IPL 2025: Match 60, DC vs GT Cricket Match Prediction - Who will win today's match between DC vs GT of IPL 2025?

Delhi Capitals (DC) will look to bounce back as they face a strong Gujarat Titans (GT) side on May 18th, hoping to reignite their campaign with a crucial win. The match will take place at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. 

 

Delhi Capitals

 

Delhi Capitals, currently positioned with 13 points from 11 matches, find themselves in a must-win scenario to keep their playoff aspirations alive. The team faces a significant setback with the absence of key pacer Mitchell Starc, who has opted out of the remainder of the season . In his absence, the bowling responsibilities will heavily rely on Kuldeep Yadav and Mukesh Kumar. Offensively, the Capitals will look to KL Rahul, their leading run-scorer with 381 runs, and the promising Abhishek Porel to anchor the innings . With the home crowd's support, DC aims to overcome recent challenges and secure a vital victory.

 

Gujarat Titans

 

On the other hand, the Gujarat Titans are on the brink of securing a playoff berth, leading the IPL 2025 standings with 16 points from 11 matches. A win against DC would not only confirm their spot in the playoffs but also strengthen their chances for a top-two finish . The Titans boast a formidable batting lineup, with Sai Sudharsan (509 runs), captain Shubman Gill (508 runs), and Jos Buttler (500 runs) all vying for the Orange Cap. Their bowling attack is equally impressive, led by Prasidh Krishna, the current Purple Cap holder with 20 wickets, supported by Mohammed Siraj and Sai Kishore . Having previously defeated DC by seven wickets earlier in the season, GT will be confident in replicating their success and solidifying their dominance in the league.
