GT vs DC Match Prediction: It’s a massive game between two teams looking to move closer to the top four as Gujarat Titans (GT) host Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Wednesday evening. The match will be played at Narendra Modi Stadium on April 17, 2024, from 07:30 PM (IST) onwards. Lower order batsmen saved GT in the last match, handing Rajasthan Royals their first defeat of IPL 2024 season.
Match Preview
Needing 40 runs from the last 18 balls, and with all the main batsmen back in pavilion. GT needed something extraordinary from their lower-batsman. That’s what Shubman Gill got from Rahul Teatia (22 off 11), Shahrukh Khan (14 off 8) and Rashid Khan (24 off 11), as the 2022 IPL champions ended a two-game skid.
Delhi Capitals also went into their match against the Lucknow Super Giants on the back of two consecutive defeats. Under pressure, DC bowlers made the best of the conditions, restricting LSG to a low total of 167 runs. The batsmen finished the job by chasing the target in 18.1 overs.
With that win, DC improved to 2-4 this season and can go level on points with GT with a win in this match.

The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium has always been on the slow side. During the 2023 ODI World Cup as well, slow bowlers and spinners performed better than the fast bowlers.

Punjab Kings easily chased down Gujarat’s big total of 199/4 runs, while in other game GT easily cruised past Sunrisers Hyderabad’s total of 162 runs.

GT vs DC Match Prediction: Best Batters And Bowlers
GT Probable highest scorer: Shubman Gill or Sai Sudarshan
GT’s best duo so far. They are doing the bulk of the scoring for the team with Gill scoring 255 runs across six innings, while Sudarshan managing to amass 226 runs in as many games as Gill.
Moreover, Gill picked up his form in the last few games, which is not a good sign for the opponents bowlers. The 24-year-old also like to play at Narendra Modi Stadium, and this is where this game will be played. So watch out and make sure Sai Sudarshan and Shubman Gill are on most of your GT vs DC Dream11 Fantasy Grand League Teams.

DC Probable Highest Scorer: Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs
Delhi Capitals‘ captain has scored the most runs for the team this season. Considering his quality, that’s not a surprise, but the fascinating part is that Pant was out of cricket field for more than one and a half years, and returned to competitive game only before IPL 2024. That not only shows his immense quality, but the big fight he has in him.
Tristan Stubbs is another player whose stock keeps rising after some incredible performances this season. He was released by Mumbai Indians before IPL 2023 Mini Auction, and that decision already looks like a big mistake. Stubbs has so far amassed 189 runs in 6 innings, including two 50+ scores.

GT Probable Best Bowler: Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan is already an IPL legend. His records speak for itself. He has been always in the Purple Cap race. However, this season, he made a slow start to the campaign. But the performance in the last couple of IPL games suggest that he is picking up form which is not a good sign for the opponents. The 25-year-old gave away only 18 runs in the last match against Rajasthan Royals and picked up one wicket as well.

DC Probable Best Bowler: Khaleel Ahmed
Delhi Capitals’ Achilles heal is the bowling. The average bowling performance is the main reason why Rishabh Pant’s team is second from bottom in IPL 2024. But Khaleel Ahmad has been a beacon of hope for the Delhi outfit. He has picked up 9 wickets in six games leading up to this match. He is a solid option to have in GT vs DC Dream11 Fantasy Cricket team.

Who Will Win Today IPL Match Between GT vs DC
Despite Delhi Capitals sitting second from bottom, there’s isn’t much difference between them and Gujarat Titans who are 6th on the points table. If Rishabh Pant and co. win this game, they can move above GT in the IPL power rankings, that’s how close the gap is between the two teams.
But the overall game play can’t be ignored. GT look like a more balances team than DC. In addition, the game will be played at GT’s home stadium, where Shubman Gill and co hold a good track record. We are backing GT to come out on top in this match.
Chances Of A Win
GT: 56%
DC: 44%
