TEAMS PREVIEW

Gujarat Titans Preview

Hardik Pandya's team is living up to the defending champions' tag. They come to this contest with a comfortable 7-wicket victory against the Kolkata Knight Riders. With this win, the side has 12 points and sits on the top of the points table. They will look to continue with this dominance and exploit the lack of form in the Delhi Capitals' camp.  

Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill are delivering good starts, and the pair will look to milk Delhi's rusty bowling attack. Hardik Pandya, Sai Sudarshan, and David Miller have all made runs in the middle order, which makes the side confident. They have depth in the batting line-up, and they will expect runs from Rahul Tewatia, Vijay Shankar, and Rashid Khan.  

On the bowling front, the side has done well, and they will need a good spell from Mohammad Shami and Hardik Pandya with the new ball. The side will expect a good show from Rashid Khan and Joshua Little in the middle overs. Mohit Sharma and Noor Ahmed will look to do well in the supporting role.

Delhi Capitals Preview

Two wins in 8 eight games are all that David Warner and his side have. Their 9-run loss against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game has nearly sealed their fate, and they can't qualify for the next round. Key players have been in poor form, and the side needs to make a strong comeback in this game. Warner would like his side to show positivity in this game.  

The side will need a strong start from Warner and Phillip Salt, as both players can score quick runs. Mitchell Marsh must anchor the innings in the middle order and add runs with Manish Pandey and Priyam Garg. They haven't got the lower middle order going and need runs from Sarfaraz Khan, Axar Patel, and Ripal Patel.  

The bowling attack will face a tough test in this game, and they need good spells from Instant Sharma and Anrich Nortje at the start of the game. Mukesh Kumar and Marsh must keep the scoring rate under check as the Titans' batsmen will come hard at them. Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel must use the conditions and apply pressure on the opponents.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

May 02 would see another hot and humid day in Ahmedabad, and we expect it to be another belter of a track where there would be little for the bowlers. The ball would hit the bat hard, creating several run-scoring opportunities for the batsmen. The side batting first would need 190 runs to feel comfortable.

Venue Details

Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, has been a paradise for batsmen with a flat surface and lightning-fast outfield. Batsmen can hit through the line without any fear on this surface. Fast bowlers would get some assistance in the early part of the game. Spinners have enjoyed a good run here as the ball turns sharply.  

Toss: To Bowl

The wicket has been a good one at this venue, and we have seen sides put up huge scores on the board. The track hasn't changed its character much in the second innings, and setting up a total is challenging. Hence the side that wins the toss would have little hesitation in bowling first on this surface.

GT vs DC
Winning Prediction

There seems to be no end to Delhi Capitals' woes in the tournament. They have fared poorly with the bat and the ball, and the side is down on confidence. In contrast, Gujarat Titans come here with three consecutive wins. Their top order is performing well, and playing at home, the Titans have the edge in this contest.
