The Gujarat Titans, current defending champions, have been impressive so far in IPL season 16. Having played eight matches so far, they have won six and earned a total of twelve points. The team has been performing exceptionally well in all aspects of the game, displaying excellent batting, bowling, and fielding skills. Following their convincing victory against KKR in their last match, the team’s confidence is soaring. They are determined to continue their dominance in the upcoming match against DC.
In contrast, the Delhi Capitals have had a challenging season so far, losing six out of their eight fixtures. Although their top-order batsmen put up a good show in the last match against SRH, with Mitchell Marsh and Phil Salt scoring half-centuries, the team’s middle and lower-order batsmen failed to contribute, resulting in their loss against SRH. Moreover, it is not just their batting that is a cause for concern, as their bowlers have also been struggling to perform well.
