GT vs SRH, DC vs CSK: IPL 2024 team news
Sunrisers Hyderabad have amassed nearly 500 runs across their two matches. However, the Gujarat Titans may put the tourists to test by preparing a surface that will assist their spinners. They can add Noor Ahmad to Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore: spin is not a strength for the Sunrisers.
Delhi Capitals have a strong bowling attack and several power hitters, but they have not threatened any opposition yet. Perhaps it is time to add Prithvi Shaw to the top and use Mitchell Marsh at three to take the Chennai Super Kings attack heads on. Shivam Dube has been destructive against spin, but Axar Patel and Kuldeep will provide a stern challenge.

GT vs SRH, DC vs CSK: Prediction for today’s IPL match
Even at home, GT will find things difficult against the rampant SRH batting unit. A slower pitch may keep them in the game.
DC have not impressed yet despite having a good unit on paper. Their “home” match is at Visakhapatnam, not Delhi – and with their all-round strength, CSK will be favourites.
