Will Arun Jaitley Stadium Alter the Fate of KKR and Delhi Capitals Tonight?

Delhi Capitals (DC) will clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match 48 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Tuesday, April 29. The fixture will be hosted at DC's home stadium, Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Following a good beginning to the season, DC has seen a slump, losing three out of their last five games, which has come at a bad time. While they lost to RCB in their last outing over the weekend, there are a few positives to look out for: they have been competitive in their games and have won a couple.

KKR, on the other hand has been consistent with their batting but have let them down when their batsmen have not performed. A rain-abandoned game has denied them the opportunity to get into their rhythm, but the shorter boundaries at Kotla are a good chance for them to make the most of it.

While DC must still be in the running for the playoffs, a defeat to KKR might make their journey more difficult, particularly because they will have to win about eight games to make it. KKR, however, is more in need of this win.

The weather and the pitch will also have an impact on the match. The pitch of Arun Jaitley Stadium will tend to be drier and aid spinners. The team which wins the toss will definitely elect to bowl first, given dew may play its part in affecting the second innings. 180-200 would be par score for this ground.

According to Weather report, the temperature in Delhi is expected to be around 37 degrees Celsius at the start of the match, dropping to 33 degrees Celsius by the end. Humidity levels are predicted to range from 18% to 26% during the game, with a negligible chance of rain throughout.
