The 2022 Indian Premier League champions Gujarat Titans will host the Delhi Capitals at the the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad today.
The fixture in Ahmedabad will be the first one of Saturday's double header.
GT and DC are flying high as the duo occupy positions at the top of the table. The home side is third in the standings, with 8 points from their 6 games while the touring side is sitting pretty at the top of the table with 10 points from their 6 games.
The form guide for both teams are identical as both GT and DC have 4 wins from their last 5 fixtures. However, DC has won its previous match while GT enter this fixture on the back of a 6-wicket loss away to Lucknow Super Giants.
The rivalry between these sides is at a nascent stage as the two sides have faced each other only 5 times in the IPL ever since GT's inception in 2022. GT has 2 wins to its name while DC has 3.
The last time the two teams met, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in 2024, DC came out on top by 4 runs in a high scoring thriller.
