Ferguson and Gill shine for Gujarat Titans in a 14-run victory over Delhi Capitals

In the end, Ferguson and Gill shine Gujarat’s 171/6 proved sufficient. They won by a score of 14 runs. Shubman Gill and Lockie Ferguson were the driving forces behind their victory. With the score at 142/7 and 30 runs needed off the final three overs, it was Rovman Powell or bust for the Delhi Capitals.

Mohammed Shami had the ball, and the Jamaican was batting on 20 off 11 deliveries. The fast bowler had given up 27 runs in his previous three overs. But when the hour came, his class shone through. First, Powel was caught leg-first by an incoming delivery that skidded off the surface. Then, Khaleel Ahmed was accounted for by another angled-in delivery that reared off a length.

Mustafizur Rahman prevented a hat-trick, but he should have been out on the last ball of the over. However, a substitute, Jayant Yadav, made a difficult catch at fine leg.

On the other hand, Gujarat Titans were able to relax by that point. Shami’s victory had tipped the scales in their favor. But, thanks to Pant’s 29-ball 43 and Powell’s power-hitting, Delhi remained in the game.

In the end, Gujarat’s 171/6 proved sufficient.

They won by a score of 14 runs. Shubman Gill and Lockie Ferguson were the driving forces behind their victory.

Ferguson entered the fray in the fifth over and hit the deck hard. The speed gun read 138kph, but Prithvi Shaw was late on the pull, giving Shankar the upper hand.

Before the IPL, Hardik Pandya received a clear message from chief selector Chetan Sharma: he would not be considered for India selection until he bowled regularly. The Gujarat captain appears to be fully recovered. In the first game, he bowled four overs against the Lucknow Super Giants. Pandya took the new ball against Delhi in Pune on Saturday and dismissed Tim Seifert. An outstanding effort had resulted in figures of 1/22 from four overs. It also allowed Ferguson to bowl with the semi-new ball, which the New Zealander enjoys.
