Delhi Capitals will look to continue their unbeaten run in IPL 2026 when they host struggling Gujarat Titans in the 14th match of the tournament on Wednesday, April 8. The game will be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, which is hosting the second match of the season.

Axar Patel-led Capitals are coming off in this fixture after beating Mumbai Indians by six wickets at home. With two dominant victories in their opening two games, DC are placed fourth in the points table.

Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, are looking for their first win of the season in this game.

Shubman Gill’s side suffered a heartbreaking six-run defeat against Rajasthan Royals in the last game after a heavy loss against Punjab Kings in their season opener. GT will look to find some support from the pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium, having won their last game at the venue by 10 wickets in the IPL 2025.

DC vs GT Pitch Report

The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium offers a batting-friendly surface in T20 cricket. This game will be played on Pitch No. 5.

There is a chance of heavy rain a few hours before the game, so the pitch will be under covers, which will create extra moisture in the early stages.

Fast bowlers are expected to get extra bounce from the moisture and the overcast conditions in the powerplay.

However, fans can expect a high-scoring game with both teams boasting quality top-order batters. The batters are likely to dominate the middle overs, as has been the case in recent IPL games at this venue.

In the last game played at this venue, Delhi Capitals bowlers made an impact with a new ball and restricted the Mumbai Indians to just 162 for 6 while bowling first on April 4.

Delhi’s top order also struggled against the new ball, but batters found the momentum in the middle overs to successfully chase the total.

Arun Jaitley Stadium also held six games in the recent T20 World Cup 2026 in February and March. The team batting first managed to score past 160 only once, but that has not been the case in recent IPL games played here.

Gujarat Titans chased down a 200-run target without losing a wicket when they last played here in the IPL 2026. Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a total of 278 in their last IPL game at this venue in 2025.
