Toss Prediction
Both the IPL matches of the previous season as well as the only T20 international to be played this year at the Green Park have all been won by the side batting second. So the toss-winning team might want to have a bowl first here. Gujarat Lions won the toss in both their matches at this venue last year and we predict them to win it again on Wednesday.

GL Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Gujarat Lions have no injury issues to deal with as all their players are match fit. The team is likely to go into this game with an unchanged lineup.
Key Players
Suresh Raina and Dinesh Karthik have been the most consistent of all the batsmen in the side and these two will be the key when it comes to batting. The two scored 77 and 65 respectively against the Delhi Daredevils in the reverse fixture and the team will want them to fire again. Since the pitch is expected to support the spinners, Gujarat Lions will look to Ravindra Jadeja for taking wickets and putting the brakes on Delhi's scoring.
Recent Form
Out of contention for the playoffs, Gujarat Lions spoiled Kings XI Punjab's party when they beat them by six wickets in the last match. Their batsmen have done a good job in the last three games but the same cannot be said about their bowlers who conceded 189 runs in the previous game and failed to defend 208 in the game before.

DC Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Delhi Daredevils have undergone a reduction in their overseas contingent as Chris Morris, Kagiso Rabada and Angelo Mathews have departed to join their respective national teams to prepare for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. Carlos Brathwaite might be brought in as replacement for Rabada.
Key Players
Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant had played match-winning knocks of 61 and 97 respectively when Gujarat Lions last faced the Delhi Daredevils in the 42nd match of the season. Both have scored the most runs for the team and they will be the ones to watch out for with the bat. The Lions will rely mainly on Pat Cummins for providing the early breakthroughs. The fast bowler has taken 11 wickets overall and he was also impressive with figures of 2 for 30 in the reverse fixture.
Recent Form
It is almost curtains for the Delhi Daredevils in the IPL 2017 as they don't seem to have a chance of qualifying for the playoffs even if they do win their remaining three matches. With eight points in the bag, they are languishing at the penultimate spot on the league table.
DD Predicted Playing 11

Z Khan (c), SV Samson, KK Nair, SS Iyer, RR Pant (wk), CJ Anderson, MN Samuels, PJ Cummins, Carlos Brathwaite, A Mishra, Mohammed Shami

GL vs DD Head to Head
Only three matches have been played between the two teams in the Indian Premier League. While first one was won by Gujarat Lions, the next two were won by the Delhi Daredevils. When they faced each other last week at the Feroz Shah Kotla, the Daredevils chased down the Lions' total of 208 with ease to win the game by seven wickets.
GL vs DD Betting Odds
Delhi Daredevils have suffered two batting collapses in their last four games and have won just two of their past six games. But bookmakers are showing faith in the visitors and are offering lower price on them. The Daredevils are 1.94 with Betfair and as short as 1.80 with Bet365. Gujarat Lions too have not been impressive in this season of the Indian Premier League and therefore find themselves up at 2.04 with betfair and 2 with bet365.
GL vs DD Prediction
It has been yet another dismal performance by the Delhi Daredevils in the IPL. The inexperienced top-order batting lineup has been the major chink in the side, and more often than not, this has put additional pressure on their bowlers. And now with Morris, Rabada and Mathews gone, the side no longer seems to be as threatening with the ball as it was earlier.
Though Gujarat Lions have not been much impressive themselves this season, but they are now looking stonger than the Daredevils on paper. Moreover, having never lost at this ground will make the team more optimistic. The Lions have the momentum from the win in their last game and we feel they are better placed to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Gujarat Lions to beat Delhi Daredevils in the 50th match of IPL 2017 at 2.04 with betfair and 2 with bet365.
