Delhi Capitals delivered a commanding performance at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, clinching a six-wicket victory over the hosts Gujarat Titans with 67 balls to spare. With this triumph, the Capitals ascended to the sixth position in the IPL 2024 points table.
Here are the significant turning points that shaped the game in Ahmedabad:
The Ishant Sharma Show
Ishant Sharma initiated proceedings by dismissing Shubman Gill, providing Delhi with an ideal start. However, it was his second over that showcased the brilliance reminiscent of vintage Ishant.
Bowling from round the wicket, Ishant bamboozled David Miller, inducing an inside edge that was safely pouched by the keeper. This over saw Gujarat losing two wickets, with Sai Sudharsan also falling victim to a run-out.
Despite losing four wickets in the powerplay, Gujarat remained hopeful of recovery with Rahul Tewatia and Abhinav Manohar at the crease. However, Tristan Stubbs turned the tide unexpectedly.
A wicket-keeper by trade, Stubbs’ unconventional off-spin claimed the prized wickets of Manohar and impact player M Shahrukh Khan in the same over. With Gujarat six down and no support for Tewatia but Rashid, the game firmly swung in favor of the Capitals during the ninth over.
