GT vs DC IPL 2025: Titans Face Tough Test Against In-Form Capitals in Ahmedabad
CRICKETNEWS
Gujarat Titans will take on Delhi Capitals in Match 35 of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, April 19, at 3:30 PM IST.
Gujarat started the season with a loss but bounced back with four wins in a row. However, they recently lost to Lucknow Super Giants at home. Despite scoring 180/6, Gujarat couldn’t defend the total, as Lucknow chased it down with three balls to spare. Shubman Gill and his team will be eager to return to winning form. A victory in this match could take them to the top of the table.
Delhi Capitals, led by new captain Axar Patel, have been very consistent this season. They’ve won five of their six matches so far and are currently at the top of the points table. After a strong start with four straight wins, they suffered a close 12-run loss to Mumbai Indians. But they came back strong by winning a thrilling Super Over contest against Rajasthan Royals in their last game, and they’ll be full of confidence going into this clash.

Pitch Report:
The Ahmedabad pitch has been great for batting this season. All three matches played here in IPL 2025 have been won by teams batting first, with an average first-innings score of around 219. Batting first after winning the toss could be a smart move, especially since fielding in the afternoon heat and chasing a big total can be very tough.
