Match summary
In a thrilling finish at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Rashid Khan nearly took Gujarat Titans home in their pursuit of 225 against Delhi Capitals, but a yorker from Mukesh Kumar in the final ball thwarted that challenge and helped the hosts complete a thrilling four-run victory.
For Rashid to have a chance at chasing an improbable 19 runs off the final over, the Titans had B Sai Sudharsan (65) and David Miller (55) to thank. Their quick fifties kept Titans within touching distance of the climbing required run-rate, and for a brief moment at the end, it felt like they had timed their chase perfectly. However, that wasn't to be, and the Titans went down to the Capitals for the second time in seven days.
The Capitals themselves had to climb out of a hole to post 224 for 4 in the first innings. Sandeep Warrier's 3 for 15 in the powerplay had left the Capitals struggling at 44 for 3, but Rishabh Pant's masterful 43-ball 88 and Axar Patel's 66 from No. 3 resurrected their innings. Axar then took three catches, took one wicket, and ably supported Kuldeep Yadav (2 for 29) with the ball to ensure the Capitals did just about enough on the night.
