DC vs GT – Toss Update, Playing XI and Match Prediction

Check out the playing XI, toss result, pitch report, and match prediction for today’s DC vs GT IPL 2025 clash. Stay updated with key match insights and expert analysis.

The IPL 2025 season is heading into its most crucial stretch, and the race for the playoff spots is intensifying with every game. One team quietly building momentum is the Delhi Capitals. With six wins from nine matches, they've shown flashes of brilliance and certainly look capable of going all the way.

Their next challenge comes in the form of defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. But Delhi go into this contest on the back of a disappointing defeat to league leaders RCB — a loss that exposed some vulnerabilities. In fact, DC have stumbled a bit lately, losing three of their last five games, and Gujarat Titans will be watching closely, hoping to capitalize.

KKR, meanwhile, aren’t in great shape either. They've managed just one win in their last five games, and their previous match — a home fixture against Punjab Kings — ended in a rain-induced no result. Both teams are hungry for a turnaround, and with plenty riding on this clash, fans can expect an intense and high-stakes battle in the capital.

As both teams have solid squads, predicting a winner in today’s match is difficult, but here’s how it might unfold: 

Match Prediction: Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders find themselves on completely different trajectories this season. After a forgettable 2024 campaign, Delhi have bounced back strong and are now being talked about as serious title contenders. On the flip side, KKR—last year’s champions—are stumbling and currently sit outside the playoff picture. 

That makes tonight's clash a massive one for Kolkata. A loss here could deal a big blow to their already slim playoff hopes. The pressure is squarely on them. But even with so much at stake, KKR just don’t look like a side that’s got all its pieces in place. There are too many weaknesses in the squad, and against a resurgent Delhi side, that could be costly.
