The 7th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 is scheduled to play between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans on Tuesday 4th April 2023 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.

Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi is going to host the first match of this season of the Indian Premier League. Remember that a total of seven matches of this tournament are scheduled to be held at this venue. Almost all team had played their opening match of this tournament and now are in a better position to pick the best playing eleven. Delhi Capitals failed to have an ideal start to this edition of IPL and faced a massive defeat against Lucknow Super Giants in their very first match of this tournament by a big margin of 50 runs. This big loss also damaged their net run rate. They have to win some next matches with big margins to better the run rate. The defending champions, Gujarat Titans had an outstanding start to this tournament and won their opening match against Chennai Super Kings with a handsome margin of five wickets and they are a favorite team of this match.

Delhi Capitals are an experienced team but they failed to give the best performance in each and every department of the game in their very first match against Lucknow Super Giants. They have a good bowling combination of young and experienced bowlers but failed to stop the batting order of Lucknow Super Giants from scoring the runs. They won the toss and decided to field first but this decision did not work properly and they leaked a total of 193 runs in 20 overs. Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar, Chetan Sakariya, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav were picked for playing eleven of that match as bowlers but they failed to deliver the results. Khaleel Ahmed proved the most successful bowler from their side with two wickets in his account in four overs against 30 runs. Chetan Sakariya also picked two wickets but he leaked a lot of runs. He was charged for 53 runs in four overs with an economy rate of near about 14 runs per over. Kuldeep Yadav picked one wicket in four overs against 35 runs while Axar Patel leaked 38 runs in four overs and picked one wicket. Mukesh Kumar had debuted in Indian Premier League but failed to pick any wicket. His economy rate was good and he was charged for 30 runs in four overs.

Delhi Capitals have some best bowlers on the benches and we think that they will make at least one change in the bowling department. Delhi Capitals are rich in the bowling department and they have the batsmen like Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Sarfaraz Khan, Rilee Rossouw, Rovman Powell, and Axar Patel but failed to chase the target of 194 runs and scored just 143 runs in 20 overs. Rilee Rossouw, David Warner, and Axar Patel performed well and put some runs on the board but their main batsmen like Prithvi Shaw, Aman Hakim Khan, Rovman Powell, Sarfaraz Khan, and Mitchell Marsh failed to perform well and put some big runs on the board. Prithvi Shaw and David Warner came to open the batting inning of Delhi Capitals and provided a good opening start of 41 runs for the partnership of the first wicket but their middle and lower batting order collapsed. David Warner is leading Delhi Capitals and also the batting order of this team and he plays a captain inning. He was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 56 runs to his name on 48 balls with the help of seven boundaries. Rilee Rossouw is in good form that he got from the recent season of Pakistan Super League and he also performed well in the previous match with 30 runs to his account on 20 balls. He smashed two boundaries and one huge six. Axar Patel was the other batsman who put some runs on the board. He scored 16 runs while Prithvi Shaw could manage to score just 12 runs. No other batsmen from their side could manage to enter into the double figures.

Gujarat Titans played like champions in their very first match against the second most successful team in the history of IPL, Chennai Super Kings, and won with a handsome margin of five wickets. This win should boost their confidence level and we are sure that they will give a tough time to Delhi Capitals in this match. The bowling department of Gujarat Titans is very strong but we don’t think they give the best performance. Mohammad Shami, Hardik Pandya, Joshua Little, Rashid Khan, Alzarri Joseph, and Yash Dayal are leading bowlers of Gujarat Titans and they leaked 178 runs in 20 overs against Chennai Super Kings. Rashid Khan proved the most successful bowler from their side. He picked key wickets for Chennai Super Kings and that was the main reason why he was selected as man of the match. He picked up a total of two wickets in four overs against just 26 runs. He was also good with the bat and scored curtails 10 runs on just three balls. Mohammad Shami also performed well and picked two wickets in four overs while he was charged with 29 runs in four overs. Alzarri Joseph was the other bowler with two wickets in his account in four overs while he leaked 33 runs.

Joshua Little picked one wicket but he leaked a lot of runs. He was charged with 41 runs in four overs. Yash Dayal and the skipper, Hardik Pandya were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket. The batting order of Gujarat Titans is also strong and they proved it in the first match. They chased the target of 179 runs with four balls to spare. Almost every batsman from their side put some runs on the board. Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill came to open the batting inning of Gujarat Titans and proved a good start of 37 runs for the partnership of the first wicket. Wriddhiman Saha came back to the pavilion after scoring 25 runs on 16 balls with the help of two boundaries and the same huge sixes. Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill had a partnership of 53 runs for the second wicket. Sai Sudharsan scored 22 runs while he faced 17 balls and smashed three boundaries during his inning. Vijay Shankar and Rahul Tewatia also performed well. Shubman Gill was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 63 runs to his name on just 36 balls with the help of six boundaries and three huge sixes. Vijay Shankar scored 27 runs while he faced 21 balls and smashed two boundaries and one huge six. Rahul Tewatia remained not out after scoring 15 runs. Gujarat Titans have a well-balanced squad as they make some smart moves in IPL 2023 auctions. We are sure that they will perform well in the next matches.

The 7th match of IPL T20, 2023 is going to be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi which is also known as Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium. The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is known to be on the slower side with some turns for the spinners. Rashid Khan can perform well on the pitch. It generally favors the batsmen early on but can deteriorate as the match progresses, providing assistance to the spinners. Weather conditions can also have a significant impact on the pitch, with dry and sunny conditions favoring the spin bowlers, while overcast and humid conditions can assist the seamers.

The weather forecast for Delhi is good for this cricket match. The weather in Delhi is generally hot and humid, with temperatures ranging between 28°C and 34°C. The humidity can make it uncomfortable for players and it may also cause the ball to swing more in the air.
