Preview:
The Gujarat Titans will host the Delhi Capitals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad in the first of the two games on April 19, Saturday. With the heat set to be mighty at the iconic venue, the stakeholders have introduced a handful of initiatives such as free drinking water to the spectators and sunscreens to them.
The Titans’ four-game winning streak came to an end when the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) beat them at the Ekana Stadium by four wickets. The Titans’ opening combination looks solid but will be looking to iron out a few flaws, including hoping for leg-spinner Rashid Khan to find form.
The Capitals, meanwhile, are flying high, winning five out of their six matches thus far. They lost a close contest against the Mumbai Indians but responded by winning a similar one against the Rajasthan Royals that went to the super over. However, they still need Jake Fraser-McGurk to return to form, given the Aussie batter has had a torrid time, of late.
