In their Indian Premier League encounter, the Delhi Capitals thrashed the Gujarat Titans by six wickets on Wednesday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in this city. With five of the six bowlers for DC conceding fewer than six runs per over, they bowled brilliantly, and GT was bowled out for 89, their lowest IPL total. For the first time this season, DC won two games in a row after chasing down the target with over 11 overs remaining.
A usually quick 10-ball 20 was scored by Jake Fraser-McGurk, who also smashed a magnificent first-ball six—straight over the head of rookie speedster Sandeep Warrier. Fraser-McGurk’s aggressiveness was met with equal vigour by Abhishek Porel, Shai Hope, and Rishabh Pant as DC surged from a pitiful ninth place in the league to sixth.
