibhav (1/19), restricting DC despite their effort on a high-scoring track.

DC vs KKR: Post Match Reactions

Andre Russell (KKR): Russell celebrates while on his birthday, saying, “Team members wanted to give this win as a cross to me because nothing beats a win as an awesome IPL gift!” He praised an over in which all things began to change rapidly following two wickets, of Warden and then of du Plessis: “Sunil, having one great over, instilled the momentum; the bowlers, with Russell taking yorkers and K. Chakaravarty's leg spin, bowled so well against Delhi, the new 15-to-20-run differential inflicted on us during the power play proven to be so heavily over."

Axar Patel (Delhi Capitals Captain): Feeling that they gave 15 or so more runs in the powerplay and misreading the final chase, Patel said, "Vipul came in and made 38 off 19, and I subsequently took up the 43 off 23 from there." As she had felt any close losses being painful this year, she sighed of needing a partnership to chase 205 on that surface.

Ajinkya Rahane (KKR Captain): Rahane, who had a mild knock he had seen toed into, was full of praise, saying, "I will be fine; Sunil bowled two good overs post-13 overs and removed Rahul Tewatia and Vipul." From the other side, he rued how he might probably have praised the top score of 204: "Very honestly, that was 15 runs short. In tight-spell-killing attacks, Russell's yorker-stuffed over and Anukul Roy were key on that track."

Sunil Narine (Player of the Match): Praising the team, he said, "Gurbaz's early 20s, Rahane's 30s, and Rinku's 36 set the tone." About his bowling effort, he said, I struggled early but backed myself to return, nailing key overs to dismiss du Plessis and Patel - happy to contribute!"

Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders: Match Scorecard

Kolkata Knight Riders – 204/9 (20 Overs)

Delhi Capitals – 190/9 (20 Overs)

In a gripping clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) secured a 4-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2025 Match 46 on April 27, 2025. Chasing 163 to win, RCB chased it down successfully in 18.3 overs with strong batting from Krunal Pandya, who was to score an impressive unbeaten 73 off 47 balls, whilst the DC batting was unable to handle the pressure. Let's look at the main causes of Delhi's defeat. 
 
For starters, DC could not put together a match-winning total of 162/8 as they could not get significant partnerships, despite starts for KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs, and poor bowling while dew was present at a time during the batting innings that impacted the game and allowed RCB's Krunal Pandya and Virat Kohli to dominate. RCB's batting had support from Kohli's 51 off 47 and a late flurry of runs from Tim David, who scored 19 off 5 balls, ensuring a steady rate of chase towards victory in an exciting match.

1. Insufficient Total on the Board

Delhi Capitals had a total of 162/8, but with the dew setting in during the second innings, 162 was an insufficient score. Axar Patel made comments after the match acknowledging they should've had another 10-15 runs, and it's true, RCB maybe didn't chase that target with ease, but with enough comfort that they had a comfortable 9 balls to spare at the end of the match.

2. Lack of Substantial Partnerships

Delhi Capitals had KL Rahul score a competitive 41 runs off 39 on his return to the lineup and made good starts with Tristan Stubbs, 34 runs off 18. The underlying issue was that DC players were unable to convert starts into significant partnerships, losing wickets at possible important times. In contrast, RCB made significant gains with a 100-run partnership off 81 deliveries from Krunal Pandya and Virat Kohli, thwarting the DC bowling efforts throughout the innings. 

3. Struggles with Bowling in Dew Conditions

The DC bowlers bowled alright in the first innings, but while they were able to hold down RCB in the first innings, the bowlers struggled to gain grip on the ball due to heavy dew in the second half of the match, and once the RCB batting group gained the ascendency, it became impossible because the RCB players, in particular, Krunal Pandya, belted the balls to the boundary very comfortably.

In Match 46 of the IPL 2025, Delhi Capitals (DC) faced off against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in a contest that showcased both batting prowess and tight bowling. With a prospect for playoff spots on the line, both teams delivered their best for an exciting clash for the fans. The victory went to RCB after chasing down a target of 163 with 4 wickets in 18.3 overs thanks to an unbeaten innings of 73 runs off 47 balls from Krunal Pandya.

Delhi Capitals Innings

The Delhi Capitals (DC) managed to post a respectable total of 162/8 at the conclusion of their innings. KL Rahul made a solid contribution of 41 runs off 39 balls to steady the innings. The middle order saw contributions from Tristan Stubbs, 34 runs off 18 balls, and Abishare Porel, 28 runs off 11 balls. However, the Royal Challengers Bangalore bowling attack performed well as Bhuvneshwar Kumar took 3/33 from 4 overs, and Josh Hazlewood collected 2/36, with Krunal Pandya supporting him with 1/28 on a small wicket that catered to bowlers.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Innings

In reply, Royal Challengers Bangalore chased 163 runs with four wickets remaining, ending with a score of 165/4 from 18.3 overs. Krunal Pandya was the player of the match with an unbeaten 73 runs off 47 balls, supported by a fluent 51 runs off 47 balls from Virat Kohli, before a late innings entry from Tim David, who ended with 19 runs off 20 balls. The DC bowlers will be happy that they managed to grab a few wickets, with Axar Patel taking 2/19 and Dushmantha Chameera 1/24. Vipraj Nigam ended not out on 0 runs from 12 balls, but the efforts from Pandya and Kohli got the job done.

DC vs RCB: Post Match Reactions

Krunal Pandya (POTM): Krunal was really excited about the win and said it was nice to see all of his hard work pay off. Krunal said he knew what his job was; if early wickets came, he had to build partnerships.  He said he spoke to Virat Kohli when he came out to bat during the chase and could not speak highly enough of him for helping him along. Krunal also mentioned how he improved his bowling this season, identifying how to change his pace and calculate the strengths of the batters. 

Rajat Patidar (RCB Captain): Patidar described it as a complete team performance and put a spotlight on the bowlers, which limited Capitals to 162. Patidar also said that it was a great honor to lead RCB and learn from so many experienced players.

Virat Kohli (Orange Cap Holder): Kohli praised the partnership with Krunal after they had been put under pressure when RCB lost early wickets at 25/3 and mentioned the importance of building partnerships in T20s. Kohli said you have to read situations carefully and build innings, which is key to today's game. He also thanked Tim David and Romario Shepherd for providing the explosive lower-order firepower that helped RCB and also credited the bowling unit, especially Josh Hazlewood and Krunal.

Axar Patel (DC Captain): Axar thought they were 10-15 runs short. He said that they had lost wickets early when batting was tough, and then once it got dewy, it eased conditions. He also explained that losing wickets while trying to accelerate hurt them, and the decision to send KL Rahul to bat at No. 4 was based on matchups and the shorter boundary.

DC vs MI: Weather and Pitch Report

Delhi anticipates warm weather on April 27, 2025, with temperatures forecasted from 28 to 33°C and humidity levels expected to be 40-50%. The weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy with dew likely in the second half of the match, which will help the second team batting. The pitch is likely to support batting, as the base wicket should recover much wider, which will provide consistent bounce and carry. Fast bowlers such as Mitchell Starc (DC) and Josh Hazlewood (RCB) should benefit from early seam movement, while spinners such as Kuldeep Yadav and Suyash Sharma may find turn in the middle overs.

DC vs MI: Match Preview

As the Delhi Capitals go into a massive contest against a tenacious RCB, Delhi is riding high, winning six of their last seven matches. Delhi has also recently beaten RCB by six wickets in the recent face-off, driven by KL Rahul, who scored an unbeaten 93 (avg 54.67, SR 153.99). Additionally, DC has Jake Fraser-McGurk (205 SR in the powerplay), Tristan Stubbs, and an improvement with Axar Patel's captaincy. Importantly, DC has ended their stiff competition with Kuldip Yadav (14 wickets, 6.00 econ.) with Mitchell Starc (9 wickets) combining for a dangerous attack, but add prodigy Vipraj Nigam, who should be on film soon.

RCB will put up a fight, however, with the advantage of being on the road (10.5 RPO), prompting the use of big hitters front and back. K.L. Rahul (392 runs, 144.11 SR) is likely to set the tone from the start of the innings (162 SR during the first 10 balls) while adding some explosive hitters (Phil Salt, Tim David, and Captain Rajat Patidar) around him. The death should also be exciting with Jitesh Sharma and Dinesh Karthik. On the bowling side, Josh Hazlewood (8 wickets, 53 dots) commands a solid pace but should receive some support with the experience of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and some much-needed stabilization from Yash Dayal. Overall, a match made in heaven!

The electrifying atmosphere at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday night had all the ingredients of a classic IPL showdown—high-octane cricket, passionate fans, and unexpected drama off the field. As Delhi Capitals (DC) edged out Rajasthan Royals (RR) in a thrilling Super Over, a separate incident in the stands grabbed attention when two fans were caught in a fiery verbal spat, which quickly went viral on social media.

The clip, though brief, showed the two male spectators locked in a heated shouting match during the game. While the exact cause of the argument wasn't captured, it was evident that tempers had flared in the heat of the moment. Stadium security acted swiftly to defuse the situation before it escalated further, ensuring that the rest of the spectators could enjoy the remainder of the match in peace.

This wasn’t the first instance of crowd trouble at the venue during IPL 2025. A similar altercation broke out during the Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians game earlier in the season. With the tournament reaching its mid-phase, the rising stakes and fan emotions appear to be spilling beyond the boundary lines.

Super Over Drama and a Starc Special

Whereas the off-field fight was given brief attention, it was on the field that it all came good. The match took a last-over finish, with both RR and DC scoring 188 in their innings. It was Mitchell Starc who made the difference, taking an enchanting final over before returning to bowl in the Super Over. Rajasthan Royals batted first in the Super Over, scoring 11 runs but losing two wickets. Delhi Capitals needed 12 and they did that in just four balls. KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs were calm, with Stubbs ending the match with a powerful six over midwicket.

Starc was rightfully given Player of the Match for his brilliant bowling, which included 1 for 8 in the 20th over and pressure balls in the tie-breaker. Meanwhile, Rajasthan's fifth loss in seven games puts their playoff hopes on a thread. Captain Sanju Samson's on-field injury added to their woes. The crowd may have had its moment of passion, but the cricket more than made up for it, reminding everyone why IPL evenings are always full of surprises.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season has been a spectacle both on and off the field, with stadiums buzzing with electric energy and passionate fans fueling the excitement.

DC vs MI: Weather and Pitch Report

Fans will benefit from excellent cricket weather coming from Delhi, as the region is expected to experience temperatures between 26 and 30°C under completely dry conditions. The match area will extend without interruptions because moderate dampness affects athlete stamina. Early in the match the Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch allows batters to capitalize through its short boundaries while offering even bounce. The pitch growth gradually slows down, which makes it a favorable contest for spinners to step into play. The game should result in a high-scoring encounter, with 180-200 representing an average score.

DC vs MI: Match Preview

Under the captaincy of Axar Patel, Delhi Capitals plans to execute their strategy by using their home stadium advantage. The batting line-up of Delhi Capitals strengthens through the match experience of KL Rahul combined with the explosive batting talent of Jake Fraser-McGurk. Their solid middle batting group, enhanced by their all-rounder and spinner line-up, becomes more dangerous when playing on familiar fields.

The Rajasthan Royals, under the leadership of their composed captain, Sanju Samson, bring powerful opposition to the field. Jofra Archer's blazing pace creates havoc with his deliveries, yet Wanindu Hasaranga serves as the middle overs spin specialist for Rajasthan Royals. The batting strength of Yashasvi Jaiswal combined with Riyan Parag's renewed form gives Rajasthan Royals the capability to fight against Delhi Capitals' dominant spin bowlers.

The matchup promises intense competition because both sides possess equally impressive teams and strength in their batting and bowling departments. Whether RR or DC dominates the match will depend on their capability to perform under pressure with the spinners.

Match 32 of IPL 2025 will take place on April 15, 2025. Delhi Capitals (DC) meet Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The history of matches between DC and RR teams showcases exciting contests that generate elevated scores. The most recent seasons have shown Rajasthan Royals assume a marginal advantage over the head-to-head despite equal match wins between the two teams.

DL vs MI: Weather and Pitch Report

Delhi’s weather on April 13, 2025, is expected to be warm and clear, with evening temperatures around 22-26°C, moderate humidity, and a 41% chance of rain, ensuring uninterrupted play.
