Delhi Capitals (DC) will square off against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the seventh match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday (April 4). Notably, Delhi lost their first game to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 50 runs, whereas GT started their IPL 2023 campaign with a win against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the tournament opener.
Shubman Gill shined for Gujarat in their win against the Chennai-based team, scoring a brilliant 63 off 36 deliveries. Meanwhile, Rashid Khan and Mohammed Shami were the best of the bowlers for GT, picking up two wickets each for their side.
On the other hand, David Warner turned out to be the lone warrior for DC in their game against LSG and scored 56 off 48 balls. However, despite Warner’s resilient knock, Delhi lost the contest. While DC will seek to register their first win in the 16th edition of the tournament when they face GT on Tuesday, the Hardik Pandya-led side will look to continue their dominance.
