After winning the toss, Gujarat Titans opted to bowl first and their bowlers restricted Delhi Capitals to 162/8. Rashid Khan and Alzarri Joseph’s collective effort with the ball helped in limiting DC’s scoring.

Chasing a target of 163 runs, Gujarat Titans got off to a good start as opener Wriddhiman Saha hit a couple of boundaries and a six off the first over from Khaleel Ahmed.
