The struggling Delhi Capitals will want to rebound against the inconsistent Gujarat Titans in match no. 40 of the TATA IPL 2024, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The Capitals suffered a huge setback following two consecutive wins last week, losing by 67 runs to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous encounter. With three wins and five defeats, DC's hopes of making the playoffs were put at risk as this setback dropped them to the eighth spot in the standings. The Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, have shown glimpses of promise despite their inconsistency. Their confidence has grown with their recent victory over Punjab Kings, which has helped them move up to sixth place in the rankings.
