The Indian Premier League (IPL 2023), has started on a great knot as teams are battling with intense spirit and it’s really hard to predict the winners of the matches. As matches are going till the very last bowl of the game.
The fans are pretty excited to witness the epic clash between the 2 powerhouses Delhi and Gujarat, as both teams have potential match winners who can change the course of the match in their team’s favour.
DC vs GT Head-to-Head Records
The two sides have played just 1 match, where the Gujarat Titans enjoy a good record over the Delhi Capitals as they have defeated them in the sole match played so far.
DC vs GT Match Venue and Records
The match between the 2 sides is to be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on 4th April 2023. The pitch supports spinners, as the wicket is expected to slow down and spinners will have the upper hand here.
DC vs GT Key Players Battle
1. Mohammed Shami vs. Prithvi Shaw:
To help DC get off to a strong start against Mumbai, Prithvi Shaw made a nice cameo. Shaw makes sure to score quickly when he shoots, eliminating any run rate equation that may have been present.
His goal should be to start the team off strong against GT as well. But Mohammed Shami, a Gujarati pacer, might present him with a serious challenge right away. KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock, and Manish Pandey were all dismissed by the Indian medium-pacer against LSG. Shami will try to return to Shaw early as well.
2. Axar Patel vs. Hardik Pandya:
Against Lucknow, GT captain Hardik Pandya showed flashes of his past self. To give the innings and his team some momentum, he played some fantastic, aggressive strokes. The team eventually benefited from it as they went on to win the competition.
He would try to build on the IPL’s strong start. Axar Patel’s skill will test Pandya in the middle overs. In the previous game, the left-arm spinner was costly. He is skilful at stifling rivals, though, and he can also take crucial wickets. Hardik is without a doubt one.
3. Rovman Powell vs Lockie Ferguson
Powell is a powerful batsman from the West Indies. He was chosen because of his ability to hit hard, and he would be eager to show that ability. Powell lost to Mumbai for a duck, so he is eager to make amends.
He is capable of obliterating opponents if he gets going. Therefore, if the West Indian gets a chance to play GT, he would want to make a lasting impression. Lockie Ferguson, who plays for Gujarat, has the extra speed to trouble him and also throws yorkers that crush the toes. There could be a difference of 20–30 runs depending on how this battle plays out.
