Delhi Capitals (DC) are scheduled to take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 14th match of IPL 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Wednesday. However, more than the action on the field, all eyes are on the weather, with unseasonal rains lashing the national capital for the past few days.The ongoing IPL season has already witnessed several weather disruptions across the country. The KKR vs PBKS clash in Kolkata was scrapped, while the RR vs MI encounter had to be restricted to just 11 overs per side. Now, for the third day in a row, rain has threatened to wreak havoc as Delhi braces for uncertain conditions.Afternoon rain is a concern.According to Accuweather’s forecast, the weather in Delhi is expected to remain clear in the morning, but conditions may worsen as the day progresses. Cloud cover is expected to increase through the afternoon, with showers and thunderstorms forecast around 1 PM to 3 PM. AccuWeather suggests there is a 51% chance of significant rain during this window, raising concerns about potential delays or impacts on pitch conditions.Despite the threat of afternoon rain, the hope is for an uninterrupted match. The sun is expected to make a brief appearance between 4 PM and 6 PM, which will help dry conditions, although a 15-19% chance of light rain remains during this period. Importantly, there is no rain forecast after 7pm after the toss is scheduled. As the evening progresses, skies are expected to clear, with only gusty winds.
