The 48th match of IPL 2025 will be played between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Delhi had suffered a defeat against RCB in their last home game, so they will be eager to bounce back with a win. Meanwhile, KKR’s previous match against Punjab Kings was washed out due to rain, and both teams shared one point each. Both DC and KKR will step onto the field aiming for victory. Let’s find out how the pitch in Delhi is expected to behave.
