In the quest to turn their IPL 2024 season around, the Delhi Capitals demolished the Gujarat Titans by 6 wickets to win back-to-back games.
Rishabh Pant's decision to put Gujarat into bat proved right as a super show by DC bowlers meant that GT was bowled out for a mere 88, their lowest total in IPL history.
Mukesh Sharma picked up 3 wickets while Tristan Stubbs and Ishant Sharma got 2 scalps each.
Delhi came out all guns blazing with Jake Fraser-McGurk smashing 2 sixes and 2 fours for his 20.
All batters continued to go hell for leather and despite Delhi losing 4 wickets in the process, DC made sure they won with 67 balls to spare.
The win not only gave them 2 points but also helped them drastically improve their net run rate. Hence, Delhi made a huge stride and jumped from the 9th to the 6th spot on the points table.
While Delhi has now won 2 games in a row, Gujarat have lost 4 of their last 5 games.
