GT vs DC Match Highlights:
The Delhi Capitals (DC) thrashed the Gujarat Titans by six wickets on Wednesday (April 17) to register their third win in IPL 2024. After bowling out GT for just 89 runs, DC chased down the target in the ninth over at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Jake Fraser-McGurk provided DC with a fast start, scoring 20 runs with two fours and two sixes. He was dismissed by Spencer Johnson in the second over. Sandeep Warrier then dismissed Prithvi Shaw for six in the third over, reducing DC to 31-2.
A 34-run stand between Abhishek Porel and Shai Hope tilted the game decisively in DC's favor. The duo departed in quick succession, but captain Rishabh Pant and Sumit Kumar shared an unbeaten 25-run stand to take DC home comfortably.
Earlier, DC bowlers justified their captain's decision to bowl first by bowling out GT for a meager 89 runs. It was GT's lowest total in the IPL.
Ishant Sharma gave DC the first breakthrough in the second over, dismissing GT captain Shubman Gill for 8. Wriddhiman Saha could manage only 2 runs. GT lost the wickets of Sai Sudharsan (12) and David Miller (2) within the powerplay, finding themselves reeling at 30-4 in the fifth over.
Abhinav Manohar and Rahul Tewatia shared a 17-run stand before both departed on successive deliveries, leaving their team on 48-6. A 31-run knock from Rashid Khan provided some respectability to the total. He was the only GT batsman to reach double digits and score more than 12 runs. The other players to reach double digits were Sudharsan (12) and Tewatia (10).
For DC, Mukesh Kumar picked up three wickets, while Ishant Sharma and Tristan Stubbs claimed two wickets each.
