DC vs GT

KL Rahul unleashed a blistering 112 off 65 balls as Delhi Capitals set Gujarat Titans a target of 199 at Arun Jaitley Stadium. It was his fifth century of the season and made history by becoming the first batter ever to score hundreds for three different IPL teams.

KL shared an unbroken 207-run partnership with Abhishek Porel who scored 30 runs off 19 balls – keeping Delhi Capitals’ hopes alive!

IPL history saw its highest ever successful 10-wicket chase. DC were no longer eligible to make the playoffs while GT now have solidified their place among the top four; MI and SRH are tied on 10 points each now and two games behind GT in third.

Shubman Gill and B Sai Sudharsan of GT’s opening pair kept their nerves steady by amassing an unbeaten 205-run partnership in 19 overs to give themselves a significant edge heading into playoffs. While patience was required initially, once they got started there was no stopping them!

Delhi captain AXAR PATEL expressed that 199 was an acceptable total to defend on this pitch, although his bowlers gave away 15-20 runs. PATEL wanted his side to head into the Qualifiers with maximum momentum.

He noted that they need to start making preparations for when Jos Buttler departs for the World Cup on May 30, which could necessitate hiring a specialist goalkeeper.

The skipper also highlighted the role of his batting pair. He stressed they weren’t afraid of taking on more responsibility and trusted themselves to deliver results. While he was excited to see them reach qualification status on paper, they still needed two wins more to guarantee it.

Rahul reached his fifty off 33 balls when he hit a full toss from Mohammed Siraj over square leg for four and reached it off 33 balls. To celebrate, he looked set for another six off spinner Prasidh Krishna but instead managed only an incomplete six that flew past short third man and ended up at the boundary instead.

Predictions

On Sunday, Arun Jaitley Stadium will play host to an IPL match between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans that could determine which team gets into the playoffs. DC currently hold third position with 16 points from 11 matches played; one win away from reaching top two, while GT are comfortably second on 17 points with 12 games to go.

DC spinner Axar Patel will likely play a pivotal role, having made an impressive impression so far this season – collecting five wickets during league stage play while supporting his partner Kuldeep Yadav admirably.

Ashutosh Sharma and Dushmanta Chameera will be among the notable additions for DC, who have suffered due to injuries and foreign player withdrawals in recent times. While Mitchell Starc may still be unavailable due to international duty for Bangladesh, Faf du Plessis’ return and Mustafizur Rahman’s arrival should boost DC’s chances of success.

Schedule

Table-toppers Delhi Capitals (DC) will look to make it three victories in a row when they take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in this high-profile top-of-the-table encounter. Mitchell Starc may miss, but DC have left-arm quick Mustafizur Rahman who excels at death overs.

GT will look to build on their 205 run partnership between Shubman Gill and B Sai Sudharsan against a DC bowling unit which has shown much promise but still needs consistency against a DC bowling unit which has shown some promising signs. Both teams could clinch playoff spots by winning just once!
