Delhi Capitals beat Gujarat Titans

Ishant Sharma utilised his knowledge to successfully defend 12 runs in the last over as Delhi Capitals defeated Gujarat Titans by five runs on Tuesday in Ahmedabad to maintain their IPL 2023 status. When Rahul Tewatia smoked Anrich Nortje for a hat-trick of sixes in the penultimate over while Gujarat was chasing 131, Gujarat appeared to be well on their way to victory. 

He failed to do the same against Ishant, and as Gujarat added 125/6 before running out of deliveries, Rilee Rossouw caught him for 20(7) within the 30-yard-circle. Delhi Capitals made a great start to the 130-run defence by bringing Gujarat to 32/4 in the eighth over. Then, 62 runs were added for the fifth wicket by Hardik Pandya and Abhinav Manohar, but at a dismally slow pace.
