IPL 2025: DC vs GT pitch report, highest score, Arun Jaitley Stadium stats

Delhi Capitals continue their IPL 2025 journey with a crucial clash against Gujarat Titans in Match 60, tonight at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. GT skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and decided to bowl first on the night.

 

Gujarat Titans are in a strong position with 16 points from 11 games, needing just one more victory to confirm their spot in the playoffs. In contrast, Delhi Capitals find themselves in a more complicated scenario with 13 points. Their recent form has been inconsistent, particularly at home, where they've managed only a single win. The team has also been affected by injuries, player withdrawals, and dips in performance.

 

 

While Mitchell Starc remains unavailable for the final leg of the league, DC have welcomed back Faf du Plessis and Tristan Stubbs. However, they still face a tough challenge, requiring two wins from their last three matches to stay in the playoff race.

 

GT, meanwhile, have thrived this season, powered by an in-form top order featuring Shubman Gill, B Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler—each surpassing the 500-run mark. Their bowling attack, led by Prasidh Krishna, has also delivered consistently. Though they may face late-season absences with players like Buttler and Kagiso Rabada potentially leaving for international commitments, Gujarat remain strong contenders for a top-two finish.
