Delhi Capitals will face Gujarat Titans in the reverse fixture to be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi on 24th April 2024. The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi promises to be a batting paradise with shorter boundaries.
This will be the reverse fixture as Delhi Capitals registered 6 6-wicket win over Gujarat Titans at Ahmedabad. Both teams would be looking to register a victory to stay alive in the tournament.
Both teams have quality players who can change the course of the game with their abilities.
Here we look at the 3 player battles to look out for in match number 40 between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans:
- Shubman Gill vs Ishant Sharma
Shubman Gill looked impressive in the previous match against Punjab Kings. He made 35 runs and helped Gujarat Titans to chase down 143. On the other hand, Ishant Sharma did not feature in playing XI due to back spasms.
Ishant Sharma got rid of Gill for just 8 runs when these two teams met at Ahmedabad. It promises to be an exciting encounter between Ishant Sharma and Gill in the first six overs which might decide the fate of the match.
Ishant would be looking to prove his worth by dismissing Gill again to put pressure back on the GT batting lineup.
- David Miller vs Kuldeep Yadav
David Miller had a poor outing for Gujarat Titans dismissed by Liam Livingstone. On the other hand, Kuldeep Yadav conceded 55 runs but took 4 wickets in his 4 overs that restricted SRH.
Miller would be looking to showcase his skills against Kuldeep Yadav in the middle overs. Kuldeep Yadav has dismissed Miller twice in six encounters and would be hoping to do the same when these players meet during today’s encounter in a good batting paradise in New Delhi.
- Rashid Khan vs Pant
Rashid Khan will face off against Rishabh Pant for the second time this season. Pant looked impressive against Rashid at Ahmedabad not allowing them to settle by finishing off the job for Delhi Capitals. Pant struggled in the previous match, scoring 44 but was not able to hit big shots.
On the other hand, Rashid Khan had a good spell, picking 1 for 15 in 4 overs. It will be an interesting battle in the middle overs which might decide the fate of the game.
Both players would play a key role in helping to register victories for their respective teams and stay alive in the tournament.
