Pitch and conditions

The Delhi surface has typically supported batting, with an average first innings score around 170.

In the first match at the venue this season, conditions were slightly slower, but under lights the pitch is expected to play more consistently for batters.

Short boundaries continue to favour aggressive stroke play.

Key players and matchups

KL Rahul (4.10) remains central to Delhi’s batting, supported by Tristan Stubbs and David Miller.

Kuldeep Yadav (5.40) and Lungi Ngidi (5.00) provide control and wicket-taking options.

For Gujarat, Shubman Gill (3.80) and Sai Sudharsan (4.35) are key at the top, while Jos Buttler (6.25) adds experience.

Rashid Khan (5.50) and Kagiso Rabada (5.50) will be important in limiting scoring phases.

Betting angle

Delhi are priced at 1.75, with Gujarat at 2.10.

Over 16.5 sixes (1.80) is worth considering given both teams’ batting depth.

Top batter markets favour Gill and Rahul based on early involvement in their respective line-ups.

The takeaway

Delhi’s stronger start and home advantage give them a slight edge.

Run-scoring conditions support boundary markets, with sixes offering the most value.
