Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Predictions: Gill's body language has changed

Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans are going head to head in the Match 40 of Indian Premier League at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Central Delhi, India on 24 April, 2024. Gill's body language has changed and it's giving dividends to Gujarat. Who will win this game of cricket?

Delhi Capitals form

After being beaten by SRH batsmen in the last game, the Delhi bowling unit may be feeling unsettled. Except for Axar Patel, all bowlers from the DC team struggled and were hit hard. Among them, left-arm opening bowler Khaleel Ahmed had a particularly bad day with an economy rate of 17 runs per over. Despite this, the Delhi batsmen, especially Aussie Jake Fraser McGurk, played aggressively and kept up with the required run rate. Prithvi Shaw made a strong start before getting out, while Abhishek Porel stepped up after taking some time to settle in. Rishabh Pant also contributed some valuable runs towards the end, but Delhi still lost by a significant margin.

Delhi has a lot of room for improvement both in batting and bowling, and they need to start winning games quickly if they want to stay in the competition.

Delhi Capitals Predicted Lineup

David Warner, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar. Impact Player: Prithvi Shaw.

Gujarat Titans form

During the chase against Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans' batsmen controlled the game for the most part, with a few exceptions where they lost wickets quickly. Gill (35 off 29) and Sai Sudarshan (31 off 34) stabilized the innings after Saha's dismissal, adding 41 runs for the second wicket before Gill got out. Miller failed to score and departed swiftly, exposing the middle order which was untested. However, Tewatia and Shah Rukh Khan batted sensibly to inch closer to the target. Eventually, they easily secured victory with plenty of deliveries left.

Sai Kishore, the tall left-arm spinner, made a significant impact on his return by picking up crucial wickets against Punjab Kings, along with Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed. The trio bowled well in tandem, taking 7 wickets for just 68 runs in 12 overs. The spinners capitalized on the favorable conditions to restrict Punjab Kings to a below-par total, paving the way for success for Gujarat Titans.

Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill (c), David Miller, Azmatullah Omarzai, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Noor Ahmad, Sandeep Warrier, Mohit Sharma. Impact Player: Sai Sudarshan
