In the 10th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Gujarat Titans (GT♏) defeated Delhi Capit𓆉als (DC) by 14 runs at Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Saturday.
Chasing 172, the Capitals had a terrible start, losing their top three batters – Tim Seifert (3), Prithvi Shaw (10), and Mandeep Singh (18) – cheaply when the team’s score read 34 in 4.5 overs.
Then, captain Rishabh Pant and middle-order batter Lalit Yadav tried to steady the ship. The pair stitc🍎hed a vital stand of 61 runs for the fourth wicket before Lalit (25) met an unfortunate run-out i🥀n the 12th over.
The dismissal of Lalit opened floodgates as soon Pant (43), and Axar Patel (8) became the victims of Lockie Ferguson to get reduced🐽 to 126/6 in 14.5 overs. DC kept losing wickets from thereon only to reach 157/9, losing the contest b𒅌y 14 runs.
Earlier, Shubman Gill ꧋starred with the willow for Gujarat to take his team towards a competitive total. Gill smoked 10 boundaries, including four sixes, to score a tremendous 84 from 46 deliveries.
The swashbuckling opener formed a crucial 65 runs partnership with captain Hardik Pandya, who contributed 31 off 27 balls. David Miller stayed unbeaten on 20 froꦗm 15 deliveries to help Gujarat reach 171/6 in their allotted 20 overs.
Mustafizur Rahman bagged a three-wicket haul while conceding 23 runs in his quota of 4 overs. Another left-armer, Khaleel Ahmed, picked up a coup🔴le of scalps but ended up g🔜iving away 34 runs in 4 overs.

47% of deliveries bowled by Lockie Ferguson so far have been met by a false shot(edge or play & miss) – his high pace has caused serious problems for Delhi Capitals today.
