Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans

The Delhi Capitals will hope for a better outing at home than their last game as they prepare to host the Gujarat Titans. Both teams will search for consistency ahead of this match #40 of the IPL 2024 campaign at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday.

Delhi and Gujarat are both guilty of being inconsistent in the season, and a win here will push them into playoff reckoning. I am a little skeptic about backing either team, but looking at the Capitals scoring the most 6s in the match,.

Delhi Capitals have hit the most 6s of the match in 4 of their last 8 games (IPL)
Gujarat Titans have conceded the most 6s in their last 7 matches (IPL)
Gujarat Titans average only 3.6 sixes per match in this season, the lowest such tally (IPL)
Delhi Capitals have won their last 2 matches against Gujarat (IPL)

Head to Head

This will be the fifth match between Delhi and Gujarat in the IPL, with both teams winning two matches each. The last two matches were won by the Capitals.

That included a six-wicket win in Ahmedabad when the sides met last week. The Titans batted first to score a meager 89 all out in 17.3 overs, with only Rashid Khan (31) scoring more than 12. The chase was a breeze, with the Capitals taking just 8.5 overs to overcome the Titans.

The Capitals are in the bottom three with six points, having won three of their eight matches. They have won two of their last three matches, although they lost their last.

It was a comprehensive loss for the Capitals against Hyderabad last time out, where the Sunrisers scored 266 for 7 and then restricted Delhi to 199. Kuldeep Yadav took 4 for 55 to be Delhi’s best bowler, while Jake Fraser-McGurk’s 65 off 18 and Rishabh Pant’s 44 off 35 delayed the inevitable.

Rishabh Pant (254) and Tristan Stubbs (199) have been the leading lights with the bat for Delhi, while Kuldeep Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed have been their best bowlers with ten wickets each.

Ishant Sharma missed Delhi’s last game due to a last-minute back spasm. He could be back in the reckoning for this match. Lalit Yadav had a game to forget, and Delhi may look at giving another batter a chance here.

Gujarat Titans Form

The Gujarat Titans have eight points from eight matches, with four wins and losses each. They have two wins from their last three games, with the only defeat coming against the Capitals.

The Titans won against Punjab by three wickets in their last match. Sai Kishore (4 for 33) excelled with the ball to restrict Punjab to 142 all out. The chase went a bit hot and cold, but 30s from Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Rahul Tewatia gave them the win.

Gill (298) and Sudharsan (269) continue to be the batting lynchpins for Gujarat, while they struggle with the ball. Only Mohit Sharma (ten wickets) has taken more than eight wickets for Gujarat.

The Titans could play the same team as the last game, although Abhinav Manohar could fancy a game.

Verdict

Delhi Capitals v Gujarat Titans

The reverse fixture was a mismatch, with the game decided in the powerplay overs. The Titans would hope for a better outing this time, as a win would push them into the top four spots. I am putting my money on the aggression of the Delhi batters, backing them to score more 6s than their Titans counterparts.
