IPL Cricket Match Prediction 2024 | Match 40 | Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans – Let’s see who will win | April 24

Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Match Analysis

The forty-first IPL 2024 match will feature the Delhi Capitals and the Gujarat Titans. On April 24, the game will take place in Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium and will kick off at 7:30 PM IST.

The Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans are both having difficulties midway through the competition. After three victories in their last eight games, Washington has to win five of their last six games to make the playoffs. With four wins in eight games, GT is in a somewhat better position. They still need to win four of their remaining six games.

Given their lackluster performances thus far, it is not shocking to see both teams struggling in the lower half of the standings. The main cause of the teams’ dismal success has been the major players’ underwhelming play. Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, and other players’ lack of runs hurt Delhi, while Gill, Miller, and Sudharsan haven’t exactly lit up the tournament for GT. Both sides have also bowled mediocrely.

Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Team Preview & Squads

Delhi Capitals

The Delhi bowling team would be a little nervous right now after getting hammered by SRH batsmen in the previous game. Except for Axar Patel, all of the DC camp’s bowlers had difficulty that day and were sent to the dry cleaners.

With a dismal economy rate of 17 runs per over, left-arm opening bowler Khaleel Ahmed was among the three bowlers—one spinner and two pacers—taken for more than fifty runs. Despite this, Delhi’s batsmen were able to stay up with the needed run rate because of the outstanding counterattacking performance of Australian phenom Jake Fraser McGurk, who smashed 65 runs in 18 balls.  

Before being removed from the game, DC’s return opener, Prithvi Shaw, got off to a strong start, hitting four straight boundaries. Abhishek Porel was slow to get going but quickly made a name for himself by setting a lot of limits. Although Rishabh Pant managed to cut the deficit to less than 60 runs with a few crucial runs in the backside, the loss was still too great.

Delhi has a lot of room for improvement in both their bat and ball game, and they are running out of time in the competition. To restart their campaign, they must string together a few victories.

Gujarat Titans

For the most portion of the chase, Gujarat Titans batters were in control of the Punjab Kings, but for a brief moment when they lost wickets in bunches. After Saha was substituted, Gill (35 off 29) and Sai Sudarshan (31 off 34) stabilized the ship. Before Gill lost his wicket, they scored 41 runs for the second wicket. Miller left the unproven middle order exposed when he left the pavilion without bothering the scorers after a short visit.

Gujarat was fortunate that Rahul Tewatia and Shah Rukh Khan united in the midst. Instead of playing crazy cricket to win the match, they were playing reasonable cricket to get near to the target. 

And when they did, they won handily and with plenty of balls left over. In terms of bowling, Sai Kishore, the lanky left-arm spinner, made significant bowling returns to put the batsmen of Punjab Kings on the back foot. Sai Kishore bowled with good control, working in combination with Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed, the Afghan spin duo.

The three spinners combined to bowl 12 overs and claimed 7 wickets for a meager 68 runs. They used the favorable conditions to their advantage to build a web of spin that kept Punjab Kings below par and set up Gujarat Titans for victory.

Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans outfield report

Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi

Given the tiny boundaries and small ground dimensions in Delhi, the toss might be very important because protecting a score could be difficult. Dew might also have an impact. 

The temperature will be in the early 30s and it will be a scorching evening. There will be a 17 percent humidity and a 16 km/h wind speed. 

The Arun Jaitley Stadium has a fantastic wicket. Over 550 runs were scored in the most recent IPL 2024 match between SRH and DC, which was also the first game played at the venue. If you are batting first, you must score at least 200.
