Delhi Capitals (DC) will host Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 40th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. When the duo met last week, the Titans had an unforgettable outing at home in Ahmedabad. When Shubman Gill and Co. travel to the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, they will look to atone for their six-wicket loss.

In their last meeting, GT were bundled out for a mere total of 89 in 17.3 overs, thanks to a poor batting display. Batting in reply, DC overcame the target in 8.5 overs after minor hiccups. However, the visitors will come in as a more confident unit after winning their last match against Punjab Kings (PBKS).

Pitch Report

SRH batters went mad on this ground when they faced Delhi in their last match. A total of 465 runs were scored here. The pitch is likely to behave the same way, and we can expect another batting-friendly game on Wednesday. Although batters usually have the upper hand, pace bowlers will also get some help.

Player Picks

8
C

Jake Fraser-McGurk DC | BAT

Fraser-McGurk is an explosive batter and has displayed his ferocious hitting in the three matches he has played so far. The right-handed batter has amassed 140 runs at an average of 46.67 and a strike rate of 222.22.

8.5
C

Shubman Gill GT | BAT

Shubman Gill is the backbone of GT's batting unit. Their total score on the board will depend on Gill's performance. The 2023 Orange Cap winner has so far scored 298 runs including two fifties.

8.5
C

Kuldeep Yadav DC | BOWL

Kuldeep Yadav grabbed a four-wicket haul when DC last played at this venue. The left-arm wrist spinner has been delivering his best and will look to continue this momentum in the upcoming matches.

9

Rishabh Pant DC | WK

Rishabh Pant has been impressive with bat and gloves. He has so far scored 254 runs at a strike rate of 150.30 and is DC's strength in the middle order.

9

Rashid Khan GT | BOWL

Rashid Khan is GT's trump card. The Afghanistan spin wizard's four overs are crucial as they can change the course of the game. He can also chip in with some vital runs in the lower middle order.

8.5

Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore GT | BOWL

Sai Kishore was adjudged the Player of the Match against PBKS after taking four wickets. The left-arm orthodox spinner currently has the fourth-best average (14.17).

8.5

Tristan Stubbs DC | BAT

The South African youngster is a vital cog in the DC unit. Stubbs has so far scored 199 runs at an average of 49.75 and an impressive strike rate of 180.91. Notably, he also grabbed two wickets in the last match against GT.

5

Mukesh Kumar DC | BOWL

Mukesh Kumar had taken three wickets at an economy of 5.30 when DC faced GT last time. The right-arm pacer is mainly responsible for bowling in the death overs. He is a wicket-taking bowler and can fetch you good points in your fantasy teams.

9

Axar Patel DC | ALL

Axar Patel picked up a wicket and conceded an economy of just 7.20 when his teammates went for 13 and over in SRH's 266-7 assault. Moreover, he was impressive against GT as well, conceding 17 runs in four overs and taking one wicket.

9

David Warner

DC | BAT

David Warner's form has been a huge setback for DC and if you pick him in the next match it could also be a blow for your team. The veteran opener has struggled to find runs and his leanpatch looks set to continue.

8.5

Wriddhiman Saha

GT | WK

Wrddhiman Saha returned to the GT XI in the last two matches but the veteran keeper-batter failed to create anything remarkable. In the last encounter against GT, he scored 2 runs off 10 balls.
