GT vs DC Match Preview- IPL 2024, Match 32
Gujrat Titans
The team won their previous match against Rajasthan Royals and were the first team to defeat the Royals in their own backyard this season.
They chased down a target of almost 200 despite the absence of names like David Miller and Kane Williamson proving the batting depth of the side. Playing at home, they would like to win this game and win back-to-back games.
The Titans will continue to miss David Miller who is struggling with a hamstring niggle and will be out for two weeks. The side is already missing Mohammed Shami due to injury and there is no update on when Wriddhiman Saha will be back.

Delhi Capitals
The Capitals mastered a run-chase against Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium. They won with overs to spare, thereby boosting their NRR just a little bit.
In the words of the skipper, he was relieved for his team who came back to winning ways. The return of Kuldeep Yadav was a massive boost for the team and that did show in the match.
The Capitals will be missing Mitchell Marsh for the rest of the season. He has returned home with a hamstring tear. However, Fraser McGurk, they have an able replacement who can be given the longer run. DC needs more from Anrich Northe and Axar Patel with the ball.
