Key Highlights:
Ahmedabad weather is expected to be dry, clear, and extremely hot on Saturday, April 19, 2025, as Gujarat Titans prepare to host Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025 Match 35. With temperatures expected to soar above 41°C, both players and fans must brace for intense heat at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
The match, scheduled for a 3:30 PM IST start, will be played under bright sunshine and cloudless skies, with no threat of rain, making it a perfect day for uninterrupted cricket.
GT vs DC to Face Peak Heatwave Conditions
According to forecasts:
- Daytime High: 41°C
- Evening Low: 26°C
- Humidity: Low (around 21%)
- Rain Chance: 0%
- Wind Speed: 16–32 km/h
- UV Index: 11 (Extreme)
The match kicks off during the hottest part of the day, and the Ahmedabad weather could challenge player stamina, especially during fielding innings.
“With this heat, expect hydration breaks and strategic rotation of fast bowlers,” notes a Cricbuzz analyst.
Precautions for Players and Fans
With Titans vs Capitals falling in mid-April, summer temperatures in Gujarat are at their seasonal peak. As such:
- Players will rely heavily on electrolyte drinks and ice towels.
- Fans attending the match should carry caps, sunscreen, and stay hydrated.
- Match officials are expected to approve additional hydration breaks.
The Narendra Modi Stadium, known for its vastness and mixed-soil pitches, offers little in terms of natural shade. Hence, high heat exposure is expected for both teams.
Impact of Ahmedabad Weather on Match Strategy
Although there’s no rain, the extreme heat could affect:
- Pace bowlers’ workloads, leading to shorter spells.
- Spinners’ grip, especially with sweat-induced moisture.
- Chasing advantage, as conditions may slightly ease by second innings.
Expect both GT and DC to make tactical adjustments—possibly adding an extra seamer or choosing to chase to avoid prolonged fielding under the sun.

Cricbuzz’s weather watch confirms no rain interruptions. With the pitch likely to stay dry, turn may increase in the second innings, giving bowlers like Kuldeep Yadav or R Sai Kishore an edge.
GT will look to capitalize on home conditions, while DC will hope their in-form batting can withstand both the opposition and the sun.
Ahmedabad Weather Will Not Hinder a Cracking Contest
Despite the high temperatures, Weather poses no threat to play. Instead, it adds a demanding layer to this top-of-the-table clash. The team that better adapts to the heat—mentally and physically—could walk away with two crucial points.
