Here are the Highlights from the IPL 2023 game between DC and GT, straight from Delhi:
10 runs came off Khaleel Ahmed's fourth over and GT need only two runs to win off 12 balls. They are only one hit away from their second victory of the season.
Sai Sudharsan races to his second IPL fifty with an upper cut for a four on the bowling of Anrich Nortje. He later played pull shot for six over fine leg to end the over with 14 runs.
A fuller ball outside off stump and David Miller hits it over long-on fence for a six. He then hits the final delivery of the over for a four and now GT need 26 runs off 24 balls.
Delhi Capitals have broken the 53-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Mitchell Marsh smartly bowled a slower delivery to outfox Vijay Shankar as the latter was trapped in front of the stumps. Umpire was unconvinced but DC went upstairs and found out that the ball would have hit the middle and leg stump.
A 5-run over from Anrich Nortje and the required run rate is 8.14 now for GT. Doesn't seem to be a matter to worry so far as both Sai Sudharsana and Vijay Shankar are set at the crease.
Nine runs from the over of Kuldeep Yadav and GT are going well in the chase. They need 80 more to win off the remaining 60 balls. The match is perfectly poised, even if GT are a bit ahead in their chase of 163.
Nine runs from the over of Kuldeep Yadav and GT are going well in the chase. They need 80 more to win off the remaining 60 balls. The match is perfectly poised, even if GT are a bit ahead in their chase of 163.
It was a slower ball from Mukesh Kumar that too with width provided outside off stump. Sai Sudharsan hit it for a four. A total of 8 runs came off the over.
Delhi Capitals had reviewed a caught behind dismissal against Sai Sudharsan. They moved upstairs as umpire was unconvinced with the appeal. UltraEdge revealed that the ball didn't brush the bat of Sudharsan.
Hardik Pandya has been squared up by Khaleel Ahmed. He gets an outside edge and wicketkeeper Abishek Porel collects the ball behind the stumps to end Hardik's knock. GT are three down. Vijay Shankar comes in next as an Impact Player.
A quality cover drive from Hardik Pandya and GT get 13 runs off Anrich Nortje's second over. They are going well in the chase despite losing the wickets of Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill.
This is smart batting from Sai Sudharsan. He knew Anrich Nortje has sheer pace and therefore decided to go scoop his free-hit delivery. He connected it well and the ball comfortably sailed over the fine leg fence for a six.
Oh, that's another stunning delivery from Anrich Nortje and Gill succumbs to it. Lack of footwork and the length ball hit Gill's pad before hitting his stumps. He departs for 14 runs off 13 balls.
Shubman Gill is batting really well from the other end. Despite losing the wicket of Saha in the third over, he hit Anrich Nortje for two beautiful fours.
Anrich Nortje has cleaned up Wriddhiman Saha. It was so quick and tough delivery that Saha literally had no chance to save himself. The ball went into him after pitching the surface. It hit his front pad before rattling the stumps.
Wriddhiman Saha hit two consecutive fours to Khaleel Ahmed before hitting him for a six in the first over. The ball is coming really nice on the bat and Saha took full advantage of it.
That is a fighting total for DC on the board, considering the fact that the surface is really good for the bowlers. A good start in bowling could really keep DC in the game.
Axar Patel starts the final over with a stunning six over long-on. It was bowled short by Mohammed Shami. Axar pulled it so well that even though one of his hands slipped in the process, the ball went deep into the stands.
Aman Hakim Khan hit a six on the third ball of Rashid Khan's last over but the star spinner was quick to bounce back. Hakim Khan got an edge and was dismissed for run-a-ball 8.
Sarfaraz Khan hit a four on the first delivery of the over bowled by Rashid Khan, but lost his wicket on the very next ball. Joshua Little took the catch in deep to end the innings of Sarfaraz. He scored 30 runs off 34 balls.
Joshua Little bowls a 5-run over and Delhi Capitals continue to find run scoring tough. While Axar Patel has been batting well, Sarfaraz Khan is batting with a strike rate of 81 and needs to accelerate.
Axar Patel gets this one from the middle of his bat and the ball comfortably goes over the boundary rope for a six. Rashid Khan bowled it too full and Axar didn't shy away from flexing his muscles and hitting the ball over long-on for a six.
Rashid Khan breaks the 34-run partnership for the fifth wicket by removing Abishek Porel. The southpaw wanted to drive the ball but was beaten by pace. He gets out for 20 runs off 11 balls.
Yash Dayal had trapped Sararaz Khan but the mid-on fielder dropped the tough chance to see the batter survive. It was hit high in the air that certainly made it tough Joshua Little, who ran to his back in time but failed to take the catch.
The play has been halted for a while as Porel has taken a blow on his helmet on the very next ball of Alzarri Joseph. The physio is checking Porel him currently.
Abishek Porel has hit a six towards the third man region. The fielder at the fence did take the catch but stepped out of the boundary line after taking it.
Sarfaraz Khan and debutant Abishek Porel have added 11 runs off 9 balls for the fifth wicket so far. Delhi Capitals will hope from the duo to take their innings deep before the side goes ahead for a competitive total.
Alzarri Joseph had dismissed Rilee Rossouw for a first-ball duck to claim two wickets in two balls. New batter Abishek Porel managed to survive the hat-trick ball though.
David Warner has kept the scoreboard ticking for Delhi Capitals despite losing the wickets of Prithvi Shaw and Mitchell Marsh. The southpaw is batting on 37 off 30 balls. Gujarat Titans could truly be back in the game if they manage to get the wicket of Warner here.
David Warner is now accelerating a bit. He is troubling the GT bowlers. The southpaw smacked Alzarri Joseph for two fours in his first over and a total of 11 runs came off it.
Delhi Capitals might have lost two important wickets but they have got to a really good total in the first powerplay. David Warner holds one end tight and he just needs someone to support him from the other end.
Mitchell Marsh has played the ball on his stumps and DC are two down. It was bowled outside off stump from Mohammed Shami and Marsh failed to judge the line well. He departs for 4 runs.
A four from David Warner on the final delivery of Joshua Little's second over and a boundary from the bat of Mitchell Marsh on the first delivery of Mohammed Shami's over.
