Updated - 24 Apr 2024, 07:14 PM
Delhi Capitals (DC) will be taking on Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 40th game of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) on Wednesday (April 24). The match is being played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Both teams are currently languishing in the bottom half of the IPL 2024 points table and cannot afford more slip-ups if they are looking to qualify for the playoffs. With three wins from eight games, DC are currently in the eighth spot in the points table. On the other hand, GT are in the sixth spot with four wins and as many losses.
In their last game, DC suffered a crushing 67-run loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad after conceding a mammoth total of 266. GT, on the other hand, registered a three-wicket win over Punjab Kings while chasing 143.
The upcoming meeting will be the second one between the two sides this season. The first meeting took place last week and DC won it with utmost ease. DC bowled out GT for a paltry total of 89 runs and became the first team to bowl out the Gujarat-based outfit for less than 100 runs in the IPL. With the bat, DC chased down the total in less than nine overs. DC will be eyeing another win over GT while the latter will be looking to make the most of their winning momentum.
DC vs GT: Impact players:
GT won the toss and opted to bowl first. Speaking at toss, GT captain Shubman Gill said: "We will bowl first. Looks like a good wicket, we've been chasing well in the last couple of games. Means a lot to me (on playing 100 IPL matches), have come a long way, still a long way to go, but the focus is on today's match. It's cricket, there'll always be ups and downs, you want to play the way you're good at. We're playing the same side."
DC captain Rishabh Pant said: "It's a good toss to lose, we would have batted first anyway. We just spoke at keeping things simple, just doing what we can do for a longer period of time. This wicket looks a bit slower than the last game, dew plays a big factor here, there was no dew last time, hopefully, it'll not be there tonight as well. Two changes - David Warner sits out and Hope replaces him, Sumit Kumar replaces Lalit Yadav."
