Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans: A Crucial Clash Awaits in Delhi

Delhi Capitals Struggle to Find Form

After a dramatic mid-game evacuation in Dharamsala, Delhi Capitals will look to revive their IPL 2025 campaign against table-toppers Gujarat Titans in Delhi. The Capitals have won just one of their last six games, with three losses and one washout in Hyderabad.

Key Loss for Delhi Capitals

The absence of experienced Mitchell Starc will be a significant blow for Delhi Capitals. Starc, a proven big-game player, would have been vital to DC's chances at the business end of the competition.

Gujarat Titans Look to Sustain Momentum

With 16 points from 11 games, GT remains primed for a top-two finish. They have three games in hand, with the last two against teams in the bottom half of the table. A win will secure a playoffs spot.

Key Match-ups

• DC's spin duo, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel, will look to dismiss Jos Buttler, who has been dismissed by them three times each in all T20s.
• GT's Kagiso Rabada has favourable matchups against Faf du Plessis and KL Rahul, having dismissed them five and three times respectively.
