Delhi Capitals will play Kolkata Knight Riders in match No.48 of IPL 2025 - here are the Betfair odds for the DC vs KKR game.

DC are fourth on the points table with six wins from nine matches, while KKR sit seventh with just three wins and a shared point from their washout against PBKS.

Despite DC appearing as one of the most consistent teams this season compared to KKR’s middling campaign, there are caveats. After a flying start with four consecutive wins, their fortunes dipped sharply upon returning to Delhi. At their home venue, they’ve lost two of three matches, with their sole victory coming in a tense Super Over finish.

Which players could star in the DC vs KKR clash?

After missing DC’s opener, KL Rahul scored 185 runs in his first three matches, averaging 92.50 at a strike rate of 169.72. However, his form dipped in Delhi, where his highest score so far is just 41. With the tournament now at the midway stage, Rahul’s return to form is directly proportional to DC’s chances of reviving their winning momentum – a fact reflected in his Betfair odds (10/1) to be Player of the Match.

With Jake Fraser-McGurk failing to replicate his breakthrough season from last year, DC now heavily rely on Faf du Plessis to provide rapid starts. He featured in three of the first four matches before missing the next four due to a niggle. On his return against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, he appeared rusty, and his fifty against Sunrisers Hyderabad remains his only notable score this season. Despite this, Betfair prices du Plessis at 10/1 (the same as KL Rahul), backing him to be POTM.

KKR’s batting has been largely inconsistent. They experimented with their opening combination by replacing Quinton de Kock with Rahmanullah Gurbaz alongside Sunil Narine. Gurbaz managed just one run in his first game and was unbeaten on one in the washout against PBKS. Despite this, KKR are likely to persist with Gurbaz, who – priced at 12/1 for POTM – remains a decent outside bet. While de Kock (10/1) has better odds to win Player of the Match, KKR seem unlikely to revert to him now.

As for Narine, while his batting hasn’t matched last season’s heroics, he’s just one innings away from rediscovering his form – a notion reflected in his 11/1 odds. His bowling, though not at its best this year, also gives him a dual advantage to compensate for modest returns.

Can DC amend their home record?

Against RCB, DC opted for a slow and low surface, as revealed by their mentor Kevin Pietersen. However, with KKR’s trump card being their spin attack, a better batting wicket is expected this time.

Despite not being at their absolute best, DC have been the more consistent team this season and are favoured to win – a sentiment reflected in Betfair’s odds (4/5 for DC vs 1/1 for KKR). The one glaring advantage for KKR, however, is DC’s shaky home record this year.
