Today's second game in the IPL 2025 will be between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Titans (GT) and will take place in Delhi. With 13 points and six victories from 11 games, DC is presently positioned fifth.
Gujarat, however, is almost guaranteed to qualify for the playoffs as they top the standings with 16 points after 11 games. Delhi may find itself in a difficult situation if the team loses the remaining games. Gujarat Titans is a less worried side in the game as the team has a one-step ahead in the playoffs.
Delhi Capitals are still in the run for the playoffs, with six victories, four defeats, and a current fifth spot. After winning five of their first six games this season, they have had a difficult run, winning just one of their past five games.
They are currently in a tight place with 12 points after 11 games. This one is under more strain since another mistake might harm their chances. Since Mitchell Starc has left the team, DC will not have a suitable pace bowler for the rest of the 2025 Indian Premier League.
Gujarat Titans is one of the most consistent teams in IPL 2025. Currently, GT are table toppers with 16 points from 11 games. As the team is getting ready to face Delhi Capitals, GT hopes to defeat them to maintain its lead in the IPL points table.
Gujarat hasn't had many concerns, but some teams have problems with foreign players as a result of the one-week suspension. GT appears to be evenly distributed throughout departments, and both units are helping the team to work efficiently.

Arun Jaitley Stadium is a spin-friendly field that slows down in the second inning. Dew is unlikely to have an impact on the outcome of the game. Chasing the target will be a tough task with dew coming in later stages of the game, both captains will want to take batting first.
