Youngster Jake Fraser-McGurk will be under pressure to deliver in Mitchell Marsh&#8217;s absence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>GT:<\/strong>&nbsp;The team misses Hardik Pandya and Mohammad Shami. Their recent win against Rajasthan Royals will be a confidence booster. However, their batting lineup lacks stability with David Miller&#8217;s availability uncertain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Venue and Pitch Conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The match will be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where only one high-scoring game has been played in three attempts so far. Expect hot weather conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>GT leads the head-to-head record 2-1, but DC won their last encounter at this venue in a low-scoring thriller.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Team Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>GT:<\/strong>&nbsp;David Miller&#8217;s return could force a reshuffle in the playing XI. Shubman Gill&#8217;s record against key DC bowlers like Ishant Sharma and Kuldeep Yadav is promising.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DC:<\/strong>&nbsp;Openers Prithvi Shaw and David Warner have an upper hand against most GT bowlers.
