New Delhi: The IPL 2026 clash between the Delhi Capitals and the Gujarat Titans is scheduled to be played today at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium. However, the biggest concern ahead of the match revolves around the weather, reports Dynamite News correspondent.
Heavy rain lashed Delhi just a day before the match, sending a clear signal that the weather has not yet completely cleared up. Consequently, fans are left wondering whether today's match will also be affected.
According to the weather report, there remains a chance of rain during the evening hours.
6:00 PM: Approximately 18% chance of rain
7:00 PM: 14%
8:00 PM: 17%
9:00 PM: 8%
10:00 PM: 4%
11:00 PM: 0%
This implies that light rain could cause interruptions during the start of the match and the middle overs; however, the weather is expected to clear up as the night progresses.
Recently, rain had a significant impact on matches played in Guwahati—one match was reduced to 11 overs per side, while another ended without a result.
Given this context, if it rains in Delhi as well, the match could either be shortened or face a delayed start.
When looking at the records of both teams, the Gujarat Titans hold a slight advantage.
Total Matches: 7
Gujarat Wins: 4
Delhi Wins: 3
Gujarat also won both matches played during the previous season, a fact that will undoubtedly bolster their confidence.
The Delhi Capitals boast players like KL Rahul, Axar Patel, and Mitchell Starc—individuals capable of turning the tide of a match.
On the other hand, the Gujarat Titans squad features big names such as Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill, and Mohammed Siraj—players capable of delivering strong performances under any circumstances.
What Does the Overall Scenario Suggest? If the weather holds up, we could witness an exciting contest. However, if rain intervenes, the enjoyment of the match might be dampened, or the number of overs could be reduced.
For now, all eyes are fixed on the sky.
