GT vs DC Match Prediction - Apr 02, 2022

Two teams that won their opening match of IPL 2022 are going to play each other in this next match. The Gujarat Titans got the better of the Lucknow Super Giants while the Delhi Capitals pulled off an upset win against the Mumbai Indians.

There are some big names missing from this DC outfit but they will be boosted by the availability of Ngidi and Mustafizur. Gujarat Titans showed some positive signs in its win but its batting remains a worry.

The IPL betting sites have Delhi Capitals as their favorite to win by a fair margin but we think the two teams are quite closely matched.

Match prediction and IPL betting tips for Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals IPL 2022. The match is going to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune on the 2nd of March 2022.

GT vs DC Team Previews

Gujarat Titans

The Gujarat Titans were exceptional with the ball in the previous match against LSG. Mohammad Shami was brilliant with the new ball and was well-supported by the rest. Lockie Ferguson, Rashid Khan, Varun Aaron, and even Hardik Pandya bowled their full quota of overs.

Gujarat Titans also have Rahul Tewatia and Vijay Shankar to contribute to the bowling attack if needed.

Here is the thing, though. Pune is a ground where the fast bowlers do not get the same amount of help that the grounds in Mumbai offer. We think this indicates that the bowling attack for the Gujarat Titans could be a bit easier to play out.

This is where the pressure is going to ramp up on the Gujarat batting. Matthew Wade and Shubman Gill form an interesting duo at the top. Gill seems to have been given clear instruction to play in a more aggressive manner and Wade could find the going a bit tough as the spinners come into the equation.

Vijay Shankar at 3 is a massive gamble and we are not in favor of it. We would bet against him on most occasions. That leaves Pandya, Miller, and Tewatia as the middle order. Pandya looked in good form while both Miller and Tewatia struck the ball nicely as well, however, this is not the most convincing batting lineup.

A good bowling attack with some smart tactics to back them up could really trouble the Gujarat Titans in our opinion.

Delhi Capitals

The Delhi Capitals played their previous match with just two overseas players. That was not a surprise since most of their overseas players are not available for selection right now. They could add a third overseas player for this match, though, choosing one out of Ngidi or Mustafizur.

We think Mustafizur is the better choice but since Khaleel is already in the playing eleven, Ngidi may get a game ahead of him. Either one of these players will dramatically improve the bowling attack. Nagarkoti is the most likely to be replaced.

With Shardul Thakur, Khaleel Ahmed, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and Lalit Yadav also in the lineup, DC has a lot of options to aim for favorable matchups.

Similar to the Gujarat Titans, DC's batting also seems a bit vulnerable.

Prithvi Shaw, Tim Seifert, Rishab Pant, and Rovman Powell are the only genuine batsmen in the lineup. Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, and Shardul Thakur are all-rounders at best all of whom are batting in positions way too high for them.

Mandeep Singh at number three is also playing with borrowed time since he will be replaced as soon as Marsh or Warner becomes available for selection.

There are more than a few similarities between the two teams and it will eventually come down to execution on the day.

GT vs DC Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is going to want to field first. Every single captain who has won the toss has opted to field first although Pune is the only venue where a team batting first has won a game so far.

Pitch and Conditions

There is no rain predicted in Pune on match day. While the dew does fall, it does not appear to be as much of a concern in Pune as it is in Mumbai. The pitch was excellent for batting and had a bit of extra bounce in the first match played here. The same may be the case this time around as well and if that is so then the Gujarat Titans are better equipped to take advantage of it. If, however, the pitch is slower then DC has the better spinners in its lineup.

We think a score of around 180 is going to be around par for this venue.

GT vs DC Betting Tips

We are going to bet on the Delhi Capitals to win this match. We think it has a slight advantage when it comes to the batting lineup and its bowling attack is also quite good. The risk here is that both teams don't have the most convincing top-order and a couple of early wickets could leave them in trouble.

This is a match where only a small portion of your betting amount should be spent on the match-winner market.

Bet on Delhi Capitals to win.

There were just nine sixes hit in the previous at Pune. Also, neither of the two teams is a strong batting lineup and both of them may have to play a bit more cautiously. This is our favorite betting market for this match and we think you can be a bit aggressive here.

Pant has an excellent record against Rashid Khan. He is also the most pivotal batsman for DC in this lineup and will bat at number 4. We like his chances against this Gujarat Titans bowling lineup and the odds we are getting are not too bad either!

Having Prithvi Shaw at the top with Tim Seifert gives DC the best chance to get off to a flyer. These are batsmen that are going to come hard at the bowlers, no matter who they are. Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, has a more sedate top-3.
