Preview
Gujarat Titans will lock horns against Delhi Capitals in the 32th match of the IPL 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Following a big win against Rajasthan Royals in a last-ball thriller, Gujarat Titans managed to save themselves from suffering their third straight defeat on the bounce. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals are coming off a strong win against Lucknow Super Giants away from home, ensuring that they didn’t lose three matches in a row in the IPL 2024.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the Narendra Modi Stadium have been very good for the batters in the IPL 2024, and more so when the dew has arrived at the venue, making it difficult for the bowlers to keep the hold of the ball. The average first innings score of 170 at this venue in the IPL, could be a very hard total for either GT or DC to defend, especially if the dew makes its presence felt.
Team Analysis
Gujarat Titans
Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan are two of the most in-form batters of the Gujarat Titans lineup at the top of the order, but the rest of the batters haven’t found much consistency this IPL 2024, which is why the absence of David Miller is a big loss for the team. In the bowling side of things, the spin bowling duo from Afghanistan, Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad, have picked up wickets at decent economy rates, but the rest of the bowlers for GT haven’t quite been able to replicate those performances.

Shubman Gill (c), David Miller, Matthew Wade, Wriddhiman Saha, Kane Williamson, Abhinav Manohar, B. Sai Sudharsan, Darshan Nalkande, Vijay Shankar, Jayant Yadav, Rahul Tewatia, Noor Ahmad, Sai Kishore, Rashid Khan, Joshua Little, Mohit Sharma, Azmatullah Omarzai, Umesh Yadav, Shahrukh Khan, Sushant Mishra, Kartik Tyagi, Manav Suthar, Spencer Johnson, Sandeep Warrier, BR Sharath.

Delhi Capitals
On his IPL debut, the Australian batter, Jake Fraser-McGurk scored a fifty, to help Delhi Capitals chase down a competitive score against Lucknow Super Giants, adding depth to the team’s batting resources. The bowling attack strengthened massively for DC with the return of Kuldeep Yadav from injury in the IPL 2024, picking up three crucial wickets versus LSG to restrict them to a total which his team managed to overhaul comfortably later on.
