DC vs GT Team Previews
Delhi Capitals
The Delhi Capitals received a major setback ahead of the tournament as Rishabh Pant was ruled out for the entire season. Nevertheless, the team has had the time to get back to the drawing board and chalk out an alternate strategy.
Skipper David Warner will be disappointed with the performance of his star-studded batting line-up in the opening game because as many as 4 of the top 7 batsmen were dismissed for single-digit scores. Warner himself scored a gritty half-century and his opening partner Prithvi Shaw appeared to be in good touch.
The team will bank on Mitchell Marsh, Rilee Rossouw, and Sarfaraz Khan, who were in excellent form in the lead-up to this tournament, to play a good inning in the middle order. The Capitals have a long batting line-up thanks to the presence of Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, and Aman Khan.
Talking about the bowling, the Capitals have a pretty balanced bowling attack. Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar, and Chetan Sakariya make up for a good seam attack, while Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav are the two specialist spinners on the team.

Gujarat Titans
Gujarat Titans began their IPL journey with a bang, as they won the title on their debut. They have retained most of their core team before this season and have made some smart purchases to further strengthen the squad.
Shubhman Gill was in prime form in the months leading up to the current season of the IPL and has carried that here too, as he scored a blazing half-century in the opening match. He, along with Wriddhiman Saha, scored some quick runs during the Powerplay until the latter got out to a foolish shot. Saha will hope to put up a better performance here.
The Gujarat Titans’ middle order looks a bit wobbly, especially after the departure of Kane Williamson, who is likely to miss out the entire season due to an injury. In his absence, Matthew Wade is likely to get a chance in this game. Hardik Pandya and Vijay Shankar haven’t been in the best of forms of late, which can be a cause of concern.
However, on the positive side, Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan add some depth to the batting. Mohammad Shami will once again lead the new-ball attack for the team and will have skipper Hardik Pandya as well as Alzarri Joseph and debutante Joshua Little to support him.
The team does lack bite in the spin department as Rashid Khan is the only world-class slower bowler on the squad.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is generally considered to be good for batting as the surface has a good bounce and the ball comes on nicely to the bat. As an added advantage to the batsmen, the boundaries aren’t the biggest and the outfield is quick too. The average first-inning score here is around 170.
While the quicker bowlers will not get much assistance, the spinners will be able to extract some turn from the surface. The skies will remain a bit cloudy and temperatures will remain between 25-30 degrees Celsius.
DC vs GT Betting Tips
The Gujarat Giants have made a winning start to their campaign but we think that the Delhi Capitals hold a slight edge here. The team has a lot of depth in their batting and quite a few explosive batsmen in the middle order. The Capitals also have e better balance in their bowling attack. On the other hand, the Titans are without some of their key players including Williamson and David Miller, and the middle order isn’t in the best of forms.
Bet on the Delhi Capitals to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The Delhi Capitals are likely to open with Prithvi Shaw and David Warner. Both of them put up a partnership of 41 in their opening game against the Lucknow Super Giants and looked in good touch. Warner went on to score a half-century, while Shaw has some excellent domestic form to back him.
Rashid Khan was at the top of his game in the recently concluded PSL where he picked up 20 wickets and helped the Lahore Qalandars retain their title. He has continued with his form in the IPL too as he picked up 2 wickets in the opening game and was the top bowler for the Titans there. Seeing his form, we are backing him to once again become the top bowler here.
The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium has traditionally favored the batsmen. The bounce is good and consistent, allowing the batsmen to play their shots. The ground is on the smaller side and combined with the lightning-fast outfield, we are more than likely to see a 20-run over.
