The Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) engaged in a fierce battle in the 48th IPL 2025 match, which took place on April 29 at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium. In a crucial match, KKR prevailed by 14 runs, preserving their hopes of making the playoffs. Sunil Narine, who was rightfully named Player of the Match for his all-around genius after taking three wickets for 29 runs in his 4-over spell and scoring a quick 27 off 16 balls, put on the most impressive display.
KKR scored a respectable 204 for 9 in their 20 overs while batting first. They had a great start, scoring 79 runs in the powerplay and taking just one wicket. Despite a minor slowdown in the middle overs, late-order hitting enabled them to surpass 200 runs. In response, DC lost important wickets during the powerplay and had trouble getting going early. With a solid partnership, Faf du Plessis and Axar Patel tried to steady the innings, but Sunil Narine's middle-overs bowling spell turned the tide in KKR's favor.
DC ultimately lost by 14 runs, finishing at 190 for 9 in their 20 overs. While KKR celebrated a crucial victory, DC's playoff hopes suffered a significant blow with this loss. In addition to Narine, KKR was able to sustain pressure throughout the innings thanks to early breakthroughs from Anukul Roy's bowling.
