Delhi has won the toss and decided to bowl.
The 32nd match of the ongoing IPL season is being played between Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals (GT vs DC). Let us tell you that in this match being played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Delhi has won the toss and decided to bowl first.
So, this decision of team captain Rishabh Pant has been proved absolutely right by the bowlers of the team. Gujarat’s top order has proved to be a miserable failure in front of Delhi’s amazing bowling. In the very second over of Gujarat’s innings, experienced Ishant Sharma got infielder Shubhman Gill (8) caught out by Prithvi Shaw.
After this, in the fourth over, Mukesh Kumar dismissed opener Wriddhiman Saha on a total score of 2 runs. So on the first ball of the fourth over, Sumit Kumar completely pushed Gujarat on the back foot by running out Sai Sudarshan (12).
Also, after this, Ishant got veteran batsman David Miller (2) caught out by Rishabh Pant behind the wicket on the last ball of the 5th over. In the match, Gujarat scored only 30 runs and lost 4 wickets in the powerplay. So this is the second lowest powerplay score of the ongoing IPL season.
On the other hand, if we look at the condition of the match, Gujarat has scored 43 runs at the loss of 4 wickets after 8 overs. At present, Rahul Tewatia is present at the crease with 7 runs and Abhinav Manohar with 4 runs. It will be interesting to see how many runs Gujarat manages to set before Delhi after this bad start.
