Delhi Capitals (DC) will meet Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 14th match of IPL 2026. Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi will host this game on 8th April 2026 at 7:30 PM IST. Delhi Capitals are 4th on the points table, and GT is 9th.

DC have won both games so far. Sameer Rizvi has been their best batter, and his form is a big positive. KL Rahul has been dismissed in the first over of the innings in both matches, but the fact they’ve still prevailed is a plus. Also, Pathum Nissanka showed some promise in the last game. The Capitals will expect more consistency from their middle order going ahead in the tournament. 

Mukesh Kumar and Lungi Ngidi will be their lead pacers, while T. Natarajan has also bowled well in the first two games. Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and Vipraj Nigam have been in good form as the spinners. 

GT, on the other hand, have lost their first two games of the season. They lost a tight game against the Royals by six runs and will be itching to open their account in this match. Shubman Gill is expected to be fit and Sai Sudharsan (73 runs) did well in the last game. 

Jos Buttler has looked in good touch but has failed to score big. The middle order is a concern for the Titans, as Glenn Phillips and Washington Sundar have failed to get going with the bat.

Prasidh Krishna has bowled well while more is needed from the experienced Mohammed Siraj. Kagiso Rabada and Ashok Sharma have been decent in the two games. Rashid Khan has looked far from his best, but he’s a quality player, and GT will back him to do well.
