In today’s IPL match, the defending champions Gujarat Titans beat Delhi Capitals by six wickets. Delhi Capitals batted first and scored 162 for 8, with David Warner top-scoring with 37. Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan took three wickets each, while Alzarri Joseph claimed two wickets. In response, Gujarat Titans were in trouble at 54 for 3, but a 53-run partnership between B Sai Sudharsan and Vijay Shankar steadied the innings. Sudharsan scored an unbeaten half-century, and David Miller finished the game with 20 runs in the 16th over.
Delhi Capitals struggled against the pace of Shami and Joseph, and leg-spinner Rashid Khan also caused problems. None of the Capitals’ batsmen looked confident, and only Axar Patel managed to score runs freely. When Gujarat Titans came to bat, they lost their openers early, but Sudharsan and Shankar played sensibly and scored runs steadily without taking unnecessary risks. Sudharsan remained unbeaten at the end, and Miller finished the game with his trademark finishing abilities.
Overall, it was a well-deserved win for the Gujarat Titans, who have now won their second consecutive game in this IPL season. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, suffered their second straight loss, in their first home game this year.
