After two wins in as many games, the Delhi Capitals are all set to host the 2022 champions, Gujarat Titans, in match 14 of Tata IPL 2026. This will be the second home of the season for the Capitals, who are heading into this game on the back of an away win over Lucknow Super Giants by 6 wickets, followed by a home win at the Kotla over the 5-time champions Mumbai Indians by 6 wickets. Meanwhile, the Titans have lost both their games so far. They played their opening game against last season’s finalists, Punjab Kings, in Mullanpur, losing by 3 wickets, and then headed home to the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, only to lose their first home game of the season to Rajasthan Royals by 6 runs. In this post, we have compiled free expert tips for the 14th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026), DC vs GT, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.

Win Probability: DC vs GT

Two teams that have had contrasting fortunes so far this season are all set to lock horns in the nation’s capital. Delhi Capitals may have lost their last two games to this particular opponent, but their recent form paints a completely different picture. The Capitals, who are rolling after being undefeated so far in the tournament, should start as the favorites in this contest playing at home. They are oozing confidence after taming the 5-time champions Mumbai Indians in their last game and should have their noses ahead in this contest. Expect the win probability meter to favor the hosts. Let’s continue with the post and find out the best cricket tips for the 14th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026), DC vs GT, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.

GT: 37% win chance
DC: 63% win chance

  • The Capitals have won their last three games on the bounce across two IPL seasons.
  • The Gujarat Titans have now lost 5 games in a row across two IPL seasons.
  • In the last 5 meetings between the two sides, Delhi has a slight upper hand with 3 wins to their name.
  • However, the Titans defeated the Capitals in the last season twice in as many meetings.

Cricket Betting Tips for DC vs GT—14th Match, IPL 2026

Sameer Rizvi to score Over 23.5

In the form of his life, DC's reliable no 4 Sameer Rizvi has scored 3 fifties on the trot in ths IPL now. After a match-winning effort in the last two games, expect Sameer to shine in this fixture as well.

Pathum Nissanka to score Over 24.5

Pathum Nissanka is a rare talent, and people are yet to recognize what he brings to the table. After a fabulous 44 off 30 deliveries in the game against MI, Pathum must be eager to score more in this game.

B Sai Sudharsan to score Over 28.5

Fresh off a fifty in the last game against RR, the orange cap holder from the last season is seemingly back among runs and would be looking to continue with his form.

Jos Buttler to score Over

The veteran Englishman has got starts so far in both the games for GT. Expect Buttler to have a lasting impact in this game on a surface that always offers assistance to stroke makers at the Kotla.

Delhi Capitals have to make sure they don’t lose wickets early

Delhi Capitals may have started IPL 2026 with two wins from two games, but their top‑order batting remains a concern. While the results have gone their way, the lack of consistent contributions from the frontline batters could become a stumbling block in tougher contests. Pathum Nissanka got going in the previous game with a quintessential 44 off 30 deliveries, but the likes of Nitish Rana and the senior pro KL Rahul haven’t delivered yet.

Their failure to convert starts into meaningful scores has left the middle order under pressure, forcing the Capitals to rely heavily on lower‑order resilience and bowling strength. For Delhi to sustain their winning momentum, the top three must step up and provide a solid platform.

With Nissanka showing signs of form, the onus now lies on Rana and Rahul to rediscover their touch and complement the middle order. If the Capitals can solve this batting puzzle, they will transform from a team scraping through victories and secure a hat trick of wins to go at the top of the points table.

Gujarat Titans mulling over role clarity

The Titans have nothing in their batting order after the top 3 featuring B Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and the Englishman Jos Buttler. Their overreliance on the top 3 was on display in the last season as well, and every time one of the three bailed them out from tricky situations.

In this season, none of the top three have been able to help GT secure a win. Moreover, lack of role clarity for the likes of Shahrukh Khan and Washington Sundar in particular has been a worrying sign for the side. Shahrukh Khan has been playing IPl for quite some time now. He has featured in more than 50 games in IPL and only has 2 fifties to show on his resume. A batter who is batting generally at 5 or 6, these numbers are nothing but underwhelming.

Gujarat’s primary concern is how best to utilize Washington Sundar. Yes, he is a good batter, but only in the longest format of the game. He doesn’t have an attacking game, which is a must in modern-day T20s. Also, if he isn’t being used much as a bowler, then there’s no point of having him in the eleven. Washington was barely used for his primary prowess, i.e., bowling, in the last season, and in this season he has bowled only in the opening game against PBKS but not against RR. If he isn’t bowling, its better to have a pure batter in the eleven who can bat at no 5.

Anuj Rawat, Kumar Kushagra, and Nishant Sindhu are the three batting options waiting in the wings for GT, but the management seems to be subtle on Washington. If GT management doesn’t address the ‘Washington’ issue, they could well be staring at yet another defeat in the Tata IPL 2026. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.

DC vs GT Head-to-Head

Matches Played: 7
GT won:
4
DC won: 3
No Result: 0

The Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans have collided 7 times in IPL history. The Titans have a slight upper hand as they have won 4 games, whereas the Capitals have won 3. In the last three meetings between the two sides, GT has secured 2 wins, whereas DC has won a solitary fixture.

Team Analysis: Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals

How will the two teams, i.e., the Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals, fare in the 14th match of IPL 2026? Let’s take a look.

Gujarat Titans (GT)

  • Nothing seems to be going right for the 2022 champions so far.
  • Skipper Shubman Gill missed the last game due to a muscle strain. If fit, he will slot in at the top order with Kumar Kushagra making way. If not, Kushagra would keep his place at the top order.
  • Don’t know why Washington Sundar is considered the biggest batter of this generation by the GT team management.
  • If he is not used for his bowling, there’s no need to play him; instead, replacing him with a proper batter like Kushagra or Anuj Rawat would be a far better option.
  • One change GT might consider is bringing in a genuine all-rounder, Jason Holder, for Glenn Phillips.
  • Shahrukh Khan hasn’t performed for years, but the Titans are yet to look beyond him.
  • Problems are aplenty for GT. It remains interesting to see what changes the management will opt for.

Expected Starting 11

Kumar Kushagra/Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (WK), Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan (C), Kagiso Rabada, Ashok Sharma, Mohammed Siraj IMPACT SUB: Prasidh Krishna

Delhi Capitals (DC)

  • Nitosh Rana’s form is a bit of a concern, along with senior pro KL Rahul, who has managed only a solitary run from two outings so far.
  • Rahul can’t be dropped, but Nitish would have to prove his mettle sooner, with a lot more batters waiting in the wings to bat at no. 3.
  • One tactical change Delhi might consider is bringing in a pace bowling option like Auqib Nabi Dar for an extra spinner in Vipraj Nigam.
  • Other changes are highly unlikely to happen, particularly with the team doing well.

Expected Starting 11:

PKL Rahul (WK), Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana, Axar Patel (C), Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Vipraj Nigam, Kuldeep Yadav, Lungi Ngidi, Mukesh Kumar, T Natarajan IMPACT SUB: Sameer Rizvi
