IPL 2025: Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report & Stats Ahead of DC vs KKR Match

Delhi Capitals (DC) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 48 of the IPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on April 29. As the business end of the tournament approaches, both teams will be eager to strengthen their positions on the points table in what promises to be a thrilling evening encounter.

The Arun Jaitley Stadium has traditionally been a venue where chasing has offered a slight advantage, with teams batting second winning 46 out of 93 matches. The average first-innings score here stands at 172, and the ground is known for both high-scoring contests and games where bowlers, especially spinners, play a decisive role. In the previous game at this venue, the surface was drier, assisting spinners particularly in the first innings.

With dew expected to influence proceedings later in the evening, teams winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first. A target in the range of 190-200 would be seen as highly competitive, given how challenging it could get for bowlers under lights once the dew sets in.

Considering their recent form and familiarity with the slow nature of the Delhi pitch, the Delhi Capitals might enjoy a slight edge. However, Kolkata Knight Riders, with their aggressive batting unit and quality spin options, have the firepower to match and even outplay DC if they adapt quickly to the conditions.
