DC vs GT Match Prediction & Analysis Delhi Capitals (DC) take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 60 of IPL 2025 this Sunday in Delhi. DC have picked up six wins from 11 games and currently hold fifth place with 13 points. Gujarat, on the other hand, lead the standings with 16 points from 11 matches and are all but certain to reach the playoffs. A loss here could put Delhi in a tight spot. Gujarat have been in solid form and carry more momentum heading into this one, which gives them the advantage in what’s expected to be a tough contest. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals are still in the race for the playoffsโsix wins, four losses, sitting fifth at the moment. They opened strong this season, taking five wins from their first six, but itโs been a rough stretch since, with just one win in the last five games. At 12 points from 11 matches, theyโre in a tight spot now. Another slip-up could really hurt their chances, so this oneโs got added pressure. The timing isnโt ideal either. Thereโs still no word on whether Faf du Plessis will be back after the break. Tristan Stubbs, however, will be back for the rest of the league phase. If Faf remains out, itโll fall on the Indian players to push the team forward. KL Rahul will need to be at the front of that effort. Heโs been calm but assertiveโ381 runs from nine innings at a strike rate of 142.16. Abishek Porel has done well at the top too, piling up 265 runs in 11 games with a strike rate of 150. Axar Patel has stepped in when needed, especially during wobbling middle overs, adding runs that helped settle things. He, along with Stubb,s will be crucial from overs 10-20. Ashutosh Sharma has chipped in late, hitting quick runs to keep the innings moving when the pressureโs been on. Gujarat Titans Preview Gujarat Titans have been one of the steadiest sides in IPL 2025, collecting 16 points from 11 games to sit at the top of the table. With a playoff spot nearly in the bag, theyโll be aiming to lock in a top-two finish to get two chances at making the final. While the one-week suspension caused overseas player issues for several teams, Gujarat havenโt had much to worry about. Jos Buttler and Gerald Coetzee were the only ones who left India after the pause, and both are expected back before the next game. Rashid Khan, Sherfane Rutherford, Kagiso Rabada, and Karim Janat stayed back with the team during the break. GT look balanced across departments, and both units are firing smoothly. At the top, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler have been piling on the runs, each going past 500 for the season. The form of this trio has been a huge factor in Gujaratโs dominance, and thereโs no doubt theyโll be central again. In the middle, Rutherford has quietly put together 229 runs in eight knocks at a strike rate of 159. Rahul Tewatia, as usual, has chipped in during the final stretch of innings with his handy cameos. The bowlers have kept their end of the bargain, too. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna have taken 35 wickets between them, and Sai Kishore has picked up 14 while maintaining control with an economy of 8.37. In a further boost to the team, Kagiso Rabada is all set to be back for GT for the remaining league games. The South African speedster’s presence will further bolster an already strong bowling unit. Rashid Khan is also beginning to find his rhythm again. If the pitch suits them, this bowling unit could make an impact once more. Weather Conditions The surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium is generally flat and settles well once the lights come on. Itโs a ground where batters can trust the bounce and get good reward for timing, especially with shots played square. Spinners may find a bit of help later in the game, but itโs usually nothing major, so expect the bat to have the upper hand. Delhi’s weather will be warm and sticky, but thereโs no rain in the forecast. The average first innings score at Delhiโs Arun Jaitley Stadium sits at 170. The highest total recorded at the venue in IPL 2025 is 205-5 by Mumbai Indians against the home side, a game they won by 12 runs. Expect another high-scoring game with both teams targeting a total of over 200 to feel confident. Toss: To Bat Three of the four matches played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in IPL 2025 have been won by the team batting first. Going by these numbers, it’s clear that batting first is advantageous on this venue.
