GT vs DC Dream11 Prediction: Gujarat Titans will be eyeing back-to-back wins as they host Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match at Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday evening. The match is scheduled to start at 07:30 PM (IST).
A narrow 3-wicket win in the last match against Rajasthan Royals ended GT’s two-game losing streak. Those defeats came against Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants, where GT struggled to perform as a cohesive unit.
Led by Shubman Gill‘s impressive 89* off 48 balls, GT posted a daunting total of 199/4 against PBKS. However, the bowlers couldn’t defend the total, leading to a disappointing loss.
In the subsequent game, GT’s batsmen faltered after restricting LSG to 163/5. Despite the bowlers’ efforts, the 2022 champions managed only 130 in response. These defeats may haunt Shubman Gill and his team, given that they threw away games from favorable positions.
Nevertheless, GT remains in a favorable position in the IPL rankings. Their win against RR improved their season record to 3 wins and 3 defeats in six games. A victory here could propel them into the top four.
However, it won’t be easy for the hosts, as the visitors are buoyed by their recent win against Lucknow Super Giants. DC’s season was on a downward spiral before defeating KL Rahul’s team.
Despite sitting second from the bottom, DC is only two points behind 5th-placed LSG. The table is tightly contested, and a win here could set Delhi on an upward trajectory.

GT vs DC Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: GT posted 199/4 and still lost the match as Punjab Kings chased the target down. In the other match, GT restricted Sunrisers Hyderabad to 162/8 and easily chased the target in 19.1 overs. It’s clear that the pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium offers more assistance to the batters, but there’s enough for the bowlers as well.
If the team batting first doesn’t score more than 180 runs, then the team chasing should be in the front position to win the match.
Weather Report: With the summers peaking in India, temperature continues to soar with each passing day. In fact, the forecast for Wednesday indicate that the highest temperature could reach as high as 42°C during the day. But the conditions should cool down a little bit in the evening, with the temperature dropping to around 35°C – 38°C when the match commences.
No rain is expected on the match day while the humidity level is likely to remain below 30%. So expect a full game with no disturbance from the clouds.
