The IPL 2025 playoff race is reaching fever pitch, with just a few games left and as many as six teams still firmly in the mix. With so much on the line, every match from here on out feels like a final. But while most sides are jostling for position, Gujarat Titans are cruising. The 2022 champions sit comfortably at the top of the table with 16 points from 11 matches, and they’re just one win away from locking in a playoff spot. Their next chance to seal the deal? A clash against Delhi Capitals. 

Delhi’s campaign, on the other hand, has been a tale of two halves. They came out flying, winning four of their first five games, but things have gone south since. With just one win in their last five matches, they’ve slipped out of the top four and are now in danger of missing out altogether. And to make things even trickier, they have returned from the Indo-Pak break missing some serious firepower. Overseas stars like Jake Fraser-McGurk, Faf du Plessis, and Mitchell Starc have opted not to return, citing the tense situation between India and Pakistan. Still, all is not lost for DC. If they can rally and win two of their remaining three matches, they’ll still have a solid shot at making the playoffs. The pressure is on, but the door isn’t shut just yet. 

Head-to-Head: DC vs GT - Who Holds the Advantage?

If we talk about head to head record, then both the teams have faced each other 6 times in which Delhi Capitals has won 3 matches whereas Gujarat Titans have won 3 matches. In such a situation, Delhi Capitals will have an advantage in this match because they will be playing on their home ground for the sixth time in IPL 2025 and in the previous match lost by 14 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders.

The matches between the two teams are always tough. GT's team is looking in good form, but DC's main bowlers need to take responsibility as they are getting more runs in crucial time. For Delhi Capitals, both openers Jack Fasser Macgurk and Faf Du Plessis ruled out from Remining IPL, So DC is start with Abhishek Porel and Karun Nair they have need to take responsibly for Playoff hopes alive.

Despite DC having the firepower of Abhishek Porel, Karun Nair and KL Rahul, KKR's all-around strength and explosive players Sulin Narine and Andre Russel give them the upper hand in this head-to-head contest. However, it’s always been a close battle, with both sides frequently trading blows in IPL clashes.

Predictions: Who Will Win the Match?

As far as fantasy cricket is concerned, GT might have the edge with their explosive batting lineup led by Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and jos Buttler, but DC's balanced squad and the presence of all-rounders like Axar Patel and Vipraj Nigam make them a formidable opponent. Wankhede Stadium, with its high-scoring potential, might slightly favor the batting-heavy teams, so expect a run-fest.

Injury Update:

No injury concern.
