New Delhi, April 24: Both sides have played eight matches so far in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Interestingly, the two teams looked in total control at times, and have also allowed the opposition to run away with surprise wins from their claws on a few occasions.
In pen and paper, they appear evenly matched with some world class match-winners in their sides. While Gujarat Titans (GT) this season are being led by young Shubman Gill, Delhi Capitals (DC) are elated to get back their regular captain Rishabh Pant, who almost got a new life after the fatal 2022 car accident.
Both DC and GT have played eight matches so far in IPL 2024. Gujarat have four wins, while Delhi have emerged victorious on three occasions.
When they face each other on Wednesday, at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, both teams would be eager to win and earn two points to avoid mid-table congestion in future.
In their previous match last week, DC registered a six-wicket win over GT. The two teams have met 4 times in the tournament.
