Gujarat Titans (GT) meet Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 32 of IPL 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, April 17. GT have had a mixed campaign, winning three matches and losing as many, while Delhi have been disappointing, winning only two of their six games.

Meanwhile, after suffering two consecutive losses, Delhi Capitals returned to winning ways with a six-wicket triumph over Lucknow Super Giants in an away contest.
Bowling first, DC did well to restrict Lucknow to 167-7 as Kuldeep Yadav claimed 3-20. Debutant Jake Fraser-McGurk (55 off 35) and skipper Rishabh Pant (41 off 24) then starred in the chase as Delhi got home in 18.1 overs.

Today's GT vs DC pitch report
Pitch 4 is being used for the first time in this year’s IPL. Simon Katich says that it’s 100 percent black soil, so it should come onto the bat. He also points out that there’s not as much grass as pitch 6, but the batting conditions are still going to be very good. There shouldn’t be too much turn, Katich adds.
