Match Prediction
Given their consistent performance and balanced squad, the Gujarat Titans are favored to win this match. Their top-order batsmen, including Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler, have been in excellent form, each surpassing 500 runs this season. The return of Kagiso Rabada further strengthens their bowling attack.
However, the Delhi Capitals cannot be underestimated, especially with the return of key players like Faf du Plessis and Tristan Stubbs. Their performance will heavily depend on how well their bowlers adapt to the absence of Mitchell Starc.
