In a thrilling contest, GT chased down a challenging 204, securing a seven-wicket victory and solidifying their position at the top of the points table.
Delhi Capitals’ Strong Start, Then a Crumbling Middle Order
DC started explosively. Abhishek Porel’s 16-run blitz in the first over set the tone, but Arshad Khan quickly stemmed the flow. KL Rahul continued the assault, powering DC to 50 in just four overs. However, Prasidh Krishna’s incisive bowling changed the game’s momentum.
Krishna’s yorker trapped Rahul LBW, a crucial breakthrough that shifted the balance. Karun Nair’s impressive 31 (18 balls) contributed to a strong powerplay score of 73/2, a season’s best for DC. But Krishna wasn’t done; he dismissed Nair, leaving DC needing a strong partnership to post a competitive total.
Axar and Stubbs Rebuild, But Krishna Remains Dominant
A 53-run stand between Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs provided some much-needed stability. They targeted Rashid Khan, launching a few towering sixes, and propelled DC to 150/4 by the 15th over.
Despite this resurgence, Krishna continued his impressive spell, ultimately claiming four crucial wickets for just 41 runs, earning him the Purple Cap for the match.
DC’s Late Surge and GT’s Early Setback
A late flourish from Ashutosh Sharma (37 off 19 balls) propelled DC to a respectable 203/8. GT suffered an early blow when Shubman Gill was run out in the second over, a direct hit from Karun Nair.
Gujarat Titans’ Composed Chase
Despite the early setback, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler steadied the ship. Their 60-run partnership set the platform for a successful chase, putting GT at 73/1 after 7 overs. Kuldeep Yadav’s dismissal of Sudharsan (36 off 21 balls) briefly threatened GT’s progress, but Buttler remained unfazed.
Buttler’s Masterclass and Tewatia’s Finishing Touch
Buttler played an incredible innings, scoring an unbeaten 97 off 54 balls. His composed yet aggressive batting was the cornerstone of GT’s chase.
The final over, bowled by Mitchell Starc, saw Rahul Tewatia hit two consecutive boundaries, securing a dramatic victory with four balls to spare. This win was a testament to Buttler’s mastery and Tewatia’s cool head under pressure.
