DC vs GT, IPL 2023: David Miller lands in India and gets a victory for Gujarat Titans, GT win by 6 wickets

In an effort to avenge their opening-game 50-run loss to the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), the Delhi Capitals (DC) have welcomed defending champion Gujarat Titans (GT) in match 7 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.

The arrivals of Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi would be a welcome for the Delhi side, especially after lacking pace in their opening game.

As for Gujarat, they mostly have everything in place leaving Kane Williamson, who was ruled out of the tournament due to the injury he faced in the series opener. However, David Miller, who is available should be a direct swap.
