The Delhi Capitals, however, are sitting pretty atop the table with five victories and one defeat in six matches. They beat the Rajasthan Royals in their last game in a nail-biting Super Over.

Match Preview

Gujarat Titans

After a home defeat to the Punjab Kings, the Gujarat Titans began the season, rising up the points table with four successive victories before being defeated by the Lucknow Supergiants in the sixth match. It was their highest-scoring game against the Punjab Kings, where the Gujarat Titans nearly touched a staggering score of 244, falling short by a mere 11 runs. Sai Kishore was the best bowler in this game, having taken three wickets for 30 runs.

The Gujarat Titans then won four consecutive convincing games against the Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Rajasthan Royals in the next four matches. This brilliant comeback was primarily thanks to two people. Most importantly, Sai Sudharsan, who has scored 329 runs in six matches, scoring most of the points at the top of the order. Second is the team's new entrant, Mohammad Siraj, who is in top touch, claiming ten wickets in the last six matches. He led by example to get the victory against his old team, RCB, in which he grabbed three wickets at a mere cost of 19, winning the Man of the Match award for himself.

Prasidh Krishna and Sai Kishore both grabbed 10 wickets in GT's first six matches. Alongside Mohammad Siraj, these three made up a great bowling lineup for the Gujarat Titans. These three kept GT in the dark about Rashid Khan's not-so-good performance and wicket-holding. Captain Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler, the two batsmen who have both made more than 200 runs this season, give fine support to Sai Sudharshan. Gujarat Titans have a fine team but will have to win at critical junctures to defeat league leaders Delhi Capitals.

Delhi Capitals

What a win for the Delhi Capitals yesterday evening over the Rajasthan Royals! Owing to Mitchell Starc's incredible last over, they tied a game they were destined to lose. They proceeded to win the Super Over by two balls and finished their fifth win of the season from just six games. With this victory, the Delhi Capitals now top the league table with 10 points and a remarkable net run rate of +0.744.

Or was it the Delhi Capitals' first game of the season that set the tone for what has turned out to be an excellent IPL in 2025. When they played their first game against LSG, DC were dull, chasing an enormous total of 210 runs. They trailed by six points at one point in the 13th over at 113 runs, and winning seemed an unlikely prospect. But Ashutosh Sharma's rearguard effort of 66 off 31 balls saw the Delhi Capitals win their first match of the season by one wicket, three balls.

Delhi Capitals made a great pick in KL Rahul in the recent auctions. His performance has added heavily to Delhi Capitals' top position. KL Rahul was the match winner against CSK with an innings of 77 from just 51 balls, adding to a 25-run win. Against his own team RCB, Rahul hit 93 off only 53 balls and picked two catches to guide Delhi Capitals to an easy six-wicket win. Rahul is Delhi Capitals' leading scorer this season and seems to be in prime condition. Mitchell Starc was among the wickets and, like KL Rahul, was named man of the match several times against SRH and RR.

The good thing about Delhi Capitals is that they win as a unit. No player stands out. Different players deliver well and assist Delhi Capitals in reaching the finishing line. Whatever may be the player like Ashutosh Sharma, KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, or Kuldeep Yadav, all deliver their share, and DC have dominated the season. It is a challenging game for them, but DC can definitely expect to win this match.
