As per Stake.com, the Gujarat Titans have a better probability of winning the GT vs DC IPL Prediction match. Check the win probability of the two teams below.
Now let’s move ahead and check how the players are expected to perform.
KL Rahul has been the best batter for DC so far. Having scored two fifties in the 5 games, Rahul scoring above 28.5 runs should be an easy task. BET at: 1.83
Sai Sudharsan has been a pillar of consistency this season. Being the leading run-getter of GT this season and chasing the Purple Cap, Sudharsan scoring above 30.5 is a safe bet. BET at: 1.83
Jos Buttler is the backbone of Gujarat’s middle-order. He has blown hot and cold at times with the bat and can be a slightly risky bet to score above 26.5 runs in this game. BET at: 1.83
This hasn’t been a season to remember for Jake Fraser-McGurk. DC’s find of the last season has looked completely out of sorts. Therefore, you can bet against him, as he may not be able to score above 16.5. BET at: 1.83
With 11 wickets from 6 games, Kuldeep Yadav is the leading wicket-taker of the season for DC and has just one wicket less than Noor Ahmad, who has the Purple cap in his possession.
DC’s batting is more about power hitting at the top, whereas GT batters, especially the top three, Gill, Sudharsan, and Buttler, are more of boundary hitters.
As mentioned above, DC has more aggressive batting with the likes of Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel, Ashutosh Sharma, Tristan Stubbs, etc., therefore, six hitters will more likely come from Delhi Capitals.
Matches Played: 5 GT won: 2 DC won: 3 No Result: 0
There’s not much to separate these two sides when it comes to a head-to-head contest. Having played 5 matches, GT has won 2, whereas DC has won 3. In the last season, DC decimated GT two out of two times.
How the two teams, i.e., Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals, expected to fare in IPL 2025 Match no. 34? Let’s take a look.
Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler, Washington Sundar/Mahipal Lomror, Sherfane Rutherford, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan, Ravi Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj IMPACT PLAYERS: Prasidh Krishna
Abishek Porel, Jake Fraser-McGurk/Faf du Plessis, Karun Nair, KL Rahul (WK), Axar Patel (C), Tristan Stubbs, Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohit Sharma/T Natarajan IMPACT PLAYERS: Mukesh Kumar
So far, 3 matches have been played at this venue this season. Batters have relished the opportunity to bat here, as there is enough assistance for the batters to play their shots. The ground offers black soil and red soil pitches. The red soil offers a bit of turn, but the batters make merry of the conditions. However, bowlers, especially the seam bowlers with the new ball, can make some early inroads if they bowl on the black soil wicket. For this game, it is learned that the red soil wicket is likely to be used.
Ahmedabad is expected to experience bright sunshine with the temperature hovering around 40 degrees Celsius. There will be little it breeze on offer as well, so one can expect hot conditions for the game. No signs of rains expected throughout the day.
It’s a day game, and we have witnessed how the teams are tempted to bat first in the afternoon. The wicket will be better to bat first early on, therefore expect the team winning the toss to have a go with the bat first.

Based on the IPL prediction and free expert tips we provided in this post, we are backing DC to complete a hat-trick of wins overs GT.
