Delhi Capitals take on Gujarat Titans in match 32 of IPL 2024 on Wednesday, April 17. The match starts at 7.30 pm IST and this is a crucial game for both the teams, more so for the Capitals who are 9th in the table.
The Capitals come into this game on the back of an away win against the Lucknow Super Giants. They chased down 168 with overs to spare and got two crucial points.
It was almost a clinical game for the Capitals. His bowling came alongside the return of Kuldeep Yadav, who missed the last three games due to injury. He took wickets in the middle and the pacers also played the role of him.
As a team, they will back the same XI to hit it out of the park and claim another victory. The initial combination of Prithvi Shaw and David Warner hasn’t quite worked out so far and they would want runs from those two.
DC will miss Mitchell Marsh for the rest of the season. In this article, we predict Delhi Capitals playing XI for their match against Gujarat Titans.
