GT vs DC IPL 2024 Match Preview: Titans look to soar, Capitals aim for back-to-back wins in high-profile clash

Desperate Duel for Survival

The upcoming IPL 2024 fixture at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad features Gujarat Titans (GT) and Delhi Capitals (DC). Positioned in the lower half of the points table, both teams aim to enhance their standings and improve their Net Run Rate (NRR) from negative to positive.

The IPL 2024 encounter between GT and DC is scheduled at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, on April 17 at 7:30 pm IST. With six matches each, GT lost three, and DC lost four.

Gujarat Titans

The team secured a crucial victory against Rajasthan Royals, the first to defeat them at home this season. Concerns arise due to key players' absence: David Miller sidelined for two weeks with injury, and uncertainty surrounds Wriddhiman Saha's return. Shubman Gill's impressive 72, supported by Rashid Khan's vital contribution, highlighted their recent match against GT.

Delhi Capitals

The Capitals chased down the Lucknow Super Giants' target comfortably at Ekana Stadium, with Rishabh Pant and debutant Jake Fraser-McGurk both scoring half-centuries. Kuldeep Yadav's return was impactful, claiming two wickets in his first over while maintaining an economical spell. However, Mitchell Marsh's season-ending hamstring injury poses a setback for the team.

GT vs DC Head to Head
