Delhi Capitals are flying high with a perfect 2-0 record, while Gujarat Titans desperately search for their first win after back-to-back defeats. Sameer Rizvi has been DC’s savior, rescuing them from 26/4 against LSG with a match-winning 70* and from 7/2 against MI with a stunning 90 off 51 balls to claim the Orange Cap.
However, KL Rahul’s struggles continue with just 1 run from 5 balls across two matches. Gujarat’s woes run deeper as their middle order has been a no-show, combining for just 58 and 30 runs respectively. The good news for GT is Shubman Gill’s return after missing the RR clash due to muscle spasm.

Key Players to Watch: DC vs GT Match 14 IPL 2026
From Rizvi’s stunning form to Buttler’s love affair with Feroz Shah Kotla, these players could decide Match 14.
Sameer Rizvi (DC): The Impact Player
Rizvi has been phenomenal with 160 runs in just 2 matches at an average of 160 and strike rate of 163.27. His match-winning knocks of 70* vs LSG and 90 vs MI have single-handedly rescued DC from precarious positions, establishing him as the tournament’s most impactful player so far.
KL Rahul (DC): Redemption Awaited
Rahul has scored just 1 run from 5 balls across two games, but GT could be the perfect opponent to regain form. He has scored 249 runs in 6 matches against Gujarat at an average of nearly 50. Against Siraj specifically, Rahul has scored 135 runs off 79 balls at SR 170.88 with just 1 dismissal.
Kuldeep Yadav (DC): The Spin Wizard
Kuldeep forms a lethal spin duo with Axar Patel, arguably the most potent in IPL 2026. However, his record at Delhi drops significantly with an average of 36.93 (vs 20.64 elsewhere) and economy of 8.79 (vs 7.47). GT will look to exploit this weakness.
Shubman Gill (GT): The Returning Captain
Gill’s return after muscle spasm transforms GT’s batting order. The captain’s presence provides stability at the top and his ability to anchor innings while accelerating when needed makes him crucial. His absence was felt dearly in the RR defeat.
Jos Buttler (GT): The Delhi Specialist
Buttler averages a stunning 59.5 at Feroz Shah Kotla, with 357 of his 510 runs against DC coming at this venue at a strike rate of 170.81. Despite not crossing 40 in his last 10 T20 innings, this ground could be the perfect place to rediscover his explosive best.
Rashid Khan (GT): The DC Destroyer
Rashid leads the wicket charts against DC with 11 dismissals, making him the tournament’s most valuable spinner against the Capitals. On a surface that assists spin in the first half, his leg-breaks and googlies could be devastating.

DC vs GT Match Prediction: Who Will Win Today?
Delhi Capitals have shown remarkable resilience despite repeated top-order collapses.
Sameer Rizvi’s emergence as a match-winner has masked KL Rahul and Nitish Rana’s struggles, while the bowling unit led by Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and T Natarajan has been consistent.
Gujarat Titans’ problems are structural. Their middle order (Nos. 4-7) has the lowest batting average in the competition since IPL 2025, and Jos Buttler’s prolonged slump adds to their woes.
Despite Gill’s return and a formidable pace attack featuring Rabada, Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna, GT have now lost 5 consecutive matches across two seasons.
Our Final Verdict: Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Prediction
The home advantage, unbeaten momentum, and heavy dew favoring the chasing side all point towards Delhi Capitals. While GT’s top order of Gill, Sudharsan, and Buttler can provide explosive starts, their middle-order fragility will be exposed against DC’s spin duo at a venue where Kuldeep and Axar thrive in the first innings.
DC have better game management in crunch moments, while GT have repeatedly squandered strong positions. Unless Buttler rediscovers his Feroz Shah Kotla magic, the Capitals should extend their winning streak to three.
Prediction: Delhi Capitals to win Match 14 of IPL 2026.
