GT vs DC IPL 2024 Toss and Pitch Report: Pitch favours batting, low score to help bowling

In IPL 2024, Delhi Capitals face Gujarat Titans at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on April 17. Delhi comes off a strong win over Lucknow Super Giants, while Gujarat narrowly escaped a loss to Rajasthan Royals thanks to Rashid Khan’s performance.

The Toss

Ahmedabad witnessed initial scores of 168 and 162 when teams batted first, but the figure rose to 199 during Titans’ match against Punjab Kings. The last two matches saw the chasing team emerge victorious, with the first one resulting in a narrow six-run defeat. Hence, the toss-winning team is likely to opt for bowling first. At Ahmedabad, the Gujarat Titans have an enviable record. They won more matches in their home ground.

The Pitch

Renowned for its high-scoring encounters, this stadium usually witnesses scores nearing 200 runs. Considering the pitch’s favourability towards batsmen, any total below that presents a valuable chance for the bowling side.

The Weather

Hot and dry evening ahead! Expect temperatures around 35°C (feels like 34°C) with low humidity (22%) and no rain.

Gujarat Titans (GT) face Delhi Capitals (DC) in a high-stakes IPL encounter at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium (April 17, 7:30 PM IST). Both teams, languishing near the bottom, need wins to improve their standings and negative Net Run Rate (NRR). GT, despite a recent win against Rajasthan Royals, has injury concerns with David Miller and Wriddhiman Saha.

Shubman Gill and Rashid Khan were their key performers. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, chased down Lucknow Super Giants’ target with ease, with Rishabh Pant and debutant Jake Fraser-McGurk scoring half-centuries. Kuldeep Yadav’s return boosted their bowling attack, but Mitchell Marsh’s injury is a blow. This clash promises to be a battle for survival as both teams look to turn their season around.
