The biggest DC vs GT story in these playing 11 cards is the two spin matchups that could decide everything. Kuldeep Yadav vs Shubman Gill — this battle often decides the course of a GT innings. And then there’s the all-time IPL spin artist: Rashid Khan against DC’s entire batting lineup. Rashid at this ground, with the ball gripping in the middle overs, is one of the most challenging prospects in all of T20 cricket.
While Sai Sudharsan has been their top scorer with 86 runs and has provided stability at the top, the middle order has failed to finish games. Players like Rahul Tewatia, Jos Buttler and Glenn Phillips are yet to make a significant impact, which has hurt GT in both matches so far. Tonight, someone from that middle order must step up. If they don’t, GT’s innings will collapse again in the death overs, and DC will have a relatively easy chase on their hands.
