DC vs GT Live Score, IPL 2025: Shubman Gill has won the toss for Delhi Capitals and opted to bowl. Kagiso Rabada is back for GT with Gerald Coetzee moved to the bench. Mustafizur Rahman plays for DC 24 hours after he played for Bangladesh against UAE. With just one win in their last five matches, Delhi Capitals are now in a spot of bother. They host the Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, with nothing short of a win will suffice. GT are on the cusp of securing a playoff berth and DC would aim to spoil the party to keep their hopes alive. While GT have a full-strength squad with Jos Buttler and Kagiso Rabada back, DC will be without their bowling mainstay Mitchell Starc.

DC vs GT Match Preview
After a great start with four wins in a row, Delhi Capitals lost the momentum. Axar Patel & Co have won only one in their last five matches to join the pack of seeking favours. They are now under pressure to win all their remaining matches to stay in the playoff race. Their batting hinges on KL Rahul’s consistency and Tristan Stubbs’ finishing prowess in IPL 2025. But the absence of Mitchell Starc weakens their bowling. Axar’s spin mastery will be crucial against GT’s aggressive top order.
Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, are in top form. They need just one win to confirm a playoff spot. Their batting trio of Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler has been relentless. Prasidh Krishna leads the bowling with 20 wickets. GT’s balanced squad and recent dominance make them favourites.
The Arun Jaitley Stadium’s batting-friendly pitch and potential dew favor chasing, adding intrigue to the toss. DC must exploit their spin duo of Axar and Kuldeep Yadav to counter GT’s batting depth, while GT will aim to capitalize on DC’s depleted bowling.
Recent Form
Delhi Capitals: NR, L, L, W, L (1 win in last 5 matches; 6 wins, 4 losses, 1 no-result in 11 matches) Gujarat Titans: W, W, L, W, W (4 wins in last 5 matches; 8 wins, 3 losses in 11 matches)Pitch Report
The Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch is known for being batting-friendly, offering good pace and bounce that suits stroke-makers. The average first-innings score in IPL matches here is around 168. Spinners may find some assistance as the game progresses, especially in the middle overs. Teams chasing have a slight edge (47 wins vs. 45 for batting first in IPL history), amplified by potential dew in evening matches, making toss decisions critical.
Delhi Weather Report
According to AccuWeather, Delhi will see temperatures around 38°C at the match’s start, cooling to 35°C by the end. Humidity will range between 26-29%, with clear skies and negligible chances of rain, ensuring an uninterrupted game. The absence of dew forecast for this evening’s match could balance conditions for both innings.
