DC chased down GT's paltry target of 90 with 67 deliveries to spare.
Asked to bat first, GT’s innings folded for a paltry 89 in 17.3 overs. It was a listless batting display as no one managed to touch the 40-run mark. Rashid Khan was the top scorer with 31 off 24 balls.
Mukesh Kumar starred with the ball for DC, claiming three wickets by conceding 14 runs in his 2.3 overs. Ishant Sharma and Tristan Stubbs picked up two scalps each while Akshar Patel and Khaleel Ahmed returned with wicket apiece.
In reply, the Capitals overhauled the target without breaking a sweat. While Jake Fraser-McGurk produced a blistering cameo of 10-ball 20 at the top, skipper Rishabh Pant (16* off 11) and Sumit Kumar (9*) stayed till the end to seal the deal in 8.5 overs.
With this victory, Delhi Capitals moved to the sixth spot in the 10-team points table. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans slumped to the seventh spot in the team standings.
For their clinical display with both bat and ball, Delhi Capitals received rich praise from the cricket fraternity on social media.
