Delhi Capitals will look for an immediate bounce back as they host a struggling Kolkata Knight Riders franchise in an IPL 2025 fixture #48 on Tuesday. This match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium between the playoff hopefuls Capitals and the lower-half laggards Knight Riders comes with our prediction of a home win.
After Sunday’s matches (46 games), Delhi are fourth with 12 points (W6, L3) and are level on points with two teams above them. Kolkata’s seven points (W3, L5, NR1) put them five points behind their hosts in the race to finish in the top four.
A six-wicket loss to RCB on Sunday continued Delhi’s see-saw result pattern lately, as they won two and lost three of their five recent matches. With the top of the table too tight, a loss here could have an adverse impact on their playoff chances.
The Capitals will go on an away tour from here on, so improving on their record at this venue in 2025 (W1, L2) is imperative.
Kolkata’s last match against Punjab Kings on Saturday was a washout, giving them their first points in three matches. They would have ideally wanted a full game and two points, as time was running out in their top-four push.
This is their first and only meeting in this campaign, unless both qualify for playoffs.

Our Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Prediction
The defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday was a blip in what’s otherwise an impressive campaign for the Delhi Capitals so far. They have been clinical in all the departments, and even against Bengaluru, their bowlers took the game deep. Kolkata can’t say the same about their campaign, as their last game result – a washout – could prove detrimental in the longer run. They have struggled at this venue historically, and that’s why our Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders prediction is Delhi Capitals wins the match.
