Defending champions Gujarat Titans will lock horns against Delhi Capitals in the 44th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Tuesday. Gujarat Titans have once again checked the right boxes in the ongoing season and they will be looking to continue their domination against beleaguered Delhi Capitals.
The reigning champions are on a roll as they have won their last three matches and they look all set to qualify for the playoff stages, after having won six out of the eight matches they have played. The Hardik Pandya-led team sit pretty at the top of the points table and they will looking to continue the good show.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have failed to find any kind of impetus in the ongoing season. DC had got off to a torrid start as they lost their first five matches. They were able to get a glimmer of hope after winning their two matches against KKR and SRH but then lost their previous game against the Orange Army in the reverse fixture.
Mitchell Marsh had delivered with both bat and ball in the last game as he had scalped four wickets and also scored a fifty but his all-round heroics went in vain.
When these two teams had met earlier in the season, GT had won by six wickets.
Match Prediction: Gujarat Titans will enter the contest as red-hot favorites against bleak Delhi Capitals.
