DC vs GT: Delhi rope in Anrich and Porel!

“Looks like a nice wicket. Have to come out with positive intent and post a good total. It’s awesome. What a good turnout it is tonight. Hopefully we can make it our fortress. Anrich and Porel come in. Rovman misses out. It’s a long tournament, going to be a few harsh calls,” said Warner at the toss.

DC vs GT: Two changes for GT!

“Going to bowl first. Not sure how the wicket is going to play. Obviously losing Kane (Williamson) – we’re gutted. Especially for him. As a team we can manage, but gutted for him. (David) Miller comes in for Kane. Sai Sudharsan comes in for Vijay (Shankar). Not much talking in our team. Just about keeping things simple and focusing on controllables. Pitch looks fantastic. Dew might kick in later,” said Hardik Pandya after winning the toss.

DC vs GT Live: Sourab Ganguly speaks!

Meanwhile, DC top official and former Indian cricket team skipper Sourav Ganguly admitted that though Chetan Sakariya and Khaleel Ahmed did not bowl well in the first match. Ganguly also said it is not fair to judge Sarfaraz Khan, who displayed excellent form in domestic cricket for months, after one match. Sarfaraz kept the wickets in absence of Rishabh and scored four runs in nine balls with the bat.

“The game has changed. At this level the pressure is different. Sarfaraz Khan has just kept in one match. So, judging him for 20 overs is not fair. We do not have Rishabh who was batting and keeping for us. LSG have KL Rahul and Pooran who can keep and bat, you have MS Dhoni for Chennai Super Kings,” said Ganguly.

DC vs GT Live: A look at the points table!

The win over Lucknow Super Giants on Monday saw Chennai Super Kings climb to the sixth spot in the 10-team table with two points from as many games with a run-rate of 0.036.

DC vs Gt live: GT Fast Bowlers – A menace

Against DC, Mohammed Shami and Pandya will pose a different challenge. With Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal and ever consistent Rashid Khan for company, it will be a challenge for DC batters.

DC’s main problem is Indian bench strength and perhaps not having good enough ones to be substituted as ‘impact players’.

Dc vs GT Live: DC’s Young Batters In Focus!

In the batting department, skipper David Warner would like to see the Indian youngsters like Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan handle raw pace better than they did while encountering Mark Wood.

Both looked uncomfortable and short of ideas as one didn’t have his bat come down in time while the other just managed to avoid a head injury while getting into a tangle, playing the ramp shot.

IPL 2023 Live: Concern for DC!

The primary worry is the composition of Indian pace attack, which mildly put is below par when Anrich Nortje isn’t there to spearhead the attack.

Chetan Sakariya and Mukesh Kumar are sincere cricketers but both lack the pace and variation required to trouble international quality batters consistently. They could well be lambs for slaughter against a Shubman Gill, who is in rampaging form or skipper Hardik Pandya, who would feast on friendly medium pacers day in and day out.

DC vs GT Live: GT – a formidable side

The defending champions have all their bases covered despite Kane Williamson being ruled out of the tournament after a serious knee injury.

DC vs GT Live: Absence of Pant!

DC started their campaign with a 50-run loss against LSG, while GT is coming into the match after a five-wicket win against four-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK). In their loss, DC felt the absence of Pant, who is currently recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident last year.

DC vs GT Live: Delhi Capitals looking for home comfort!
