Delhi currently sit in fourth place in the standings with six wins and three losses. They will hope to register a win against KKR and move up in the IPL 2025 standings. The side is coming off a disappointing loss against RCB at their home ground. However, with the season moving at its fag end, it will be important that DC pull up their socks as two other teams are just behind them with almost a similar situation.
On the other hand, KKR have not picked up their form. With three wins, five losses, and a no-result fixture in nine games, the Kolkata-based side currently sits in seventh place in the standings, and they will hope to register their fourth win of the season. The Ajinkya Rahane-led side is in a must-win situation, and another defeat could be their potential exit.

Pitch report
The Delhi wicket has traditionally favoured batters, and the story has been similar this season too. However, in the previous game (DC vs RCB), Bengaluru skipper opted to bowl first, considering the wicket won't change much as the match progresses. The surface remained slow throughout and the batters had to play smartly to score runs. Notably, the track is expected to pan out similarly, considering the upcoming game is taking place just 48 hours later. The team winning the toss will look to bowl first.
