Delhi Capitals (DC) will face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 48 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Tuesday (April 29) after suffering a setback at home against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) a couple of days ago.
Delhi Capitals look to regain consistency amid home struggles
In that match, DC failed to defend a modest total of 162 on a sluggish Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch, marking their second loss in three games. Once sitting comfortably at the top of the table, Delhi now find themselves teetering on the edge of the top four after nine matches, with six wins to their name. Both teams arrive at this contest carrying inconsistent form. Delhi began their campaign brightly, clinching four wins from their first six matches. However, their momentum has dipped recently, suffering three defeats in their last five games. A particular area of concern has been their home performance, managing just a single win from three outings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, a venue where they’ve historically thrived.
