GT vs DC Team Analysis
Gujarat Titans
The Titans are heading into this match after winning against Rajasthan Royals at their fortress at the Sawai Mansingh Singh stadium chasing nearly 200.
They won the final ball of the innings. The Titans favor chasing and have won 16 out of the 22 matches in the IPL. They are looking for consistent and back-to-back wins.
Delhi Capitals
DC played a near-perfect game against LSG chasing down 160-odd in Lucknow. Jake Fraser-McGurk and Rishabh Pant got runs and their bowling attack restricted LSG to a reasonable total. Their bowling attack looked good with the return of Kuldeep Yadav.
They missed him dearly for the three matches that he had to sit out due to injury. They will also be missing Mitchell Marsh for the remainder of the season but they have an able replacement in Jake Fraser-McGurk.
GT vs DC Key Factors
Pitch Conditions
The Ahmedabad stadium is generally a high-scoring venue and a score of around 200 is par on this wicket. Both teams like chasing and this game has all the making of a high-scoring contest.
Form and Fitness
Fitness-wise both teams have concerns. Mitchell Marsh is out with a hamstring tear and has already returned home for treatment. Miller is likely to be out for two weeks due to a hamstring injury.
Form-wise, Pant and Gill both are in the top run-getters list but the teams have not fared well so far. The Titans are placed sixth on the table while the Capitals are ninth. A loss in the next game can see them at the bottom of the table as their NRR is way lower.
Tactical Acumen
The match is expected to be decided by the spinners. Pant has the likes of Kuldeep and Axar Patel while the Titans heavily rely on Rashid Khan for wickets in the middle-order. They can add another spinner for this game in Sai Kishore.
