TEAM NEWS
Gujarat Titans: The Titans are only one match old in the world's toughest cricket league, but they have shown enough maturity in the win against fellow debutants Lucknow Super Giants. It was a tricky chase but they reached the target of 159 runs with two balls to spare. But up against a more experienced side like Delhi Capitals, they can't afford close matches, at least for now under an untested captain.
Titans will hope for their star players to keep the momentum. Pacer Mohammed Shami was brilliant, even though skipper Pandya was wicketless in his full quota of the spell. Opener Matthew Wade showed his class, while Pandya, David Miller and Rahul Tewatia turned up with the bat. Shubman Gill and Rashid Khan were quiet against Lucknow. They are likely to field the same XI.
Delhi Capitals: A very strong team and a very good start to the IPL 2022 season. Chasing a target of 178 runs against Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals won the match with ten balls to spare. But it wasn't that smooth of a match. Delhi bowlers struggled despite Kuldeep Yadav producing a man-of-the-match-winning performance (3/18).
The chase got off to a good start with openers Prithvi Shaw and Tim Seifert scoring 38 and 21, but the middle-order failed to spark. It was all-rounders Shardul Thakur and Axar Patel, who bailed out at the end. Lungi Ngidi, Mustafizur Rahman and Sarfaraz Khan have already joined the team, but the team will still miss the services of David Warner, Mitchell Marsh and Anrich Nortje. All match-winners. Kamlesh Nagarkoti likely to make way for either Mushtafizur Rahman or Lungi Ngidi
HEAD-TO-HEAD
This will be the first meeting between Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals.
VENUE AND PITCH
Only one match has been played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium so far this season. In that match, Rajasthan Royals piled on 210/6 then restricted Sunrisers Hyderabad to 149/7 for a 61-run win. After the match, the winning captain and player of the math, Sanju Sansom said that the pitch turned out to be a different one than what they thought it would. Hard to predict, but the was life on it.
