Delhi Capitals will be eyeing their 3rd win of Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) as they take on Gujarat Titans at their home ground – the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday. Axar Patel and co. are currently 4th on the points table, having beaten LSG and MI by 6 wickets, thanks to Sameer Rizvi’s heroics. The national capital was battered by heavy rain on the eve of the game, leading to aspersions being cast on the weather for the DC and GT clash. IPL 2026 has already seen one game being abandoned due to rain (KKR vs PBKS in Kolkata) and another one (RR vs MI in Guwahati) curtailed.
Delhi weather report for DC vs GT
As per AccuWeather, thunderstorms are expected to prevail in parts of the city during the afternoon hours. The forecast predicts clear skies in the evening and night with a maximum and minimum temperatures of 27 and 17 degree Celsius respectively. Humidity is expected to range between 57-65% during the course of the contest.
While there is 13% chance of rain before the start of DC vs GT clash which could delay the start of the match, there is 0% chance of rain during the game. This means fans can expect a full-fledged 40-over contest. However, it is pertinent to point out that the Indian Metrological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the national capital on Tuesday. IMD has forecasted thunderstorms accompanied by intermittent spells of rain throughout the day. Lightning and gusty winds (30-50 kmph) are also expected during the afternoon and evening hours.
