Buttler misses out on his ton as he remains unbeaten on 97. Rahul Tewatia gets the job done for GT in the final over with two boundaries on the trot. In the end, DC were 15-20 runs short. GT go top by toppling DC.

WICKET! The partnership is broken, courtesy Mukesh Kumar. There was some delay while confirming if the delivery was below waist height. There was never any doubt

Sherfane Rutherford c Starc b Mukesh Kumar 43 (34)

GT: 193/3 (18.5)

Buttler moves to 95! A ton is in sight for Jos the boss. 5 runs for the triple figure while GT need 20 from 16 to claim top spot.

In today's second match, LSG captain Rishabh Pant has won the toss and they are batting first vs Sanju Samson-less RR. Riyan Parag is leading them. Click here to follow live updates from that game

Buttler has completely tore apart Starc! 20 runs so far, five 4s on the trot and GT are running away in the chase. Buttler is now getting some treatment, might've pulled up a muscle

GT: 158/2 (14.5)

Imperious from Buttler! He is timing the ball to so well, using the pace to his advantage. GT are rampant in Ahmedabad

GT: 142/2 (14.1)

Rutherford seems to be in a rush! 3 sixes in four balls, he is on a mission to get GT across the line real quick. Meanwhile, Jos Buttler has also completed his fifty in 32 balls.

GT: 127/2 (12.5)

Commentator curse strikes! Rutherford has just whipped Kuldeep for a massive six over long-off. His bottom hand came down but the connection was good enough

GT: 109/2 (11.5)

Kuldeep has done well to contain runs at one end. However, he hasn't got any support from the other end. Even Starc has been expensive today.

GT: 98/2 (11)

Buttler goes straight down the ground! On the slot from Vipraj, and he sends it high and long over the sight-screen. 

GT: 84/2 (8.4)

Kuldeep strikes! Straight to deep midwicket! Kuldeep gets the big fish as Sudharsan holes out. Stubbs with an excellent catch

Sai Sudharsan c Stubbs b Kuldeep Yadav 36 (21)

GT: 74/2 (7.3)

Another big over for GT! 12 off the over as Sudharsan and Buttler continue to attack the DC bolwers, this time Mukesh

GT: 67/1 (6)

Now, Buttler goes on the attack. Welcomes Vipraj with back to back sixes. Excellent batting from these two.

GT: 53/1 (4.3)

WHAT A SHOT! Sudharsan gets down and swats Axar all the way over fine leg. GT are flying

GT: 35/1 (3.1)

What a shot! Back to back boundaries from Sai Sudharsan and GT are quick off the blocks. Drives it to the left of the cover fielder

GT: 26/1 (2.2)

A big mix up! Gill was halfway down the track and Sudharsan didn't move. Karun Nair affects a direct hit and Gill is well short of his crease

Shubman Gill run out (Nair) 7 (5)

GT: 14/1 (1.4)

Both Sudharsan and Gill have got going in the chase. Positive signs for GT. Save Starc and Kuldeep, DC's bowling has lacked consistency. 

Starc to bowl the first over Gill and Sudharsan eye bright start for GT in chase of 204. A win will take GT top of the table.

Kuldeep Yadav finds the gap to take DC past 200. GT will need to chase 204 to topple DC at the top of the points table. Prasidh Krishna finished with figures of 4/41 and he thinks that GT can chase it down as the wicket isn't that great for the bowlers.

GT have been penalised for slow over rate. Both Gill and Ashish Nehra seem unhappy. They've also subbed Ishant Sharma out. Sherfane Rutherford replaces him for the final over and GT's case.

Overs after going down due to possible heat stroke, Ishant Sharma returns to bag a wicket in the penultimate over.

Donovan Ferreira c Sai Kishore b Sharma 1 (3)

DC: 194/7 (18.3)

Back-to-back sixes from Ashutosh as he spoils Prasidh Krishna's figures after two wickets in as many balls. 200 plus is highly likely, even 220 plus seems achievable

DC: 188/6 (18)

2 in 2 balls for Prasidh Krishna as Buttler grabs a couple behind the sticks. The second one was a blinder. He made a full stretch down the right side to pouch the ball in air

DC: 173/6 (17.2)

Ashutosh finds gap and Siraj finishes with an expensive spell. 47 from his full quota and just one wicket. DC are course to cross 200 with three overs left

173/5 (17.1)

Now Prasidh Krishna goes down as well. After costly fielding error, GT's best bowler so far has also goes down with cramps. The physio is here to check on him

GT: 154/4 (15.4)

Ishant Sharma continues to rest near the boundary. The commentator thinks it is a case of heat stroke. However, Ishant is back on his feet.

DC: 153/4 (15.3)

DSP strikes! Gill recalls Siraj and the bowler repays the trust. Stubbs manages is to lob it to Prasidh at short third. Easy catch

Tristan Stubbs c Prasidh Krishna b Mohammed Siraj 31 (21)

DC: 146/4 (14.2)

Stubbs skies it but Rashid fails to grab this. Stubbs breathes a sigh of relief. It was a difficult chance as the ball was in the air for a long time

DC: 140/3 (13.4) 

This Ishant gamble has not worked so far. On the slot and Stubbs hits this aerially to find the gap. DC are still scoring over 10 and we are in the 13th over. How far can they reach?\

DC: 130/3 (12.5)

Axar breaks the shackles! Lofts it down the ground and straight over long-off. 

DC: 118/3 (11.2)

Huge shout for LBW! Given and Axar reviews this after some hesitation. Turns out to be an excellent DRS call as it was pitching down the leg. Big let off for DC!

DC: 102/3 (9.4)

Big Wicket For Gujarat! Karun was timing the ball well but he picks out deep third this time. Arshad takes a great catch sliding in. Prasidh Krishna delivering the goods once again

Karun Nair c Arshad Khan b Prasidh Krishna 31 (18)

DC: 93/3 (8.2)

No boundaries from Rashid Khan's first. Just seven off it but DC's current run-rate is just over 11. Plenty of batting to come with 12 overs left

DC: 89/2 (8)

Karun Nair has decided to carry on from where Rahul left. A four and a six off Arshad as DC end the powerplay strongly. 73 in the first six for the loss of two wickets

Prasidh nails the yorker! Loud appeal for LBW and the umpire gives it. KL doesn't review this. Good decision as the replays showed three red light

KL Rahul lbw b Prasidh Krishna 28 (14)

DC: 59/2 (4.4)

Rahul has now decided to take on Arshad. Back to back boundaries as DC collect another 11 in this over

DC: 52/1 (4)

Siraj getting leathered! 4,6 from Rahul, followed by a 6 from Nair to end the over. Poor bowling from Siraj and DC are flying in the Powerplay. Siraj has now been taken for 33 in his first two 

DC: 41/0 (3)

Imperious timing from Rahul! Despite losing his shape, he squeezes this in the gap, beating the man at deep cover.

DC: 28/1 (2.1)

Juicy full toss just outside off, a bit of shape away in the air. Porel is kicking himself as he has hit this straight to the man at mid-on. 

Abishek Porel c Mohammed Siraj b Arshad Khan 18 (9)

DC: 24/1 (1.4)

Porel takes down Siraj! Commentators curse. We were praising Siraj few deliveries back. However, Porel hits him for three boundaries in four balls. What an over for DC

DC: 16/0 (1)

Siraj seems like a different bowler this season. Much better line and length. This time, a leength ball in line of the stumps and Porel defends

DC: 2/0 (0.1)

The IPL 2025 match between Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals begins. For DC, Karun Nair and Abishek Porel will be beginning the proceedings. Both the players will aim to give DC a strong start. On the other hand, Mohammed Siraj will be bowling the first over for GT. Let's play!!!

Delhi Capitals Impact Subs: Jake Fraser-McGurk, Darshan Nalkande, Sameer Rizvi, Donovan Ferreira, Dushmantha Chameera

Gujarat Titans Impact Subs: Sherfane Rutherford, Mahipal Lomror, Anuj Rawat, Washington Sundar, Karim Janat

Gujarat Titans (Playing XI): Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill(c), Jos Buttler(w), Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Arshad Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, Ishant Sharma

Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Abishek Porel, Karun Nair, KL Rahul(w), Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel(c), Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Mukesh Kumar

"I also wanted to field. I was confused as it was that hot. I was a little skeptical due to the weather. The bowlers might get tired under the sun. We will look to score well and look to defend. We wanted a good start. We wanted to focus on the process. We are focusing on our process and execution. We keep talking about improvements. The dressing room atmosphere has been good. It is important to be clear in your ideas. We have given them clear roles. You might get success sometimes and sometimes you won't get it. Jake is not playing well," said Axar Patel. 

"We will bowl first. It is very hot. The wicket looks very good. If you won't keep much grass, it would crack up. Things have been going well. We don't think much about the past. It is about turning up on the day. It takes a couple of weeks for the team to gel in. We are going with the same team. Hopefully, Rabada will come back in 10 days or so," said Shubman Gill. 

Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and opted to bowl against Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2025 match on Saturday in Ahmedabad. 

"The pitch number 6 is being used. Three matches on this pitch, average first innings score is 219. Beautiful looking wicket. Even covering of grass. Absolute belter. Runs on the board will build pressure. Day game won't see dew and should be a high scoring fixture."

"It's good so far, going well so far as a team for us. Pretty happy to be in top half of the table. The most important thing is the support you get from your own crowd, it's one of the biggest stadiums. It's always full, it gives you energy when you see that passion and support. You want to give your best performance for the team. I think it's quite important (team's position on the points table.) That's where the competition starts. You can't take any game lightly as every game counts. We are in a good place at the moment but the tournament will get tougher and tougher from here. As a team you can't make mistakes," said Rashid Khan.

Having skipped the Champions Trophy to freshen up after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Starc has returned to the IPL recharged and razor sharp. With 10 wickets at an economy just over 10, he's led the DC pace unit featuring Mukesh Kumar and Mohit Sharma. If Starc can conjure another match-defining spell, it could be the edge that Delhi needs.

Mitchell Starc's mastery of death overs will be up against Mohammed Siraj's artistry when the high-flying Delhi Capitals take on an equally well-placed Gujarat Titans in a high-voltage top-of-the-table IPL clash. Confidence in the Delhi camp would be soaring after their dramatic Super Over win over Rajasthan Royals, another heist scripted under pressure with Starc at the heart of it. The Australian left-arm quick bowled three overs of pinpoint yorkers, including a nerve wracking Super Over, to turn the game on its head.

Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have been carrying most of Gujarat Titans' batting load since the start of the season. They remain key to the team's success. Can the likes of Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav help DC nullify them?

Gujarat Titans, who have 4 wins in 6 matches so far, will go top of the IPL 2025 team standings with a victory against Delhi Capitals today. Though DC already have 5 wins in 7 matches to their name, their Net Run Rate is a little inferior to GT.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of a high-profile clash between table toppers Delhi Capitals and No. 3 placed Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League. Both DC and GT have enjoyed a bright start to the campaign that sees them make significant strides forward towards their goal of qualifying for the playoffs. It's been quite neck-to-neck for these two sides so far, with both incurring 2 defeats each so far.
