The high-flying Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Titans (GT) are set to clash in a top-of-the-table IPL 2025 encounter, with Mitchell Starc and Mohammed Siraj expected to play decisive roles.
DC currently leads the points table with 10 points from six matches, while GT follows closely with eight points from six games. The Capitals are riding high after their dramatic Super Over victory against Rajasthan Royals, where Starc’s pinpoint yorkers turned the game in their favor.
Starc, who skipped the Champions Trophy to focus on IPL, has been in top form, leading DC’s pace attack with 10 wickets at an economy rate just over 10. His battle against GT’s top order—Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler—could be crucial in determining the match’s outcome.
On the other hand, Mohammed Siraj has emerged as GT’s bowling spearhead, picking up 10 wickets at an economy of 8.50, particularly excelling in the Powerplay. He will be up against DC’s opening duo of Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abishek Porel, who have struggled for consistency.
Both teams boast strong spin attacks: GT relies on Sai Kishore and Rashid Khan, while DC has Kuldeep Yadav and Vipraj Nigam. Kuldeep’s availability remains uncertain after a shoulder injury in the last match.
With both teams evenly matched, this encounter promises to be a thrilling contest between two well-balanced sides. Fans can expect a high-intensity battle as DC and GT fight for supremacy in IPL 2025.
