GT vs DC Team Previews
Gujarat Titans
The Titans will be pleased with the way the team performed against Rajasthan Royals. The players managed to hold their nerves and clinch a last-ball thriller, greatly boosting their confidence levels.
Shubman Gill has led his team from the front, scoring 2 half-centuries in his last 3 innings. This has made him the 3rd highest run-getter of the season. His opening partner, Sai Sudharsan, has been equally consistent and is averaging 37.66.
The Gujarat Titans’ biggest weakness this season has been its middle-order batting. Despite having some prolific batsmen in the squad like David Miller, Vijay Shankar, and Rahul Tewatia, the team has often failed to add runs during the middle overs.
Coming to the bowling, Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav will be the key seamers for the team. The duo has picked up 15 wickets between themselves. They will likely be supported by Spencer Johnson.
The spin department is quite strong too, thanks to the presence of Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad.
Gujarat Titans Playing 11
WP Saha, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, David Miller, Abhinav Manohar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Mohit Sharma, Noor Ahmad, Spencer Johnson, SS Warrier.
Delhi Capitals
After suffering back-to-back losses, the Delhi Capitals managed to turn the tide on Friday as they defeated LSG for the first time ever. As a result, DC climbed up from the bottom of the table to the 9th place.
The team will expect a strong start from Prithvi Shaw and David Warner. The duo has played a couple of good knocks but will need to be a bit more consistent going forward. Jake Fraser-McGurk, who made his IPL debut in the match against LSG, was quite impressive as he scored 55 runs from 35 deliveries.
His partnership of 77 runs with Rishabh Pant was instrumental in handing Delhi a convincing win. Pant himself has been in good touch and is the leading run-scorer for Delhi. In addition, there are a couple of hard-hitting batsmen lower down the order including Shai Hope and Tristan Stubbs who can hit the big shots in the death overs.
Khaleel Ahmed is the leading wicket-taker for DC with 9 wickets and will be joined by Mukesh Kumar and Ishant Sharma in the seam department. Kuldeep Yadav bowled an excellent spell in the last match to pick up 3 wickets and will lead the spin attack.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium is usually good to bat on. The average first-inning score on this ground this season is around 175. That said, the quicker bowlers will get some help on this surface as the new ball swings and seams around a bit. Things do get easier for the batsmen as the match progresses. The weather is likely to be warm with temperatures of around 35 degrees.
GT vs DC Betting Tips
The Titans as well as the Capitals are two quality sides who are yet to play to their full potential. While there is no clear favorite to win, we feel that the Delhi Capitals have a slight edge in this contest, thanks to a stronger batting line-up.
Bet on the Delhi Capitals to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Only 1 of the last 5 matches played by DC and 1 of the last 4 matches played by GT have seen 14 or more wickets fall. Also, 2 of the 3 matches played at the Narendra Modi Stadium this season have seen fewer than 13 wickets fall. Given the stats, we are recommending to bet on Under 13.5 wickets to fall.
The Gujarat Titans have lost the toss in 3 of its last 4 matches. On the other hand, the Delhi Capitals have won it in 3 of their last 5 games. Therefore, DC has a higher probability of winning the toss.
You can expect the first delivery of the game to be scored for one run. Opening batters are a bit ginger initially, but this is a T20 game, and they may decide to push it for a single.
