Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans IPL Match Today: Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals will lock horns with Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi on Wednesday. The last time these two sides met the hosts humbled the visitors in Ahmedabad. The loss dented the Net Run Rate(NRR) of the Titans massively.
However, post that game GT got to winning ways with their win against Punjab Kings and the Capitals lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad in a high-scoring affair. While it is not a do-or-die game for the sides a win or loss today might determine the path their respective campaigns will take from here on.
Playing XI predictions for the DC vs GT IPL 2024 match
DC predicted XI: Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar.
Impact sub: Abishek Porel
Player to watch out for The young Australian McGurk will once again have the limelight. He has already shown with a couple of half-centuries for the Capitals that he is a clean striker of the cricket ball. If the curator in Delhi gives another batting strip like the previous game the pocket-size dynamo would be a handful to deal with for the Titans.
GT predicted XI: Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, David Miller, Azmatullah Omarzai, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, R Sai Kishore, Noor Ahmad, Mohit Sharma.
Impact sub: Sandeep Warrier
Player to watch out for David Miller is yet to hit his straps this tournament. While he has shown glimpses there has been nothing substantial from him. The injury did not help his cause either. However, the smaller boundaries at the Arun Jaitley are exactly what the South African might need to get back to his brutal range-hitting form.

Pitch report: In the previous game at the venue between DC and SRH the boundaries were flowing all around the dial. The pitch offered no swing or seam moment whatsoever. Expect it to be more or less the same. With Dew setting in as the night goes on the captain who wins the toss might opt to field first and take advantage of climatic conditions and smaller boundaries in the chase.
