Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans are set to face off in Match 60 of IPL 2025 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, on Sunday, May 18. With both teams vying for crucial points, this contest is expected to be a high-stakes battle as the race for playoffs intensifies.
DC, under the leadership of Axar Patel, has shown glimpses of brilliance but needs to find consistency. Their top order, featuring Rahul, Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel, and Karun Nair, holds the key to setting up a competitive total. With Axar Patel, T Natarajan, and Kuldeep Yadav spearheading their bowling attack, DC will aim to put Gujarat under pressure early.
GT, led by Shubman Gill, has been one of the strongest sides in the tournament. With Jos Buttler and Sai Sudharsan in fine form, their batting unit looks well-balanced. Prasidh Krishna and Kagiso Rabada’s pace will be instrumental in restricting DC’s run flow.
For Dream11 fantasy teams, prioritizing in-form top-order batters and quality spinners will be crucial. Given the batting-friendly nature of the venue, expect a high-scoring encounter where smart captain and vice-captain choices can make a significant impact
