Delhi Capitals Vs Gujarat Titans

MATCH PREDICTION & ANALYSIS

The Titans, in sixth position, take on the Capitals, in eighth place, and the outcome might have a big impact on both clubs’ future development. A victory by the Titans would undoubtedly drive the Capitals to the verge of elimination, while a victory by Delhi might allow them to pass MI and pass the Titans.

After four head-to-head meetings, the Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans are now tied 2-2. Both sides would like to improve their head-to-head record and add one more victory to their total.

Teams Preview –

Delhi Capitals :

The Delhi bowling team would be a little nervous right now after getting hammered by SRH batters in the last game. With the exception of Axar Patel, all of the DC camp’s bowlers had difficulty that day and were sent to the dry cleaners.

With a dismal economy rate of 17 runs per over, left arm opening bowler Khaleel Ahmed was among the three bowlers—one spinner and two pacers—taken for more than fifty runs. Despite this, Delhi’s batsmen were able to stay up with the needed run rate because of the outstanding counterattacking performance of Australian phenom Jake Fraser McGurk, who smashed 65 runs in 18 balls.

Prithvi Shaw, got off to a strong start, hitting four straight boundaries. Abhishek Porel was slow to get going but quickly made a name for himself by setting a lot of limits. Although Rishabh Pant managed to cut the deficit to less than 60 runs with a few crucial runs in the backside, the loss was still too much.

Delhi has a lot of room for improvement in both their bat and ball game, and they are running out of time in the competition. To restart their campaign, they must string together a few victories.

Delhi Capitals Predicted Playing XI:

David Warner, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar. Impact Player: Prithvi Shaw.

Gujarat Titans :

For the most portion of the chase, Gujarat Titans batters were in control of the Punjab Kings, but for a brief moment when they lost wickets in bunches. After Saha was substituted, Gill (35 off 29) and Sai Sudarshan (31 off 34) stabilised the ship. Before Gill lost his wicket, they scored 41 runs for the second wicket. Miller left the unproven middle order vulnerable when he left the pavilion without bothering the scorers after a short visit.

Gujarat was fortunate that Rahul Tewatia and Shah Rukh Khan united in the midst. Instead of playing crazy cricket to win the match, they were playing reasonable cricket to come in near to the target.

And when they did, they won handily and with plenty of balls left over. In terms of bowling, Sai Kishore, the lanky left arm spinner, made significant bowling returns to put the batsmen of Punjab Kings on the back foot. Sai Kishore bowled with good control, working in combination with Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed, the Afghan spin duo.

The three spinners combined to bowl 12 overs and claimed 7 wickets for a meagre 68 runs. They used the favourable conditions to their advantage to build a web of spin that kept Punjab Kings below par and set up Gujarat Titans for victory.

Gujarat Titans Predicted Playing XI:

Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill (c), David Miller, Azmatullah Omarzai, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Noor Ahmad, Sandeep Warrier, Mohit Sharma. Impact Player: Sai Sudarshan

Pitch & Weather Conditions:

Weather :

Watch out, bowlers. The previous night, when DC played SRH, almost 450 runs were scored on this pitch. However, considering the Gujarat Titans’ lethal spin trio and their recent outstanding performance versus Gujarat, this match could not see as many runs scored. However, it appears that this strip will present a lot of opportunities for runs. The weather for the evening is looking fantastic.

Pitch Report:

The Delhi Capitals’ home stadium, Arun Jaitley Stadium, will host the game. Delhi, the hosts, will be fired up after having to wait until their eighth game to play on their home field.

Toss: To Bat

Toss is not very important if the pitch used in this game is anything like the one we saw in the match between SRH and DC. If there isn’t much dew, the chasing team won’t have an unfair edge, therefore choosing to bat first after winning the toss might also be a wise move.
