DC vs KKR LIVE Score: Sunil Narine wins the Player of the Match award

“It was a total team effort. The way we started with Gurbaz and then Angki [Raghuvanshi] and Rinku. I still back myself to come back and deliver for the team. There are games you start early and struggle later and there are games you start late. I enjoyed all wickets, all are crucial. The more wickets you get, the better it is for the team. [Direct hit] Not the greatest fielder. Good to get a run-out. Just pick up and throw the ball as hard as possible! Self pride keeps me going. Always want to give the captain to give the option of having someone. If you want to be that kind of player, you have to keep up the hard work, even if there is no training.”

Today IPL match, DC vs KKR LIVE Score: Delhi Capitals (DC) face struggling Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Tuesday (29 April) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The match could not have come at a better time for DC, who made a brilliant start to IPL 2025 but have lost three out of their last five matches.

Nonetheless, they are still in fourth position in the IPL 2025 points table with six wins from nine matches and will look to move closer to the playoff spots with a win over KKR, who are on a two-game losing streak. The Knight Riders are seventh in the table with seven points and just three wins from nine matches.

Delhi Capitals lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their last game, at home and Kolkata must take inspiration from it.

Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch report

Delhi Capitals’ last game at the Arun Jaitley Stadium against RCB was low low-scoring affair as both teams scored in the region of 160-170. Expect similar scores as Delhi has quite often produced slow pitches. The match will be played at the centre wicket, which means batters will not have a single short side to target.

Delhi weather report

It’s another hot sunny day in Delhi with zero chances of rain. The temperatures will be between 38-27 degrees Celsius.
