IPL 2024, GT vs DC: Delhi Capitals Opt To Bowl As Gujarat Titans Seek Consistency; Check Playing XIs

Delhi Capitals (DC) will clash with Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 32nd match of the IPL 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad tonight. DC are riding high on confidence after defeating Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their previous match at the Ekana Stadium. Despite the victory, DC are striving to climb up the points table from the bottom half and improve their net run rate, currently standing at -0.975.

Two standout performers for Delhi have been youngsters Jake Fraser McGurk and Tristan Stubbs. McGurk’s impressive debut innings of 55 runs off 35 balls, including 5 sixes, showcased his talent, while Kuldeep Yadav’s stellar bowling figures of 3 for 20 runs earned him the Player of the Match award in the last game.

GT, on the other hand, are aiming for consistency to break into the top 4. Recent losses against Punjab Kings (PBKS) and LSG have hindered their progress, but a crucial win over Rajasthan has injected some momentum into their campaign.

In head-to-head encounters, Gujarat has won 2 out of the 3 matches against Delhi since their first meeting in 2022. However, Delhi emerged victorious in their previous encounter, winning by 5 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

The pitch in Ahmedabad is expected to favour batting, but teams will need to aim for a score of around 180 to give themselves a competitive edge, as demonstrated by Punjab Kings’ successful chase of 200 runs against Gujarat.
