Delhi Capitals lost their previous match against Lucknow Super Giants while Gujarat Titans come into the encounter with a win in their previous match against Chennai Super Kings.
The seventh match of IPL 2023 will be between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday, April 4. Defending champions Gujarat Titans will be looking to register their second win of the season, while Delhi Capitals’ David Warner, led by them, is reportedly looking to claim victory, after losing in their previous game.
Gujarat Titans, who faced Chennai Super Kings in the season opener of IPL 2023, managed by Hardik Pandya, picked up where they left off in 2022 and won the opener. They will now face Delhi Capitals, who are coming off a loss to Lucknow Super Giants.
In the absence of Rishabh Pant, the Delhi Capitals lost their first game of IPL 2023. Despite the absence of a big name in Pant, Delhi still has a plethora of talent in its roster. It would be interesting to see how they fare against the defending champions.

DC vs GT Pitch Report:
The surface of Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is generally slower; the first-side hitter would look for a high total due to the fast outfield. Spinners could take advantage of the slow pitch, but it’s expected to be a hitter-friendly surface, and a high-scoring thriller can be expected.

DC vs GT Probable Best Performers
Shubman Gill:
Indian star hitter Shubman Gill is expected to return for the Gujarat Titans and perform exceptionally with the bat at the top of the batting order. Gill scored 63 points on 36 deliveries in his previous game. Hence, he would like to continue his sublime run of being the best hitter in the game against Delhi Capitals.
Probable Best Bowler
Rashid Khan:
Ace Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan took two wickets and conceded just 26 runs in the four overs he played in Gujarat’s game against Chennai. Rashid’s performances could be key for Gujarat in their title defense, and he should also be at his best in his next game.
