Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Abhishek Porel had a slow start to the campaign but has been brilliant in the last few matches. So far this season Porel has scored 253 runs with an average of 31.62 which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

Sunil Narine was brilliant in the opening game of the season against RCB but since then he has struggled to make an impact. So far this season he has scored 151 runs which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.

Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders Betting Odds

Delhi Capitals to have a better opening partnership than Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals head into this game after both sides have struggled in the second half of the campaign. Both teams have just one win in the last five matches. Delhi Capitals got off to a great start this season as they won the first four matches but since then their form has taken a nose dive and they need to turn things around in this game. On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders have struggled to make an impact this term as they need a near perfect run in the remaining games to stay in contention for the playoffs this term. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact KKR has conceded a bigger opening partnership in each of the last three games which makes us believe DC will have a better opening partnership in this game.
