Delhi Capitals won by 6 wickets
Losing skipper Shubman Gill said:
"Our batting was very average, and it is important to move on and come back strong. The wicket was alright, if you see some of the dismissals, it had nothing to do with the pitch. Poor shot selection I would say. When the opposition are chasing 89, unless someone takes a double hat-trick, the opposition will always be in the game. This is just the halfway mark of the season for us, we have won 3 and hopefully we win another 5-6 from the next 7 like in the last couple of years," Gill said.

Here's what Tristan Stubbs said after the first innings:
"Amazing to get wickets, the boys bowled beautifully out there, the seamers started well upfront, our two spinners, they're world-class. I was just trying to hit the wicket, whatever happens happens, but fortunately it worked. I saw him coming down (on the stumping against Shahrukh). I've been bowling to Rishabh at the nets whenever he's batting, hoping that I'll get to bowl by fluke (during the match), I was going towards long-on when I was called up. We have watched enough IPL, there's always a twist, we'll have to start well and tick them off. I called my dad yesterday, he doesn't like the way cricket's going (on it becoming a batter's game), but I think it's the extra player option which has been the reason for the way the game's going (this IPL)" Stubbs said.
AND THATS IT
GT got bundled out for 89 runs. Mukesh Kumar picked up the final wicket as Noor departed for one. Stay tuned for the chase.

The Gujarat-based franchise has had a decent IPL 2024 campaign under the leadership of their new skipper Shubman Gill so far.
They are coming off a brilliant win over table-toppers Rajasthan Royals and are riding high in confidence before they face the Delhi side. Gill and opener Sai Sudharsan have been in great form and are scoring runs consistently while the lower-order is also firing with the bat as the Ttians have experienced hitters like Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan who can give that late flourish.
However, the major concern is their struggling middle order. With Kane Williamson on the bench, the Titans do not have a strong campaigner in the middle to anchor the innings. The bowling unit is regularly taking wickets but is conceding a substantial number of runs and allowing the opponents team to come back in the game.
Meanwhile, the Rishabh Pant-led side has not enjoyed the level of success they would have hoped for. However, they are coming off a solid win over Lucknow Super Giants in their previous match. One of the key factors behind Delhi's losses has been the lack of consistent performance by the team.
Skipper Pant has been in incredible form and is a crucial factor that can help DC get the necessary runs towards the end of their innings. The bowling performance also has been a significant concern this season. Despite having bowlers like Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje, Ishant Sharma, and Jhye Richardson, the team has not been able to produce the desired results.

Shubman Gill (C), Sai Sudarshan, Matthew Wade (WK), Azmatullah Omarzai, Abhinav Manohar, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Umesh Yadav, Spencer Johnson, Noor Ahmed
