The 60th match of IPL 2025 between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans at Arun Jaitley Stadium features two teams with contrasting recent fortunes. Delhi Capitals' batting lineup is anchored by the in-form K L Rahul and Abishek Porel, while their bowling attack is led by the economical Kuldeep Yadav and versatile Axar Patel who have been consistently controlling the middle overs.
On the other hand, Gujarat Titans rely on their formidable top order of Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler, with Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj spearheading their bowling attack. Delhi will host this crucial encounter on May 18 at 7:30 PM IST, with both teams looking to strengthen their playoff chances.
DC vs GT Toss Prediction
Analysis of the matches played at Arun Jaitley Stadium this season shows that the team batting first has won 75% of the games played here. The data reveals a slight advantage for the first innings with an average score of 190 compared to 184 in the second innings, with marginally more wickets falling in the second innings.
The pitch tends to slow down as the match progresses, making it increasingly difficult for the chasing team. Given these trends, winning the toss and batting first appears to be the strategically sound choice at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium, despite all four teams that won the toss this season choosing to field first. The statistics clearly indicate that setting a target at this venue has been the more successful strategy in IPL 2025.

DC vs GT OneCricket's Predicted Winner
Delhi Capitals to win this contest, capitalising on their home advantage and the spin-friendly conditions at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Based on our data analysis, DC has the bowling attack better suited to the venue, where spinners have been significantly more economical than pace bowlers and have a much better strike rate.
The spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel gives Delhi Capitals a significant edge on a pitch that increasingly assists spinners as the game progresses. While Gujarat Titans have a powerful batting lineup led by Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler who have all scored over 500 runs this season, Delhi's bowling attack and familiarity with home conditions should help them overcome the Titans in this crucial encounter.
Additionally, the clear advantage for teams batting first at this venue suggests that if Delhi Capitals can win the toss and set a competitive target, they would be in a strong position to secure two important points in their playoff quest.
