🏏IPL 2023: Match 44 - DC vs GT on 02/05/2023 at 7:30 PM IST 🏏 - Page 61

Nick Knight during the pitch report reckoned this would be a flat deck where 180 would be the par score. How wrong was he, and how wrong would most of us have been at the halfway stage when Delhi Capitals scampered their way to 130 runs, after reeling at 23/5 at one stage. With their backs to the wall, the Capitals came out fighting and outfought the champions... They got the perfect start with a wicket maiden from Khaleel, and then Nortje dismissed the other opener Shubman Gill. Vijay Shankar was deceived by a top quality Ishant Sharma knuckle ball, and then David Miller was out playing an uncharecteristic shot to be dismissed for zero. GT found a way back through skipper Hardik and Abhinav Manohar, and they batted out the tough stages, but ate up too many bowls. Axar and Kuldeep kept things quiet as the asking rate kept rising, but both GT batters couldn't connect despite their best efforts. However, there came a sting in the tale as Rahul Tewatia walked out and smoked three consecutive sixes, but it wasn't to be his night. It was to be the night of a forgotten man of Indian cricket, as Ishant Sharma held his nerve to defend 12 off the last over and give Delhi a victory.

POTM gonna be aman?

Sameeee

I predicted GT to win

But was hoping DC wins 😆

Delhi's bowlers misfired on their yorkers an excessive amount of times down the stretch sending down a plethora of full tosses. But Gujarat could only capitalize on them twice with Tewatia v Nortie in the 19th over. Otherwise, Hardik and Rashid missed out on a number of juice grapefruit deliveries that should have disappeared over the boundary and that was the difference down the stretch. Shami's extraordinary new ball spell in the first innings goes to waste. Ricky Ponting is bursting out of his seat with joy seeing his charges come back to get a rare win.
