Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans face a weather threat for their IPL 2026 clash. Afternoon showers and thunderstorms are predicted, potentially delaying the match. While evening conditions look clearer, ground staff face a challenge.

The match is expected to proceed, but outfield and pitch conditions could be affected.

The Delhi Capitals (DC) are set to face the Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 14 of IPL 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday. However, more than the on-field action, all eyes are firmly on the weather, with the national capital experiencing unseasonal rainfall over the past few days. The ongoing IPL season has already witnessed multiple weather disruptions across the country.

The KKR vs PBKS clash in Kolkata was washed out, while the RR vs MI encounter had to be curtailed to just 11 overs per side. Now, for the third consecutive day, rain threatens to play spoilsport as Delhi braces for uncertain conditions. Afternoon Showers a Concern According to Accuweather forecasts, the weather in Delhi is expected to remain clear in the morning, but conditions could deteriorate as the day progresses.

Cloud cover is likely to increase by the afternoon, with rain and thunderstorms predicted around 1 PM to 3 PM. AccuWeather suggests there is a 51% chance of significant showers during this window, raising concerns about potential delays or impact on pitch conditions. Despite the afternoon rain threat, there is optimism for an uninterrupted match.
