Action in the 48th match of IPL 2025 brought KKR to face DC in a competition held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The victory made KKR survive in playoff contention by moving ahead of bottom three teams on the points table.

First Innings: KKR Batting

The first KKR batting performance resulted in a 204/9 run score in twenty overs. Angkrish Raghuvanshi scored 44 runs, which turned out to be the top batting score of the inning, followed by Rinku Singh, who contributed 36 runs. Wickets kept dropping throughout the innings, yet KKR players maintained an appropriate scoring pace.

DC reached excellence through Mitchell Starc’s bowling performance as he claimed three crucial wickets which limited the KKR batting score to under 210. In a wobbly start to the match Axar Patel who captained DC made the choice to start with the ball yet this proved neutral afterwards.

Second Innings: DC Batting

DC started their chase from 205 sluggishly because Anukul Roy removed Abishek Porel in the opening over. The opposition quickly removed Karun Nair followed by KL Rahul in the early part of the innings.

Despite holding his left hand due to an injury Axar Patel formed an effective partnership with Faf du Plessis to bring DC back into a competitive position during the match. DC’s prospects improved as the duo maintained control until Sunil Narine introduced a turning point in the game. During a transformative over Narine performed a magical dismissal of Axar Patel followed by Faf du Plessis and Tristan Stubbs thus transforming the entire match in favor of KKR.

The late aggressive batting display from Vipraj was not sufficient to pull DC to victory because they missed the target mark.
