DC vs GT Dream11 Prediction: Delhi Capitals are all set to take on Gujarat Titans in the 40th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 on Wednesday. The match will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium at 7:30 PM IST.

Delhi Capitals have struggled so far in the IPL 2024 as they sit 8th in the points table with 3 wins and 5 losses after 8 games. They lost their previous contest to Sunrsiers Hyderabad by 67 runs and now find themselves in the troubled waters. Delhi Capitals are in a do-or-die situation now as another defeat will take them closer to elimination.

On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have had a mixed run so far with 4 wins and 4 defeats in 8 matches. They are 6th in the points table and need a win here to stay in touch with the top four. The Gujarat Titans defeated Punjab Kings by 3 wickets in their previous fixture and will be eyeing back-to-back wins. However, Delhi Capitals defeated Gujarat Titans by 6 wickets in the earlier meeting in the IPL 2024 and the result will play a psychological role in today’s game.

DC vs GT, Match 40 – Who Will Win Today’s Match?

In the last few matches, Delhi Capitals have looked better despite the negative results. Furthermore, they defeated Gujarat Titans amid their string of losses. David Warner’s form is a cause of concern for the capital-based franchise and if the Aussie gets back in the form then it will be difficult for the Titans to stop the home side. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans are over-relying on Shubman Gill in the batting department. The likes of David Miller and Azmatullah Omarzai need to fire with the bat for them.
