Gujarat Titans To Win, 1.91
GT has a very strong opening partnership and its batting has done quite well so far
DC managed to win by the skin of its teeth in the previous match. Its bowling is strong but batting is still questionable.
GT is playing at home which is a signifcant advantage
Gujarat Titans
Delhi Capitals
First ball of the match to be four runs
This would be a significant gamble for a bet. The Gujarat Titans managed a boundary four off their opening delivery against Lucknow Super Giants. Their attacking openers may want to hit the ground running with a boundary.
GT Total Runs 1-6 Overs: Under 56.5
DC has a strong bowling attack and we think both GT openers might not take too many risks against him. This could result in an overall lower powerplay total.
Gujarat Titans have won four of their six matches this season. One of their two blips so far came in their previous match versus Lucknow Super Giants. The team has eight points and a net run rate over one. Delhi Capitals have also been strong with four consecutive wins to start before their first loss of the tournament.

The head-to-head record over the past five matches will be in Delhi’s favour. They have three consecutive wins to work from going into this clash. Gujarat Titans beat Delhi Capitals in the two games prior.
Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals will take on each other in a pivotal clash of two giants towards the top of the table. This IPL match will be at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, 19 April 2025. In India, you can follow the match on the Star Sports Network and on the JioHotstar app.
Left-handed opener Sai Sudharsan has been a revelation with 329 runs in six matches at an impressive average of 54.83 and a strike rate of 151.61. His composed 82-run innings against Rajasthan Royals was instrumental in setting a commanding total over 200.
Captain Shubman Gill has provided consistent starts, contributing 208 runs with two half-centuries, while Jos Buttler has added firepower with 218 runs and a match-winning unbeaten 73 against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
In the middle order, Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia have played crucial roles in accelerating the innings during the middle and latter stages. Shahrukh Khan has scored 62 runs at a striking rate of 182.35, demonstrating his ability to clear the boundaries with five sixes in just four innings.
Tewatia brings finishing prowess with a batting strike rate of 200. All-rounder Washington Sundar has added depth to the squad as a composed batter and valuable off-spinner.
On the bowling front, Mohammed Siraj has been a standout performer after taking four wickets against the 2024 runners-up, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Prasidh Krishna has also been effective with two wickets in his previous IPL innings.
Rashid Khan, the retained Afghan leg-spinner is generally an economical wicket-taker. Sai Kishore and Arshad Khan have provided additional support to an already-powerful bowling unit. Khan has eight IPL wickets.

Explosive Australian opener Jake Fraser-McGurk dazzled in 2024 with 330 runs at a staggering strike rate of 234.05. Abishek Porel has been a consistent contributor, building on his impressive 2024 season where he amassed 327 runs at a strike rate of nearly 160.
Karun Nair made a remarkable return to the IPL with a scintillating 89 against Mumbai Indians. Nair showed that form is temporary, but class is permanent.
Wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul has been instrumental in Delhi's successes. His unbeaten 93 off 53 balls and two catches against Royal Challengers Bangalore was a masterclass in pacing an innings, earning him the player-of-the-match award. South African Tristan Stubbs has provided stability in the middle order with a batting average of 76.00 and a strike rate of 163.44 in the current season.
Captain Axar Patel continues to lead by example with bat and ball. He has taken 29 wickets for Delhi since 2022.
Mitchell Starc’s experience and skill have been invaluable in high-pressure situations. He has ten wickets this IPL season. Youngster Vipraj Nigam has shown promise with a notable two for 18 against RCB.
Ashutosh Sharma adds depth to the batting lineup, while veteran Mohit Sharma brings experience and leadership to the pace attack. Mukesh Kumar is also in the pace bowling lineup with 28 IPL career wickets.

The previous match at Ahmedabad between Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals was won by the Capitals when they chased the minor target of 90 runs. Gujarat have won two of their four matches by chasing. We think both teams would prefer chasing in this match as well.
The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is renowned for its dual nature, offering both high-scoring opportunities and assistance for bowlers. Depending on the soil type used (red or black) the pitch will be more favourable for batters or bowlers, particularly spinners.
The venue has witnessed thrilling matches where teams have surpassed 200 runs, showcasing its potential for high-scoring games. The pitch's behaviour can change, so the team able to adapt quicker is likely to win. Gujarat’s 217 for six in 20 overs was the previous first innings score at the ground.
Temperatures will be soaring near 40 degrees Celsius on Saturday. The excessive heat will be the most potent factor of the day with a slight breeze, small percentage of humidity and no chance of rain.
Both teams will come into this game locked and loaded for a humdinger. Gujarat Titans won four consecutive matches after their opening match loss and will be back at home to win in front of their supporters. Delhi Capitals will be stern competitors with an impressive record of their own this season.
A stronger batting lineup and home advantage could help swing things the way of the Gujarat Titans.
GT vs DC win percentage stands at 53% in favor of GT.
