The reigning champions Gujarat Titans will take on Delhi Capitals in the 44th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Tuesday. Both of these teams find themselves at extreme ends of the points table.
While Gujarat Titans have shown that they are once again a force to reckon with and thus they are firm title contenders, Delhi Capitals have failed to find any kind of impetus. GT has won six matches and lost two whereas DC has managed only two wins in the eight matches they have played.
We take a look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.
Current form for DC: L W W L L
David Warner’s team has not been able to come up with collective efforts. Their bowling was not up to the mark against SRH and their middle order once again failed to deliver after Phillip Salt and Mitchell Marsh added 112 runs for the second wicket.
