Gujarat Titans, a formidable team, could not complete the 130-run chase. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals, who are at the bottom of the points table, managed to secure the win despite seeing few runs as yesterday's venue was famous for its bowling pitch. Last Delhi Capitals fell by four wickets in four overs but how could a strong team like Gujarat lose.
All the games held at Narendra Modi Stadium in the past have produced such results. I am very sorry for the batting of Gujarat Titans team especially as they could not go for runs. Delhi Capitals remain at the bottom of the points table despite collecting two points.
The advantage that Gujarat Titans has is that they are having a very balanced team, with plenty of allrounders. Hardik Pandya is one of the best T20 players available and his captaincy has worked like magic so far. Their mistake yesterday was that they became complacent after reducing Delhi Capitals to 23/5. They should have got them all out for a two digit total, but in the end thanks to the trio of Aman Hakim Khan - Axar Patel - Ripal Patel, DC managed to reach a total of 130. And then GT batsmen came down and tried to smash the ball, despite the fact that the track was not supportive for such style of play.
