While the Gujarat Titans are dominantly at the top of the points table with 6 wins from 8 games, Delhi Capitals are at the very bottom with only 2 wins from the same number of games. On paper, the contest is expected to be a total mismatch. But it will be an interesting match given the trend of the lower-placed teams turning the tables around against the top-half teams.
GT vs DC Head-to-head Record :
In the last season, GT prevailed against DC by 14 runs in the beginning stage of the league. And in this season, GT again beat DC by chasing 163 with two overs to spare. But both times, the Titans were made to work hard and pulled things back only at the death to script victory. It will be interesting to see how the teams fare against each other this time.

GT vs DC, Dream11 Prediction, Today Match, IPL 2023, Match 44, Expert Advice:
It would be a great decision to include both Wriddhiman Saha and Phil Salt in the wicketkeepers, as both are explosive openers and the venue is ideal for run-scoring. Also, wrist spinners have been more successful at the venue compared to finger-spinners, hence it would be wise to include Kuldeep Yadav as well as he has been bowling economically despite not having the wickets to show for it.
GT vs DC, Dream11 Prediction, Today Match, IPL 2023, Match 44, Probable Winners:
Gujarat Titans are expected to win this contest, on account of their excellent run of form and wholesome performances in all facets of the game, and the poor shows from DC particularly in their batting.
