DC vs GT Prediction: Capitals to edge low-scoring Delhi contest

Delhi Capitals play host to Gujarat Titans at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Match 14 of the 2026 Indian Premier League on Wednesday (15:00, Sky Sports Cricket). It's a crucial clash for the visitors after back-to-back defeats against Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals left them as one of three winless teams.

Delhi, who have failed to make the play-offs for the past four years, will bid to strengthen their top‑four credentials after completing successful run chases against Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians in their first two games.

Delhi are expected to stick with the same core that delivered a convincing win over Mumbai on Saturday.

Pathum Nissanka opens alongside high-profile signing KL Rahul, with South African duo David Miller and Tristan Stubbs floating around the middle order.

Captain Axar Patel and fellow India international Kuldeep Yadav headline the spin options, with Lungi Ngidi able to bowl in all phases with his variety of cutters and slower balls.

Gujarat, meanwhile, are set to make one change as they search for the right balance.

Captain Shubman Gill missed Saturday's defeat in Ahmedabad with a muscle spasm but stand-in skipper Rashid Khan said he should be fine to play in this game.

Jos Buttler could move up to open alongside Sai Sudharsen with Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar and Rahul Tewatia forming the middle order, while Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada lead a lively pace attack alongside in-form Ashok Sharma.

DC vs GT Odds

Delhi Capitals are 4/5 to make home advantage count, while Gujarat Titans are 1/1 to claim their first win of the season.

It’s 5/6 for DC to hit the most sixes and 11/10 for the Capitals to produce the Highest Opening Partnership.

DC to win @ 4/5

Delhi look the more formidable side at this stage of the season without their top order having fully clicked.

The Capitals have had near perfect couple of games with the ball, bowling the Super Giants out for 141 in Lucknow before restricting Mumbai’s vaunted batting order to just 162.

At the age of 22, Sameer Rizvi has come of age with the bat and hammered a sparkling 91 off 51 balls in the impact player's role on Saturday.

GT, by contrast, have been inconsistent with the bat and often put under pressure in the field.

They allowed strong positions to slip in both innings against Rajhasthan and failed to pick up any points again.

With DC’s pace attack in good rhythm and Kuldeep thriving on home surfaces, the hosts look well‑placed to take the points.

Under 364.5 total match runs @ 5/6

The Arun Jaitley Stadium has produced mixed scoring conditions in recent seasons. While the boundaries are short, the surface often grips as the match progresses, particularly in afternoon fixtures.

The average first‑innings score in Delhi across the last two IPL campaigns sits just below 170 and only one of the last six matches here has crossed a combined total of 360 runs.

If either side loses early wickets - a common theme for GT - the scoring rate can stall quickly. The under looks the more sensible play.
