Ishant denies Tewatia as Delhi Capitals clinch low-scoring thriller
Bottom-placed Delhi Capitals pulled off a surprise win against table-toppers Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, first surviving past Mohammed Shami’s scything four-wicket haul and then defending it with a collective bowling effort against a side that doesn’t lose many while chasing.
It was only GT’s second loss in 14 run-chases. That the standings don’t change even after the result points to the gap between the sides this season but DC were comfortably the better all-round side on the night.
Brief Scores:
Delhi Capitals 130/8 (Aman Hakim Khan 51;Mohammed Shami 4-11) beat Gujarat Titans 125/6 (Hardik Pandya 59*; Ishant Sharma 2-23, Khaleel Ahmed 2-24) by 5 runs
