With this win, the Titans leapfrog from third to the top of the standings, while the Capitals slip to second on the points table. That’s all from us here in Ahmedabad, but the action continues in Jaipur, where the second game of the day is already underway. The hosts, the Rajasthan Royals, have dominated the early exchanges against the Lucknow Super Giants, who won the toss and chose to bat first. Switch tabs and follow all the action from that game. See you there. Cheers!
Mitchell Starc will bowl the final over with GT needing 10 runs. Remember, in the previous game, the Rajasthan Royals needed 9 runs off the final over and Starc managed to drag the game to a Super Over. Can he do the job again for DC?
Rahul Tewatia is the new batter for GT. Also, the ball has been changed.
Is that out? Taken by Mitchell Starc at long off but Sherfane Rutherford has been asked to wait as the third umpire checks if the full toss was above the waist. The tracker shows that the ball was below the waist. Fair delivery!
Jos Buttler pulled up immediately after playing that shot and is down with cramps. The heat seems to have taken its toll. Gujarat Titans have used this pause to call for a Strategic Timeout. Not too long ago, the boundaries had dried up and it felt like pressure was building. That bubble finally burst with an 18-run over off Mohit Sharma, and since then, Delhi Capitals have struggled to contain the flow of runs. This break in play has come at just the right time for Delhi Capitals, who find themselves under the pump and in desperate need of a breakthrough. The momentum has swung towards the Titans, and DC will be hoping to regroup, reset, and come back with a wicket to turn things around.
