IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals, match 10
On April 2, the Gujarat Titans will face the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2022 Match 10 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Both sides will enter this match on the heels of great victories in their respective season openers. The Capitals defeated the Mumbai Indians by four wickets, while the GT won by five wickets against the other new newcomers, the Lucknow Super Giants.
GT were excellent with both the bat and the ball, putting the brakes on LSG's momentum from the start. With the new ball in hand, senior pacer Mohammed Shami shook the top-order, and Lucknow would have battled to even achieve a respectable score if it hadn't been for the middle-order trio of Ayush Badoni, Deepak Hooda, and Krunal Pandya's vital knocks. Gujarat also demonstrated that they have a strong batting line-up capable of taking the game away from any opponent.
Despite Ishan Kishan's 81* off 48, Delhi's bowlers, particularly Kuldeep Yadav, appear to be peaking at the perfect time, as they restricted MI to a reasonable total of 177/5. Although their hitters dominated the game, DC can be confident in the fact that they have a strong lower-order that can be depended on in crucial situations, as Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel took them home with an unbeaten 75-run seventh-wicket stand.

Pitch report
On match day, there is no chance of rain in Pune. While dew does fall in Pune, it does not seem to be as much of a problem as it is in Mumbai. In the first match played here, the pitch was fantastic for batting and featured a little extra bounce. It's possible that this will be the case again this time, and if it is, the Gujarat Titans will be better prepared to capitalize. If the pitch is slower, however, DC's lineup features the superior spinners.
