Delhi Capitals (DC) managed to edge Gujarat Titans (GT) by four runs in a thrilling run-fest to secure their fourth win of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday.
After captain Rishabh Pant slammed an unbeaten 88 off 43 balls, while Axar Patel hit a 43-ball 66 to lift DC to a mammoth 224/4. Fifties from B Sai Sudharsan and David Miller went in vain – 65 from Sudarshan and 55 from Miller – GT couldn’t do enough. DC triumphed in the end to get those crucial two points in a proper run-fest.
In the end, Rashid Khan gave GT hope with a 11-ball 21-run unbeaten cameo. The equation came down to 19 runs in the final over, and Rashid began by whipping Mukesh for a four in the gap between long-on and mid-wicket. When the pacer pitched it wide, Rashid was quick to slash over extra cover for a boundary. After two dot balls, Rashid lofted a six over long-off. With three runs needed off the last ball, Rashid hit off a yorker, but the ball went one bounce to long-off, as DC held their nerve to get a tight win.
