DC vs GT Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips for 40th Match of IPL 2024 | DC vs GT Dream11 Prediction Today | Delhi Pitch Report
April 17 saw a rare occurrence in IPL 2024. The bowlers had the biggest say as Delhi Capitals rolled Gujarat Titans for just 89 in Ahmedabad, leading to a big six-wicket win with 67 balls to spare.
However, DC then conceded 125 in the powerplay in their next outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The huge swing has been reflective of their season to date, with the ridiculous mixed with the sublime. However, there are positives, with young guns Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tristan Stubbs the two who could take DC to a win today.
For GT, they are chugging along but their batting remains a worry. They got over the line against Punjab Kings a few nights ago, but they need more in what is expected to be another belter of a batting pitch in Delhi.
