Gujarat Titans registered their second consecutive victory in the ongoing IPL season.
Asked to bat first, GT rode on opener Shubman Gill’s classy 84 off 46 balls to post a highly competitive 171/6 in their 20 overs. Skipper Hardik Pandya (31 off 27 balls) and David Miller (20* off 15 balls) also made notable contributions with the bat.
Left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman was the stand-out bowler for DC, claiming three wickets by conceding 23 runs in his four overs.
With the ball, the Titans restricted the Capitals to 157/9 in 20 overs. Many of the Delhi batters got starts but failed to take the team over the line. Skipper Rishabh Pant top scored with 29-ball 43 while no other managed to touch the 30-run mark.
Lockie Ferguson starred with the ball for Gujarat as he took four wickets by giving away only 28 runs in his four overs. Hardik Pandya (1-22), Mohammad Shami (1-30), and Rashid Khan (1-30) also returned with impressive figures for the Titans.
For their all-round performance, Hardik Pandya and company received rich praise from the cricket fraternity on Twitter.
