Delhi Capitals Defeat Gujarat Titans by 4 runs in IPL 2024

In a thrilling match, the Delhi Capitals narrowly defeated the Gujarat Titans by four runs. The fielding errors of Delhi nearly cost them the match, but Stubbs' crucial save in the penultimate over secured the win. While chasing the target of 224 runs featured Sudharsan's 65 and Miller's quick 55, key wickets, including Nortje's early dismissal of captain Gill, stalled their progress. Despite the efforts of GT and taking the game deep, they fell short by one hit.
On the other side, the Delhi Capitals posted an imposing total of 224 runs after Jake Fraser-McGurk and Prithvi Shaw provided a solid start. Their partnership ended abruptly, briefly stalling the run rate, but the team recovered because of Axar Patel, promoted to number 3, and Rishabh Pant. The duo forged a resilient 113-run partnership, with Axar reaching his fifty and Pant staying unbeaten on 88. Pant's 31 runs in the final over helped Delhi post a challenging total.
