GT vs DC – Playing 11, Toss Update & Match Prediction

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

As things stand, DC and GT are jostling at the top of the table — DC are flying high in first place with just one loss so far, while GT are right on their heels, having dropped only two games. And now, we’ve got a true top-of-the-table blockbuster on our hands. First vs second. A win here doesn’t just mean bragging rights — it could shape the playoff picture and push one side closer to being this season’s title frontrunner. 

Delhi come into this clash with their confidence through the roof after a thrilling Super Over win against Rajasthan Royals. While T20s are often dominated by batting fireworks, it was the ice-cold calm of Mitchell Starc that stole the spotlight. The Aussie speedster gave away just 20 runs across both the final over and the Super Over, single-handedly keeping DC’s win streak alive. Add to that the solid form of KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs, and things are clicking nicely for the Capitals. Not to forget Karun Nair, who’s looked sharp and composed since making his IPL comeback after three years. 

As for Gujarat, they’ve had a rare break in what’s usually a relentless IPL schedule — a full seven days off before this clash. On one hand, that could be a blessing, giving the squad time to recharge their batteries and fine-tune their game. On the other, breaks can sometimes disrupt momentum. Before the pause, GT were firing on all cylinders. Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, and Shubman Gill were scoring freely and setting the tone with the bat. The big question now is — can they pick up right where they left off, or will DC’s momentum prove too strong?

GT vs DC Match Prediction 

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

Match Prediction: The Delhi Capitals are starting to look like serious title contenders this season. With a fresh squad and a new energy about them, they’ve got the kind of balance and depth that champions are made of. And today’s clash against Gujarat Titans will be a proper test of just how good they really are. 

Gujarat, to be fair, have had a solid campaign too. But there’s one glaring concern — they’ve leaned heavily on their top three to get the job done. If Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler or Sai Sudharsan don’t fire, the rest of the batting lineup hasn't really picked up the slack. That’s where Delhi’s red-hot bowling attack could come into play. A couple of early breakthroughs, and suddenly GT’s middle order could be walking a tightrope. 

Throw in the scorching Ahmedabad heat and the spin trio of Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and Vipraj Nigam, and things could get really tricky for Gujarat. If DC’s bowlers get on top early, GT could find themselves under serious pressure.
