Rain has already played spoilsport in the last two games of the Indian Premier League 2026 and now all eyes shift to New Delhi, where Delhi Capitals will take on Gujarat Titans in a crucial encounter at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

DC are coming into this clash with a lot of confidence, having registered two wins in two games against quality sides, and now they look ready for a fresh challenge. Their batting has been led brilliantly by Sami Rizvi, while the bowling has also been outstanding with the likes of Lungi Ngidi and Kuldeep Yadav stepping up and delivering when needed.

Talking about GT, the story is completely different. They have suffered two defeats in two games, but there is a big boost as skipper Shubman Gill is set to return to the XI after missing the previous clash. That will certainly lift the mood in the camp. Despite having some big names in their bowling attack, the performances have been quite ordinary so far. The middle order in batting needs to step up, and a much better all-round effort is required if they want to get their campaign back on track.14 11

Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report for DC vs GT game

The surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is known for being batting-friendly, with shorter boundaries and a relatively small ground, making it ideal for high-scoring encounters. The pitch is usually flat, allowing batters to play their shots freely once they get set.

However, with a bit of weather around earlier in the day for the DC vs GT game, there could be slight assistance for bowlers in the initial overs. If any moisture remains on the surface, pacers might get some early movement, but that should not last long.

With earlier chances of rain and the possibility of dew later in the evening, teams winning the toss will most likely look to bowl first and then chase, as conditions are expected to improve for batting under lights.
