Gujarat Cricket Club are marginal favorites based on recent form and batting depth, with market-style odds around 1.95 for Gujarat versus 2.00–2.10 for Delhi in the latest lines, reflecting Gujarat’s stronger List A batting and Delhi’s uncertainty over availability of senior players.

The match starts at 3:30:00 AM on 26 December 2025 IST (Indian Standard Time, UTC+5:30), which is 10:00:00 PM UTC on 25 December 2025.

The fixture will be played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru — a 40,000-capacity, high-altitude ground known for batting-friendly pitches and short boundaries that typically produce high totals; pitch reads favor aggressive top-order batsmen and spinners who can exploit dry areas later in the innings.

Prediction: Gujarat CC to win with an expected margin of 20–40 runs or by 4–6 wickets; betting edge indicated on Gujarat at ~1.95 with total (over/under) leaning toward the over due to Chinnaswamy’s batting conditions and Gujarat’s recent scoring run, while Delhi’s chances hinge on whether their top-order stars are available.

In head-to-head List A meetings in recent seasons, Delhi and Gujarat have traded results with Gujarat holding a slight edge (Gujarat 6 wins, Delhi 5 wins in the last 12 encounters), and the average total across those games at Chinnaswamy is around 320 runs combined, favoring higher-scoring outcomes.
