IPL 2025: 4 milestones that can be achieved in today's DC vs GT match

Delhi Capitals (DC) will face Gujarat Titans (GT) in match number 60 of IPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Sunday, May 18 in the second match of the double-header. Despite winning only two of their last seven games, DC are still in fifth position in the points table owing to the brilliant start they made to IPL 2025. GT have 16 points from 11 games and are on the verge of sealing a playoffs spot.

Delhi's previous match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Dharamsala was abandoned after just 10.1 overs were bowled. DC were lucky as PBKS had raced away to 122-1 when the match was stopped. Before that, they were fortunate against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) as well as rain saved them from what could have been yet another defeat. DC need to get their act together before it's too late.

GT can confirm their spot in the IPL 2025 playoffs with a win over DC on Sunday. They have won four of their last five matches in the tournament. In their previous clash, they got the better of Mumbai Indians (MI) by three wickets (DLS method) at the Wankhede Stadium. Both Gujarat's batters and bowlers have made significant contribution in the team's success.

In the head-to-head battle, both DC and GT have won three matches each. When the teams met in the first half at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Gujarat beat Delhi by seven wickets. A number of milestones could be achieved by players from both teams in the IPL 2025 match on Sunday. Here's a lowdown.
