After a defeat in their first match against the Mumbai Indians, the Capitals have bounced back strongly to win their next two games.

The top three batters for Delhi are in good form and have been the main contributors in terms of scoring. Shafali Verma, in particular, has been in aggressive form, scoring two half-centuries in three innings. She has been well supported by Alice Capsey, who is currently the third-highest run-scorer of the season. Although Jemimah Rodrigues has had some inconsistencies in the middle order, Jess Jonassen and Marizanne Kapp have been crucial as all-rounders. The pair shared a 48-run partnership against Bangalore and also took 5 wickets to secure an easy win for Delhi. Arundhati Reddy and Radha Yadav have also performed well with the ball, making Delhi one of the strongest bowling units in the league.

The Gujarat Giants have had a poor start to the season, losing all three matches played so far and currently sitting at the bottom of the points table.

The team batting second has emerged victorious in 5 out of the 7 matches played on this ground. As a result, we anticipate that the team winning the toss will likely choose to field first. The pitch, while still good for batting, tends to be a bit slow in the initial stages of the game, offering some assistance to the bowlers. There are also cracks on the surface that bowlers can target for movement. Achieving a target of more than 180 runs could pose a challenge on this pitch. The weather forecast indicates warm and humid conditions with temperatures exceeding 25 degrees Celsius. Dew may come into play in the second half of the match.

In recent games, Delhi has performed impressively and seems to have established a well-balanced team. With a winning streak in their favor, we anticipate that the Delhi Capitals will continue their good form and secure a victory. Our prediction is for the Delhi Capitals to win the match.
