DC vs GT Head-to-head Stats

The Delhi Capitals and the Gujarat Titans have played four matches against each other. The spoils are shared between the two teams, as both have won a couple of games. 

The Titans will be looking to forget their nightmarish performance against the Capitals in the 32nd match of IPL 2024. They batted first in the game and were put to the test by the Capitals' pacers. Rashid Khan's 31-run innings helped them reach a total of 89 runs before being bundled out in the 18th over. 

The Capitals came out to bat with the intention of getting across the line as soon as possible. Even though they lost four wickets, they were able to reach the target in just 8.5 overs. 

This will be a chance for the Titans to avenge their humiliating defeat from the previous game and collect two points to stay alive in the tournament. On the other hand, the Capitals have suffered a defeat against the Sunrisers in their last outing and they will be eager to bounce back with a good show in this game. 

DC vs GT Pitch Report

Only one match has been played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in IPL 2024 so far. The wicket looked like a flat deck, and it was evident as 465 runs were scored in 39.1 overs. The same could be expected in this game, with the batters mostly dominating the proceedings. The bowler need to be impeccable with their lines and lengths to be successful.

DC vs GT Fantasy Cricket Tips

Delhi Capitals Heavy Fantasy XI

• The top order of the DC team, with Prithvi Shaw, David Warner and Jake-Fraser McGurk, is looking pretty strong. They will enjoy the Arun Jaitley wicket in the power plays and could be a vital factor for DC in this match. 
• Kuldeep Yadav looked great in the last game. Khaleel Ahmed has also done a decent job with the ball in IPL 2024. These two bowlers will be the most important choices from the DC bowling attack. 

Gujarat Titans Heavy Fantasy XI

• Shubman Gill has been the Titans' highest run-scorer in IPL 2024. B Sai Sudharsan has also consistently scored runs in this tournament. Alongside the two batters, Wriddhiman Saha and David Miller could also be good choices from the DC batting. 
• Khaleel Ahmed has been doing a decent job for DC in all stages of the game. Kuldeep Yadav also looked delicate in the rhythm of the previous match. Ahmed and Yadav could be your trump cards for the fantasy contests. 

DC vs GT Winner Prediction

Both DC and GT have been pretty inconsistent with their cricketing displays in the tournament. However,  we can expect a closer game than the one that these two teams played when they last met. The team fielding first will have a slight advantage in the game. 

DC vs GT Top Player Picks

Rishabh Pant (DC)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 254 Runs in 8 Matches

Shubman Gill (GT)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 298 Runs in 8 Matches
