Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals, MCA Stadium. This is the first time when GT will play one of the regular IPL teams. GT outperformed KL Rahul's LSG in the first match and now Hardik Pandya's GT is ready to clash with Delhi Capitals.

GT has their strength in the bowling area. Mohammad Shami bowled exceptionally in the game against LSG, taking 3 wickets. Alongside Shami, Ferguson bowled firey spell. A point to consider is Rashid Khan's economy rate of just 5.71 against DC. He might dismiss six batters tonight to complete his 100 IPL wickets early. Concerning area for GT is their batting. Gill's strike rate and Shankar's poor form with the bat is major concern right now. It is likely that batting order might shuffle in this game.

DC now has Lungi Ngidi and Mustafizur Rahman available for selection. No other significant changes are expected in the DC squad. Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel's heroic run chase shown depth and strength of DC's batting.
