Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans have played each other six times in the Indian Premier League, with both sides winning three games each. You can check all head-to-head records here.
Gujarat Titans, before the Operation Sindoor-induced break, were in great form and they will hope to continue the same momentum in the upcoming match as well. Meanwhile, Delhi, without their star player Mitchell Starc, will be aiming to make up the loss and get back to the winning ways.
It is difficult to look beyond Gujarat's opening duo of B Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill at the moment, for the kind of form they are in, but it would be wise to go with Gill as the best batter for the upcoming clash. He has scored 508 runs at an average of 50.80 and a fantastic strike rate of 152.55.
Before the break, M Prasidh Krishna was at the heart of some of the best performances by Gujarat Titans this year and he has already picked 20 wickets in just 10 games. There is every chance that he will continue dominating the scene in the upcoming clash as well.
The batting first teams have dominated the proceedings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the IPL 2025, winning three out of four games. The average first innings score at the venue is 190/7 whereas the average first innings winning score is 199/6.
It's raining on and off in Delhi for the last week, but on the game day, there is no chance of rain. That should reduce the blood pressure of the IPL organising committee whose plan of restart in Bengaluru has been marred by rain so far.
