In the upcoming clash between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Titans (GT), DC aims to settle the score after suffering a heavy loss in their last meeting. Earlier this season, DC displayed exceptional performance against GT, bundling them out for just 89 runs. Kuldeep Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed played crucial roles in securing DC’s most dominant victory this season.
However, GT enters this match with renewed vigor after a hard-fought win against Punjab Kings (PBKS). Despite a struggling top order, a brilliant knock from Rahul Tewatia sealed a much-needed victory for GT. The team will need to be cautious of DC’s potent spin duo, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel, who have been exceptional this season.
DC and GT have a 2-2 record in their previous four encounters, with both DC wins coming in Ahmedabad. Head coach Ricky Ponting has hinted at potentially including Ishant Sharma in DC’s bowling lineup for his experience. GT, on the other hand, is likely to retain their winning combination from the PBKS game.
The match will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, where conditions are expected to be favorable for batting, similar to the recent DC vs SRH game. However, if swing aids the bowlers initially, the contest could become even more intriguing.
