Against srh

BR Sharath Joshua Little: Outclassed by Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous match, Delhi Capitals will be eyeing to return to winning ways when they take on an inconsistent Gujarat Titans in the reverse fixture of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Wednesday.

The two sides met last week at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where DC easily won by six wickets after bowling out GT for just 89. Both DC and GT, placed at eighth and sixth respectively in the points table, find themselves in a crucial phase of the tournament where they must win all their remaining matches to have a chance at entering the playoffs.

For DC, it is more important to not make any more slip-ups, especially on the tactics and performance front. Against SRH, they literally caused themselves to be pushed on the backfoot after opting to bowl first, with captain Rishabh Pant citing the dew factor, which eventually didn’t help them.
