Here are some of the best bets for this Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals IPL match.
Sai Sudharsan has shown ridiculous consistency with the bat in the IPL, averaging over 48. The left-hand batter has scored 329 runs this season at a strike rate of 151. He has registered four half-centuries in six innings, and you can expect him to keep it up.
Delhi Capitals’ top order hasn’t fired at full potential. Gujarat Titans boast an outstanding top three in Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler. You can back them to score more runs in the powerplay.
Kuldeep Yadav has been sensational in this tournament. The left-arm wrist spinner has taken 11 wickets from six games at an excellent economy of 6.04. Given the kind of form he’s in, expecting Kuldeep to pick at least one wicket seems reasonable.
The pitches here in Ahmedabad are generally excellent for batting. They offer good bounce and not much assistance for spinners. Fast bowlers can get good movement with the new ball. The venue has hosted 22 IPL matches since 2022, with the average batting first score of 185. In two games played here this season, the team batting first has posted 196 and 217.

These two teams have competed against each other five times in the IPL. Delhi Capitals clinched three of those matches, whereas Gujarat Titans came out on top twice.
The Shubman Gill-led side has won four out of six matches in the season and has the best net run-rate (1.081) among all teams. Their four-match winning streak came to an end in the previous game, where they lost to Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets.
Batting first, Shubman Gill made 60 runs off 38 balls while Sai Sudharsan scored 56 off 37. The rest of the line-up couldn’t capitalise, but Titans still managed 180 on the board. They should’ve defended the total, but some fielding errors cost them big. Prasidh Krishna was the pick of the bowlers with two for 26 in four overs.
Possible XII: Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Washington Sundar, Sherfane Rutherford, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan, R Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.
Delhi Capitals are sitting at the top of the table with 10 points from six games, winning five and losing once. In the previous game, they defeated the Rajasthan Royals in a thrilling super-over finish. Abishek Porel started with 49 off 37, but the innings had stalled a bit. Axar Patel provided the acceleration with 34 off 14 balls while Tristan Stubbs hit 34 off 18 balls.
Mitchell Starc was the hero with the ball, sending yorkers relentlessly and defending nine runs in the final over. In the super over, he conceded 12 runs, which KL Rahul and Stubbs chased in four balls.
If Faf du Plessis passes the fitness test, he should replace Jake Fraser-McGurk in this game.
Possible XII: Faf du Plessis, Abishek Porel, Karun Nair, KL Rahul (wk), Axar Patel (c), Tristan Stubbs, Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Mukesh Kumar.
