Info: 

• Jake Frazer McGurk has looked in brute form. He has scored two fifties in two games, including 18-ball 65 against SRH. He can be backed as DC top batter. Kuldeep Yadav is Capitals’ best bowler and has taken 10 wickets in five games. He is our preferred pick for the top bowler.
• Shubman Gill has blown hot and cold but he is the team’s best batter and has scores of 72, 89 and 35 in the previous few games. A big innings should be around the corner. He is our preferred choice for GT top batter. Mohit Sharma mostly ends up taking most wickets for GT as he bowls in death and is not easy to hit given his variations. Back him as top bowler.
• The last match played here saw SRH score 266 and DC making 199. It is a small ground thus a lot of sixes are hit. Back both teams to hit over 10.5 sixes in the match.

Toss Predictions: 

Toss could be crucial as defending a score could be tough in Delhi given the small boundaries and ground dimensions. Also, dew could play a role as well.

Weather: ⛅

It will be a hot evening and temperature will be in the early 30s. The humidity will be 17 per cent while wind speed will be 16 km/h..

Pitch Report:

The wicket at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is a belter. The last match between SRH and DC was the first game played in IPL 2024 at the venue and it saw over 550 runs being scored. A score of around 200 is a must here batting first.

Team NEWS: 

DC Team News: 

Mitchell Marsh has confirmed he won’t be returning to India for remainder of IPL so that is a blow to DC. Also, Ishant Sharma missed the last game due to injury and he is likely to get back into the playing XI, with Mukesh Kumar going out. Anrich Nortje has been expensive but DC don’t have much apt replacements available. 

GT Team News: 

The Titans are likely to play an unchanged team. They had an opportunity to play Josh Little in last game but they opted for Azmatullah Omarzai, maybe because of his all-round abilities. Now since they made the changes in last game, we don’t see them tinkering with the combination in next game.

Team Combo: 

DC Team Info – 

• David Warner and Prithvi Shaw will probably open the inning.
• Jake Fraser-McGurk will bat at the one-down position. He is the backbone of the batting team.
• Abhishek Porel and Tristan Stubbs will handle the middle-order batting.
• Rishabh Pant will lead the Delhi Capitals as a Captain. He is having topmost fantasy points in this series.

• Mukesh Kumar and Anrich Nortje will lead the pace attack of his team.

GT Team Info – 

• Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill will probably open the inning.
• Shubman Gill is having topmost fantasy points in this series.
• Sai Sudharsan will bat at the one-down position. He is the backbone of the batting team.
• David Miller and Azmatullah Omarzai will handle the middle-order batting.
• Shubman Gill will lead the Gujarat Titans as a Captain. He is having topmost fantasy points in this series.
• Wriddhiman Saha will do the Wicket Keeping for Gujarat Titans.
• Rashid-Khan and Rahul Tewatia will take care of the spin bowling of his team.
• Mohit Sharma will lead the pace attack of his team.

Winning Chances: 

We are backing Delhi Capitals to win. The Shubman Gill-led side lack quality in batting, especially with Gill and Miller not in great form. They lack the explosive firepower thus we doubt they would score big runs if Gill fails to fire. For DC, they are a top heavy side and the inclusion of Jake Frazer McGurk comes as a shot in the arm. DC’s batting gives them an edge over GT thus DC are favourites for us.

Delhi Capitals to beat Gujarat Titans.

Delhi Capitals a 73% chance to win this match 

Gujarat Titans a 27% chance to win this match 

Key Players: 

Delhi Capitals 

Jake Frazer McGurk 

Jake Frazer McGurk has set the stage on fire with his blistering stroke play. He scored his second consecutive fifty of IPL 2024 after he blasted 65 in 18 balls against SRH. McGurk has a record of fastest century in 29 balls and he would look to break that record in IPL given how well he is striking the ball.

Rishabh Pant 

Rishabh Pant has scored 254 runs in eight games this season. Though far from his best, Pant has played a few good innings for his team. Delhi need Pant at his best if they are to scrip a turnaround.

Kuldeep Yadav 

Kuldeep Yadav has bowled his heart out this season. SRH was set for a 300+ score in the last game had not Kuldeep turned the game on his head. He took 4 wickets for 55 runs to save Capitals from massive embarrassment. Kuldeep has taken 10 wickets in five games this season.

Axar Patel 

Axar is a valuable addition to any team. He is very good with his lines and thus does not go for much runs while he also adds handy runs down the order.

DC Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Shai Hope,  Abishek Porel, Sumit Kumar, Praveen Dubey, Rasikh Salam 

DC will mostly use Abishek Porel as impact player as they have done in most IPL games. Rasikh Salam can be used if they play an extra batter and then use his services when they come into bowl.

Gujarat Titans 

Shubman Gill 

Shubman Gill scored 35 in the last game against PBKS but he looked scratchy. He has played a couple of decent knocks of 89 and 72 but has not looked a player who scored over 800 runs last season. Gill needs to find his mojo back if GT need to scrip a turnaround.

Rahul Tewatia 

Tewatia helped GT fetch another win after he scored 36 in 18 against PBKS. He has been the most consistent performer for GT but the team has not used him wisely. Given his form, he could have been promoted up the batting order. Maybe in the next game, we could see him batting slightly above.

Rashid Khan 

Rashid Khan bowled a great spell of 1-15 against PBKS. Rashid seems be to getting his rhythm back and that is a great news for the Titans because there is no bigger match winner for GT with the ball than Rashid Khan.

Mohit Sharma 

Mohit Sharma has done well with the ball. He has taken 10 wickets in eight games for the team and is Titans’ highest wicket-taker this season.

GT Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Vijay Shankar, Sai Sudharsan, Manav Suthar, Darshan Nalkande, Sharath Br 

Sai Sudharsan has been used as an impact player and given his consistent returns; he will once again be playing as an impact player for GT in next game.

Team Forms: 

DC Team Form: 

The Capitals have been ordinary, winning just three out of the eight games.

GT Team Form: 

Gujarat Titans have played eight games, winning four and losing as many.
