Gujarat Titans take on Delhi Capitals in match 32 of IPL 2024 on April 17 from 7.30 pm IST. This is the first game between the two sides. Both teams will play twice this season.
GT have had a topsy-turvy campaign so far with three wins and as many losses. They are placed sixth heading into this game. They are yet to win back-to-back games and for some sort of consistency going.
Shubman Gill scored 72 with the bat and led the run-chase against Rajasthan Royals as GT became the first team to beat Rajasthan Royals at their home ground.
The win should give them confidence moving forward in the tournament. As a side, they are already missing Mohammed Shami due to an injury.
To make matters worse, they will now miss David Miller due to a hamstring niggle for at least two weeks. Miller has missed the last three games for the Titans.
