IPL 2024 Playoffs Race: Delhi Capitals Take Over Gujarat Titans at Sixth Place in the Points Table Following DC vs. GT
In an exciting run-fest, the Delhi Capitals (DC) defeated the Gujarat Titans (GT) by four runs on Wednesday to win their fourth Indian Premier League (IPL) match of 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Following skipper Rishabh Pant’s explosive 88 off 43 balls, Axar Patel smashed a 43-ball 66 to help DC reach an overwhelming 224/4. From B, David Miller and Sai Sudharsan both lost their lives—65 for Sudarshan and 55 for Miller—but GT was unable to match their efforts. In a true run-fest, DC prevailed in the end to earn the vital two points.
Ultimately, Rashid Khan gave GT hope with an undefeated cameo of 11 balls and 21 runs. With 19 runs needed in the last over, Rashid started by hitting Mukesh for a four in the distance between long-on and mid-wicket. Rashid was ready to cut over extra cover for a boundary as the bowler pitched it wide. Following two dot balls, Rashid hit a six-figure shot over long off. Rashid struck off a yorker with three runs required from the last ball, but DC kept their nerve to win narrowly. The ball went one bounce to far.
With the victory, DC moved up to sixth place in the points standings, while GT dropped to seventh, pushing Mumbai Indians (MI) to eighth.
