19:07   DC opt to bowl first
Toss: Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to bowl first against Gujarat Titans.

Speaking at the toss, DC skipper Rishabh Pant said, "We'll bowl first. Unknown to everyone about this wicket and we're batting strong, so we'd like to chase. Keeping dew in consideration, might see some dew later and might help our batters. Will have to play good cricket. But will take one match at a time. Death bowling has been our concern, but the bowlers are getting better with each match. That's the kind of momentum we're looking for. Same XI, but Warner misses because of injury and Sumit Kumar comes in."

Meanwhile GT skipper, Shubman Gill said, "We would've bowled first as well. Looks like a good wicket. There wasn't dew the past couple of days, so hopefully wouldn't be tonight. We've played really good cricket even in the losses we've had. (Home) Always great to play in Ahmedabad. Get magnificent support."

18:31   GT, DC seek 2nd win on the trot
Hello & welcome to the coverage of match no. 32 of the ongoing IPL season.

We have reached the halfway mark of season 17 and in tonights contest, the Gujarat Titans will take on the Delhi Capitals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Gujrat Titans will be striving for much needed consistency when they host Delhi Capitals. Unlike the past two editions, the Titans have not been able to play like a well-oiled machine though they still have time to fix the flaws.

A last ball win over table leaders Rajasthan Royals on April 10 was just the kind of result the Titans needed to infuse fresh live to their campaign. They have only managed only two wins from their first six games but with another eight matches remaining, the Shubman Gill-led team has enough time to turn things around.

The absence of Mohammad Shami has hurt them but they must best use the available resources. Umesh Yadav has taken seven wickets but has leaked more than 10 runs per over. His new ball partner Spencer Johnson and the seasoned Mohit Sharma too can improve on their economy rate.

Star spinner Rashid Khan has been at his frugal best but would like to have more wickets in his kitty. His cameo in the last game helped Titans seal a thrilling win and the team would also be expecting more out of him with the bat.

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, have struggled to assemble their playing eleven due to form and fitness issues.

After four losses in five games, they got a much needed boost with the win against Lucknow Super Giants but they still have a lot to sort out if they are to push themselves for a place in the play-offs.

The presence of a fit again Kuldeep Yadav made a huge difference as he broke the backbone of the opposition with three timely strikes in Lucknow.

Kuldeep, who has added more speed to his craft, seems to be at the peak of his powers and it could be difficult for Titans batters to face him, especially against his googlies.

Stay tuned as we bring you all the action. Toss is set to be held at 7:00pm IST.
