Gujarat: Aryan Desai played a good knock of 77 runs in the first game. He showed good skill against the new ball and played a perfect anchor role.
Delhi: Virat Kohli now has three centuries and two half-centuries in the last five List A innings. That tells the dream patch he is going through at the moment.
DEL vs GUJ: Probable Best Bowler
Gujarat: Arzan Nagwaswalla bowled a brilliant new-ball spell against Services and set the tone. His ability to swing the ball at good speed makes him a dangerous bowler.
Delhi: Simranjeet Singh has become an improved bowler. He takes wickets with the new ball and has developed death-bowling skills as well.
Delhi vs Gujarat Today’s Match Prediction:Gujarat have a good attack. They have bowlers who can take wickets with the new ball, and Ravi Bishnoi takes wickets in the middle. Delhi have big names in their bowling unit, but they looked rusty in the first game. But when we compare the two batting units, Delhi look miles ahead. The presence of Virat Kohli, with the form he is in, makes them favorites for this game over Gujarat on Friday.
