The first match of Saturday’s double-header in the Indian Premier League will see the Gujarat Titans taking on the Delhi Capitals at the Narendra Modi Stadium. GT and DC are second and first in the standings, respectively - let’s get into the match prediction!
The Gujarat Titans will be hoping to bounce back here after seeing their four-match win streak brought to an end last weekend when they were beaten by six wickets by LSG.
Sai Sudharsan posted his fourth half-century in his sixth innings in that match and now sits in second place in the orange cap standings, 28 runs behind Nicholas Pooran.
Notably, GT have scored 180+ runs in each of their matches batting first. They also have the best net run rate in this year’s competition at +1.081.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Capitals come into this match off the back of the first Super Over we’ve seen this season, where they beat Rajasthan with two balls to spare.
DC have now won five of their six games in the competition. Kuldeep Yadav has been their best bowler with 11 wickets this season, while KL Rahul is the team’s leading run-scorer with 238 runs to date.
In the five previous matches between these sides, Delhi have won three, including both matches last season.
