GT vs DC: Delhi Capitals have defeated Gujarat Titans in a one-sided fashion by 6 wickets. In this match held at Narendra Modi Stadium, Gujarat, batting first, was limited to a score of only 89 runs. Only 3 players of GT could cross double figures. On the other hand, Delhi, while chasing the target, got a very good start as Jake Fraser McGurk took the team's score beyond 20 in the second over itself. While trying to play a big shot, McGurk got out after scoring 20 runs in 10 balls. He also hit 2 fours and 2 sixes in his innings. Meanwhile, Delhi also seemed to be in a state of struggle due to continuous fall of wickets.
After the fall of first McGurk, then Prithvi Shaw, Shay Hope and Abhishek Porel took command. Abhishek scored 15 runs in just 7 balls in a low-scoring match and also hit 2 fours and 1 six. Delhi's score had reached 67 runs in 6 overs of powerplay, but the team had also lost 4 wickets. Although now the team needed only 23 runs to win, but the continuous fall of wickets started putting pressure on the DC batsmen. In such a situation, captain Rishabh Pant took the responsibility, who ensured the team's victory by 6 wickets by playing an innings of 16 runs in 11 balls. With this victory achieved by Delhi with 67 balls remaining, their net run rate has improved a lot.
These players shone in Delhi's victory
Delhi won this match in a one-sided manner by 6 wickets. In the first bowling, Mukesh Kumar broke the back of Gujarat Titans' batting by taking 3 wickets. Apart from them, Ishant Sharma and Tristan Stubbs also took 2 wickets in the same over and sent Gujarat on the backfoot. Actually, Jake Fraser McGurk laid the foundation of Delhi Capitals' victory. If he had not played a stormy inning of 20 runs, DC might have been under pressure in the beginning itself. After that, the rain of sixes by Abhishek Porel and Shay Hope made the match one-sided. In the end, captain Rishabh Pant became the hero of the team's victory, who scored 16 runs.
