Preview
Delhi Capitals will take on Gujarat Titans in the 40th match of the IPL 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. After suffering a big defeat at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad at home, Delhi Capitals will have to deliver a better performance to keep themselves in the mix for the top four race in the IPL. Meanwhile, the win against Punjab Kings in the previous match was vital for Gujarat Titans to consolidate their position in the middle of the IPL 2024 points table.
Pitch Report
In the first match of the IPL 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, the Sunrisers Hyderabad batters were on a rampage against Delhi Capitals, posting one of the highest totals in the history of the tournament. With that, both DC and GT need to post a big total on the board to defend, far more than the average first innings score of 166 at this venue in IPL history.
Team Analysis
Delhi Capitals
After Delhi Capitals bowlers conceded 266/7 in their first match of the IPL 2024 season at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, their batters made a good fist of things in the first half of the innings. The youngsters Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abhishek Porel were scintillating in their batting display, putting DC ahead of the required run rate at one stage of their innings, but after the fall of their wickets in quick succession, the team never recovered.

Gujarat Titans
Gujarat Titans were successful in gaining the lost momentum in the IPL 2024 after winning against Punjab Kings in away conditions, utilising it to the max with their three spinners Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, and R Sai Kishore sharing seven wickets amongst themselves. In the run chase, GT were in a bit of strife after they lost the wickets of Shubman Gill and David Miller in quick succession, but yet another inspired cameo from Rahul Tewatia helped them chase down the target with ease.

Conclusion
Delhi Capitals have struggled to deliver consistent performances right throughout the IPL 2024, which is the biggest reason why they will walk into their upcoming match as the underdogs against Gujarat Titans, despite their massive win in the reverse fixture just a couple of days ago.
