The 32nd match of the Indian Premier League 2024 saw Gujarat Titans take on the Delhi Capitals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Rishabh Pant won the toss and decided to bowl first and it turned out to be a great decision for his side. Pant hesitated a little bit at the toss and decided to bowl instead, but his bowlers were too strong for the opposition batters, who at times appeared to be incompetent.
Today against the Gujarat Titans on the pitch today, the Capitals were a force to reckon with as they were top-notch in their catching, stumping, fielding and bowling in the first innings.Although most of the batters were recipients of their very own poor decisions, you could argue that the pitch is slower than average with the occasional ball staying low.
The Gujarat Titans' lower order displayed some grit as they attempted to form partnerships and score runs. With some excellent stumpings behind the wicket, Rishabh Pant was able to break the rhythm of their innings. Tristan Stubbs took two wickets during his maiden over, so it was a wise move to bowl him. Even with Rashid Khan's significant 31-run cameo, the home team was only able to notch up 89 runs on the scoreboard.
Delhi Capitals complete Gujarat Titans hammering
At the top, Jake Fraser-McGurk threatened to put the chase away quickly, but a brilliant delivery from Spencer Johnson sent him back to the pavilion. Debutant Sandeep Warrier added a few of wickets at the end but it was not going to restrict the opposition at all. They never lost sight of the NRR and continued pursuing it as Delhi Capitals ultimately completed it in just 8.5 overs.
This win should greatly increase their NRR and a very strong showing away from home for them meant a quick finish to the game and a completely unexpected outcome. This could have a significant negative impact on the hosts’ NRR in the long run and would be looking to bounce back from this defeat in the IPL 2024 as soon as possible.
