GT have managed to pull off a win from the jaws of defeat, but by the thinnest of margins of 1 run. David Miller did not take the single with 2 off 2, and ended up on the losing side. However, Miller's blitz kept DC in the hunt in the final over. This is GT's maiden win this season. 

08 Apr, 23:09 (IST)

KL Rahul fell tantalisingly close to a 100, but most importantly, he will be livid not to get DC past the finish line. A wide yorker from Mohammed Siraj becomes Rahul's undoing on 92 as the batter handed a catch to Jos Buttler behind the stumps. 

08 Apr, 22:44 (IST)

OUT! Rashid Khan has singlehandedly brought GT into the contest. Khan bowls a googly, as DC captain Axar Patel tries to go big, but the ball spins away from the batter, who sees the ball gets sliced towards extra cover, where Glenn Phillips claims a sharp catch. 

08 Apr, 22:40 (IST)

David Miller walks off the field, as South Africa is retired hurt. Miller was facing issues with his finger in his left hand. DC captain Axar Patel joins KL Rahul in the middle, with his side needing 82 to win. 

08 Apr, 22:20 (IST)

OUT! Bowled Em! Rashid Khan has turned the game around, and in-form Sameer Rizvi has to depart for a golden duck. Rizvi pushed forward, but the ball spun back and crashed into the stumps. Earlier, Khan had the final laugh as Nitish Rana departed for 5. Rana hit a solid boundary on the previous ball, but failed to read the wrong'un and skied the up trying to go over long-off. Sai Sudharshan takes a sharp catch.

08 Apr, 22:15 (IST)

This is a solid start by DC, with the team nearing the 100-run mark in the 10th over. A lot of credit has to be given to KL Rahul, who has scored 53 off 29, while Pathum Nissanka smoked 41 off 24, before Prasidh Krishna ended the partnership. 

08 Apr, 21:48 (IST)

This is just the start DC would have hoped for from their openers. Pathum Nissanka attacked first, but then KL Rahul too joined the party as the duo raked up 36 in 4 overs. 

08 Apr, 21:33 (IST)

Pathum Nissanka has started his innings from where he left off against MI, and has raced to 13 runs in 5 overs, hitting Mohammed Siraj for 3 fours in the first over itself. Nissanka's partner KL Rahul will hope that his partner's form rubs off on him as well after successive failures. 

08 Apr, 21:14 (IST)

The final few overs have pulled things back for DC, with GT looking to score well beyond 220 at the 210 at the 15 overs mark. Washington Sundar and Shubman Gill scored fifties after a blitz by Jos Buttler at the top. Mukesh Kumar claimed two wickets but was expensive, while Lungi Ngidi was economical as well. 

08 Apr, 21:07 (IST)

FIFTY! This is a solid knock by Washington Sundar. Sundar finally displayed his batting capabilities to the fullest, hitting a half-century in 30 balls, laced with 5 fours and two sixes.

08 Apr, 21:00 (IST)

OUT! Need a wicket, call Lungi Ngidi. A slower ball by Ngidi sees GT captain Shubman Gill get dismissed for a well-made 70 off 45. Gill went for the big shot, but mistimed the ball high into the air, that was cleanly pouched by Nitish Rana inside the circle. 

08 Apr, 20:47 (IST)

This has been a solid third-wicket stand for GT, with Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar adding 80-odd runs. While Sundar has been the aggressor, Gill has been the sheet anchor. Gil reached his half-century in 33 balls, and Sundar is nearing his fifty as well.

08 Apr, 20:21 (IST)

Thanks to Jos Buttler's blitz, GT have managed to reach past 100 in 10 overs, but now Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar must build on the platform set by the former England captain. Important knock for Sundar, who has been promoted up the order. 

08 Apr, 20:07 (IST)

OUT! Kuldeep Yadav comes into the attack and instantly produces a result, removing the dangerous Jos Buttler. Buttler got undone by the lack of bounce off a half-tracker and got his stumps rattled for 52 off 27. 

08 Apr, 20:03 (IST)

FIFTY! Jos Buttler has finally announced his form, as the batter reaches his first T20 half-century after 16 innings. Buttler took merely 25 balls to reach his fifty, which included five sixes and three fours. 

08 Apr, 19:51 (IST)

Since the fall of Sai Sudharshan's wicket, this has been a Jos Buttler show in Delhi. Buttler, who has been struggling with his form, has come out all guns blazing, and has raced to 35 off 13, while Shubman Gill is batting on 7 off 7. 

08 Apr, 19:37 (IST)

OUT!  Mukesh Kumar continues his rich form, claiming a wicket early into his spell yet again. Sai Sudharshan, who has been GT's best batter this season, manages to under-edge the ball unto his stumps trying to play away from his body.

08 Apr, 19:33 (IST)

Winless in the competition, GT will look to open its account this evening. With Shubman Gill back, GT will hope the opening pair will provide the team with a swift and steady start.

08 Apr, 18:59 (IST)

Only one change for GT, and captain Shubman Gill returns to the XI.

GT Xi: Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan (c), Kagiso Rabada, Ashok Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna

08 Apr, 18:58 (IST)

Delhi Capitals remain unchanged from their win over MI. 

 

DC XI: KL Rahul (wk), Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana, Axar Patel (c), Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Vipraj Nigam, Lungi Ngidi, Kuldeep Yadav, T Natarajan, Mukesh Kumar

The Delhi Capitals (DC) aim to maintain their perfect start to the IPL 2026 season tonight as they host a struggling Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Despite earlier concerns regarding unseasonal afternoon showers, weather conditions in the capital have improved significantly, with ground staff working to ensure the 19:30 IST start remains on schedule.

Axar Patel’s Delhi side enters Match 14 as the competition’s form team, boasting three wins from three matches. In contrast, Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans are yet to find their rhythm, arriving in Delhi on the back of consecutive losses and seeking their first points of the campaign.

The Delhi Capitals have been galvanised by the emergence of Sameer Rizvi, whose match-winning 90 against Mumbai Indians solidified his reputation as the season’s breakout star. The home side is expected to name an unchanged lineup, relying on the spin duo of Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav to stifle the Titans' middle order.

For Gujarat, the focus remains on skipper Shubman Gill, who has returned to full fitness following a minor muscle spasm. While the Titans have struggled for consistency, the presence of Rashid Khan and Jos Buttler ensures they remain a formidable threat. Coach Ashish Nehra may consider tactical changes in the bowling department, possibly introducing an extra pace option to exploit any lingering humidity. Delhi Weather and Rain Forecast for DC vs GT IPL 2026.

Delhi’s strategy has centred on aggressive middle-overs batting, a move that has frequently caught opposition captains off guard. Gujarat, meanwhile, will look to Sai Sudharsan to provide a stable platform at the top of the order, allowing their finishers to capitalise in the death overs.

Should the weather hold, fans can expect a high-scoring contest. If further rain occurs, the DLS method may come into play, potentially favouring the side batting second in a shortened pursuit
