Welcome to the coverage of 31st match of the Indian Premier League between Gujarat Lions and Delhi Daredevils in Rajkot, on Tuesday.

The shocking loss to Kings XI Punjab in their last match, notwithstanding, table-toppers Gujarat Lions will have to get their act together quickly if they wish to end their home campaign on a winning note against a formidable Delhi Daredevils.

Gujarat Lions' three-match winning streak came to an end on Sunday when they lost to Kings XI by 23 runs. But despite the loss, Gujarat Lions continue to enjoy the top spot in the table with 12 points from eight games.

The ever-improving Daredevils are not far behind in third place with eight points from six games.

Gujarat Lions batting so far has revolved around explosive openers Brendon McCullum and Dwayne Smith. When the duo clicked, the Lions have managed to achieve scores around 200.

Both McCullum and Smith had a rare off-day on Sunday and the duo would be hoping to return among runs come Tuesday.

Skipper Suresh Raina and Dinesh Karthik have made useful contributions, but their main worry would be the batting form of two all-rounders Dwayne Bravo and Ravindra Jadeja.

Bravo and Jadeja have been handy for Raina with the ball but it is their performance with the bat which is a matter of concern.

Bravo has so far taken 10 wickets in eight matches, but contributed just 52 runs with the bat, while Jadeja has picked up five wickets from seven games and scored only 53 runs.

The Daredevils, on the other hand, would be hoping to settle scores after losing by a narrow one run against Gujarat Lions at home.

Mentored by Rahul Dravid and led by veteran Zaheer Khan, IPL 9 has seen a transformed Daredevils side. They have so far won four out of their six games, losing just against Gujarat Lions and Kolkata Knight Riders.
