Pre-Match Analysis:
After a hectic schedule in the first phase of the IPL 2025, the Gujarat Titans are set to begin their 2nd leg after enjoying a much-needed one-week break. They returned empty-handed from Lucknow last week, suffering a close 6-wicket loss to the home side, Lucknow Super Giants. Titans had no answers against a ruthless batting demonstration from Nicholas Pooran (61) and Aiden Markram (58). They somehow pushed the game till the final over but weren’t able to secure a win.
After enduring a 12-run loss to Mumbai Indians in their 5th fixture, Delhi Capitals quickly made amends with a nail-biting super over win over Rajasthan Royals on Thursday. Mitchell Starc proved why Delhi have fetched him big bucks with exceptional death bowling, where he executed the Yorkers brilliantly and sent the game into the super over. He conceded 11 runs in the super over and made sure their batters didn’t have to bear too much pressure while chasing. In-form KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs got the job done in just 4 balls, handing the side their 5th win this season.
Capitals have been impressive in the first leg, will they extend the same form for the remainder of the season? We need to wait and watch. They badly awaiting fitness confirmation on Faf du Plessis, who missed the last 3 matches for the franchise. Skipper Axar Patel provided an update regarding Faf, saying he is likely to get fit for their away clash against the Gujarat Titans. It’s still unclear about Kuldeep Yadav’s injury, who injured his shoulder on the field against the Rajasthan Royals.
