Delhi Capitals (DC) host Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 14 of IPL 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on Wednesday, April 8, 2026. Match starts at 7:30 PM IST (toss at 7:00 PM IST).

Form could not be more different. DC are 2-0 and sitting comfortably in the top half, powered by Sameer Rizvi’s sensational 160 runs in two matches. GT are 0-2 and stuck at the bottom, having failed to close out both their games despite getting into winning positions.
GT’s last visit to the Arun Jaitley Stadium in IPL 2025 ended in humiliation: a 10-wicket loss where Sai Sudharsan (108) and Shubman Gill (93) chased down DC’s 199 without losing a single wicket. That memory will haunt DC, but their current form suggests a very different contest tonight.

DC vs GT Head-to-Head Record in IPL
This is one of the IPL’s newest rivalries, and GT have seized the momentum after dominating both meetings last season.
| Category | Stats |
|---|---|
| Total Matches | 7 |
| GT Wins | 4 |
| DC Wins | 3 |
| GT Won Last 2 | Both in IPL 2025 (by 7 wickets and 10 wickets) |
| At Arun Jaitley Stadium | DC 1, GT 2 (3 matches) |
The most jaw-dropping stat in this rivalry: GT’s top three of Gill, Sudharsan, and Buttler scored 100% of the chase runs in both IPL 2025 victories against DC. They hunted down targets of 204 and 199 at a combined chase run-rate of 10.7 RPO. That is the highest successful chase rate against any single opponent in IPL 2025.
Axar Patel leads the DC run charts in this rivalry with 176 runs. Sai Sudharsan is GT’s top scorer with 175 runs. In bowling, Rashid Khan has 6 wickets against DC.
Current Form: How Both Teams Enter This Match
Here is the Current Form of both Teams:
Delhi Capitals (Won 2, Lost 0)
Sameer Rizvi is the story of DC’s IPL 2026. He has scored 160 runs in 2 matches, including a match-winning 90 off 51 balls against MI. He has now scored three consecutive IPL fifties (one from last season). Rizvi is currently the Orange Cap holder.
DC’s bowling has been equally impressive. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav have controlled the middle overs, while the pace unit, including Mukesh Kumar and Lungi Ngidi, has delivered at key moments. KL Rahul and the top order have not been consistent yet, so there is room for improvement.
Gujarat Titans (Won 0, Lost 2)
GT are winless and frustrated. They lost to PBKS by 3 wickets in Match 4 after posting 162/6, then fell to RR by 6 runs chasing 210, failing to score 11 off the last over.
Sai Sudharsan has been GT’s best batter with 86 runs in 2 innings, but the middle order has been the problem. Jos Buttler, Glenn Phillips, and Rahul Tewatia have all failed to make significant contributions. GT have been in winning positions both times but could not close out the games.
The pace attack of Siraj, Rabada, and Prasidh Krishna is world-class, but Gill needs to manage bowling rotations better. In the PBKS match, Siraj bowled only 2 overs and Prasidh was introduced too late.
DC vs GT: Probable Playing XIs
Here are the Probable Playing XI of both Teams:
Delhi Capitals Probable XI
KL Rahul (WK), Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana, Sameer Rizvi, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel (C), Vipraj Nigam, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Lungi Ngidi.
The Axar-Kuldeep spin combination is one of the most potent in the league. On a Delhi pitch that assists spinners as the game progresses, this duo could strangle GT’s middle order, which has already struggled this season.
Gujarat Titans Probable XI
Shubman Gill (C), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (WK), Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.
GT may consider changes. Jason Holder could come in for additional batting depth, and Glenn Phillips might bat higher if Buttler continues to underperform. The pace attack remains GT’s trump card, but they need the middle order to step up and finish games.
Key Player Battles to Watch
- Sameer Rizvi vs Rashid Khan: Rizvi has been destroying spinners this season. Rashid has 6 wickets against DC in this rivalry. If Rizvi can handle Rashid’s four overs, DC will post a big total. This is the match-defining contest.
- Kuldeep Yadav vs GT’s middle order: Buttler, Phillips, and Tewatia have all struggled this season. Kuldeep’s googlies on a turning Delhi pitch could finish them off. GT’s middle-order failures have cost them both games so far.
- Shubman Gill vs Axar Patel: Gill scored 93 in his last visit to this ground. Axar’s left-arm spin against the right-hander in the powerplay will set the early tone for GT’s innings.
Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi
The Arun Jaitley Stadium is DC’s home ground and has become synonymous with high-scoring matches. Short boundaries and a flat pitch make it a batter’s paradise under lights.
However, in DC’s previous home match this season (vs MI), the pitch offered some assistance to bowlers in the first innings, with the ball stopping on the surface. That was an afternoon game, though. Under lights, batting gets easier as the ball comes on to the bat more consistently.
Weather: Around 28-30°C, warm and slightly humid. Slight afternoon rain chance, but conditions expected to clear by evening. Dew could be a factor later, making chasing easier. Air quality in Delhi remains poor, which has been a consistent concern at this venue.
DC vs GT Match 14 Prediction
DC are strong favourites. They are 2-0, playing at home, and have the in-form Rizvi who is in the kind of touch that wins tournaments. Their spin duo of Axar and Kuldeep could exploit GT’s misfiring middle order.
GT’s pace attack is their lifeline. If Rabada and Siraj can restrict DC’s top order in the powerplay, GT’s batting might finally deliver. But asking a 0-2 team to win at a venue where they were thrashed 10 wickets down last season is a big ask.
GT need Buttler, Phillips, and Tewatia to finally fire. If even one of them produces a match-winning knock, it changes GT’s entire season trajectory.

Final Thoughts
DC vs GT at the Arun Jaitley Stadium pits form against desperation. Tune in at 7:30 PM IST on Wednesday, April 8 on Star Sports (TV) or JioHotstar (streaming).
Rizvi’s Orange Cap form, GT’s painful 10-wicket defeat at this ground last season, Kuldeep vs GT’s struggling middle order, and a Titans pace attack that needs its batters to match up. Something has to give tonight.
