KKR vs DC Live Scorecard

Kolkata Knight Riders recorded a 14-run win in their match with Delhi Capitals. They bowled them out for 190 runs before successfully defending it, with Sunil Narine taking three wickets while Varun Chakaravarthy picked up two wickets as Delhi struggled to score quickly.

Ajinkya Rahane of KKR expresses his joy at their win while noting their struggles in their powerplay – conceding too many runs at too costly an rate. He reiterates the team’s quest for playoff spots and hopes to witness a huge crowd turnout at their stadium on November 12th.

DC’s innings stalled quickly and they struggled on a slow pitch with no sign of their explosive batting unit firing up. Now three defeats in a row has put DC out of contention for a top two finish.

Angkrish Raghuvanshi played an important part for KKR, scoring 44 off 32 balls despite falling just short of his half century target. Rinku Singh also contributed considerably by scoring 36 from just 25 deliveries.

After a slow start, KKR gained momentum in the middle overs and scored 80 runs during their power play – an excellent run rate which propelled them ahead. Unfortunately for them though, early wickets fell and it only took Delhi Capitals some wickets for them to become competitive in this contest.

Axar Patel has made his mark for an unlikely first innings century by diving full length to take a catch at midwicket off Vipraj Nigam’s legspinner Vipraj Nigam, but was hit by the ball which struck his hand and then immediately left the field in order to receive treatment from Patrick Farhat, the lead physio.

Abhishek Porel attempts to go over wide long-on, only for it to be caught at deep midwicket instead. Following consultation with physio, Abhishek Porel leaves the field, marking his first hand injury this season and dealing a blow to both bat and field for hosts who will miss him as an asset both with bat and ball.

KKR vs DC Prediction

As Kolkata Knight Riders are still searching for their form, the race for playoff spots among teams in the top half is intensifying. Delhi Capitals will look to rebound after falling victim to Royal Challengers Bangalore last time out and continue their impressive home form against an unpredictable KKR side in this encounter.

This match will take place on an arena likely to favour batsmen, with recent wicket conditions at Arun Jaitley Stadium being flat and small – making it hard for bowlers to control run flow.

KKR would benefit greatly from victory in this match and will look to take advantage of batting-friendly conditions by capitalising on Ajinkya Rahane and Sunil Narine’s recent form.

Rohit Sharma should be available for this game and will play an instrumental role for India’s visitors. After struggling in previous tournaments, he’ll hope to rediscover some form in this pivotal match-up.

The chasing side will look to make it three wins out of four in this competition and boasts a strong squad to do so. Their top order has been excellent, while they have numerous players who can step up when required; these include Abhishek Porel, Karun Nair and KL Rahul who all boast some decent form.

KKR will look to improve on their lackluster performance from their last game and find consistency if they want to qualify for the playoffs. More runs must come from their top order with Faf du Plessis still struggling upon his return from injury.

KKR made two additions to their team for their previous game against Pune; Rovman Powell and Chetan Sakariya joining. Harshit Rana appeared to have experienced some form of injury and it remains possible that he may miss this contest.

This IPL 2025 match will take place at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Axar Patel’s Delhi Capitals (DC) are looking to bounce back after their defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their previous match, and are inching closer to qualifying for playoff spots as each victory over Kolkata Knight Riders increases their advantage over Mumbai Indians.

At Arun Jaitley Stadium, which is notorious for slow turning pitches, winning teams should aim to score runs quickly in order to take control of their games and stay in contention for playoff qualification. Ajinkya Rahane’s KKR side has struggled this season but must win all remaining matches to remain relevant for playoff contention.

DC skipper Axar Patel won the toss and elected to bowl first against KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane, only for their decision to backfire as Sunil Narine and Rahmanullah Gurbaz hit fours and sixes within two overs of both players being on strike – Narine being particularly prolific, hitting four fours and sixes before Gurbaz was caught behind off Dushmantha Chameera; still Narine maintained momentum as KKR reached 79/1 during their powerplay innings.

DC overcame early setbacks to secure themselves a strong position in the chase. Faf du Plessis’ unbeaten 62 helped them finish on 158/3 and continue their run when taking on KKR next.

The KKR vs DC game will be shown live in India via Star Sports Network, Hotstar app and website, and local listings or international channels such as Sky Sports or Willow TV for coverage.

At Eden Gardens in Kolkata, the top two teams in the table will square off in an important match that could determine who advances to the playoffs. Both KKR and DC have seen some success batting but struggle with bowling; while DC have done better with bowling than bat and have suffered losses. Any outcome is possible here so it is essential for both sides to start well and ensure success throughout.

Sunil Narine and Rahmanullah Gurbaz of Kolkata Knight Riders have made a brilliant start, scoring 33 runs in two overs with Gurbaz smashing Mitchell Starc for two fours and sixes before Starc managed to take Rovman Powell wicket in his second delivery, leaving KKR at 79/1 after three overs.

Kuldeep Yadav has done a fine job here, holding KKR to under 10 runs an over. Andre Russell and Rohit Sharma are doing excellent work in the middle, but must sustain their run rate in order to make an impactful season-ending performance possible.

Delhi suffered another setback when their captain tried to prevent a boundary and got injured while trying to stop it, leaving him out for several days while suffering intense hand pain that may prevent him from playing in further tournament matches. If not recovered in time, his participation may come to an end sooner rather than later.

Axar Patel batted at No. 5, despite concerns regarding his fitness. Faf du Plessis joined him at No. 6. Varun Chakravarthy bowled a good first over, yielding four runs from it; his next ball, however, was slower and flicked leg-side by Faf for four runs off it.

Sunil Narine steps up again, striking again as Axar drives past Powell’s diving attempt and scoring another boundary off Axar’s fine innings thus far, helping DC maintain their momentum. But they still require 59 from 30 overs! And here lies Sunil Narine’s magic; in his first over he got both Axar and Stubbs out before taking Faf out in his next over.
