New Delhi: As Delhi Capitals prepare to face Gujarat Titans, the biggest talking point isn’t just form or team combinations—it’s the weather.
After two consecutive rain-affected games in the Indian Premier League, fans are once again watching the skies ahead of the clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Will it rain during DC vs GT?
Forecasts suggest that rain is likely in the evening, with cloud cover expected during match hours. However, there’s some relief:
- Showers are expected early in the game
- Conditions may improve as the match progresses
- A short delay is possible, but a full game is still likely
So while rain could interrupt play briefly, it is unlikely to completely wash out the match.
DC’s momentum vs GT’s urgency
- Delhi Capitals have started strong, winning both their opening matches
- Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, are looking to bounce back after two losses
Any rain interruption could disrupt DC’s rhythm, while GT would be hoping for a smooth game to reset their campaign.

Weather has already played spoilsport in recent matches:
- Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings was abandoned after just 3.4 overs
- Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians in Guwahati was reduced to an 11-over contest
With back-to-back disruptions, concerns around weather have intensified.
What fans can expect
- Possible delayed start
- Brief interruption due to passing showers
- High chances of a completed match
Conclusion
While rain remains a factor in Delhi, current forecasts indicate that it may only cause a minor hiccup rather than a full washout. If the skies cooperate, fans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium could still witness a full-fledged contest between a confident DC side and a determined GT unit.
