GT lost to DC by six wickets.
In the end, Delhi Capitals found it too simple. Delhi made no mistakes in the game against the Gujarat Titans at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, winning both the toss and the match. The hosts were 30/4 at one point when they were batting first and lost wickets like a house of cards. Following a brief alliance, their numbers were whittled down to 48/6, seemingly signaling Gujarat’s demise.
But Rashid Khan saved Gujarat from an unpleasant scenario with a solid knock of 31 runs off 24 deliveries. To help the Shubman Gill-led team get bowled out for ninety runs, star bowler Mukesh Kumar claimed three wickets, Ishant Sharma and Tristan Stubbs each claimed two wickets.

Jake Fraser-McGurk gave DC a terrific start in the chase, but they also lost wickets frequently. The management shouldn’t be satisfied losing four wickets on a pitch that didn’t affect them much with the bat, even though the visitors were never under pressure. They attempted to play aggressive cricket, but ultimately failed, losing four wickets. Nevertheless, DC secured a six-wicket victory and solidified their standing on the standings.
- GT batters’ amateur cricket team
After dropping a few wickets, the GT batters appeared incredibly uneasy, which ultimately proved to be their undoing. In the end, they were bundled out for ninety runs since none of their hitters displayed maturity. At this juncture, they need a senior middle-order hitter, and Kane Williamson appears to be the ideal choice.
- All departments saw a clinical DC defeat GT.
Delhi bowlers achieved the desired outcome by bowling in the appropriate spots. They gave up wickets at the bat, but they played aggressive cricket and finished the job in 8.5 overs. The excellent catching of Rishabh Pant and the bowling of Mukesh Kumar and Stubbs were big pluses for DC.

Shubman Gill, the outgoing captain, said:
Our batting was very average, and it is important to move on and come back strong. The wicket was alright, if you see some of the dismissals, it had nothing to do with the pitch. Poor shot selection I would say. When the opposition are chasing 89, unless someone takes a double hat-trick, the opposition will always be in the game. This is just the halfway mark of the season for us, we have won 3 and hopefully we win another 5-6 from the next 7 like in the last couple of years.
Rishabh Pant, the winning captain and POTM, stated:
Lots of things to be pleased about. We talked about the champion thought process and our team showed today that we can play like that and really happy to see that. [on the bowling] Definitely one of the best, it’s early on in the tournament, can’t say much as we can improve individually. The only thought process before coming on to the field was coming in a better way, that’s the only thought when I was going through my rehab. The only conversation we had before the chase was – let’s get it as early as possible, we lost a few run-rate points earlier and we covered it up. We just love being in Ahmedabad, we love the stadium, the vibe here and looking forward to play more matches here. We just want to enjoy our win, one at a time and move forward learning from it.
