00:00Winless after two matches, the Gujarat Titans had to make an imposing total to have a shot
00:05at victory.
00:06But losing side Sudarshan chiefly didn't have their cause.
00:12Fortunately, the skipper Shubman Gill was back in the line-up as he raised the tempo.
00:19He and Josh Butler provided the impetus needed in a stand of 60.
00:25But the Englishman was cleaned up on 54, off the bowling of Kudip Yadav.
00:30It's the end of Butler.
00:31Washington Sundar joined his skipper as Gill was leading the way.
00:35The undoing of so many batters, but Shubman Gill waited.
00:39Shubman Gill put it away, and the GT captain is back in the side and back among the runs.
00:4450 for Shubman Gill.
00:46Gill's return and needed boost as he fell after well-played at 70.
00:50Very high, fielder comes around, and catch taken.
00:54Sundar did his part getting his out century, as the Titans racked up a highly competitive
00:58total of 210 for four.
01:01And there is a four to end.
01:03Delhi Capitals have successfully chased down victory targets in their two previous matches.
01:07The statement from Nisanka taking strike tonight.
01:10But 211 is at their biggest chase yet, and they were looking up to the task.
01:15Hold the pose, Pathum Nisanka.
01:17Especially with Pathum Nisanka and Kael Rahul going after everything in the power play.
01:23Their brilliant start ended on 76, with Nisanka falling nine runs short of his 50.
01:30And Rahul was looking in fine touch, as he had no issues finding runs.
01:35But he wasn't getting the same support on the other end.
01:38He's not got any of this.
01:40Sai Sudarshan runs in.
01:42As Rashid Khan struck a double blow in the 10th over.
01:45David Miller had to retire hurt, and was soon followed by Aksa Patel at 134 for four.
01:50And Phillips.
01:52Kael Rahul was still the key, as he had a century in sight.
01:56Well, he's still there.
01:58But when he fell eight runs short of his turn, the Capitals were staring defeat in the face.
02:03There's the moment.
02:05But David Miller resumed his knock with a Cammy of 41 of 20, taking the Capitals to within
02:11two runs of victory.
02:12Right up there.
02:13But Prasheed Krishna got him with the final delivery to deliver Gujarat Titans their first
02:18victory of the IPL season.
02:20They'll win it.
02:21They think he's hit it.
02:23Terence Clark, TV6 Sport.
02:28Why don't you put that in the first number of witnesses there?
02:29Maybe he does not get to any other witnesses to the manager.
02:29Well, extravagant.
02:30That's why they win it.
02:30Let's win it.
