Gujarat Titans suffered another defeat against Delhi Capitals last night (Wednesday, April 24) in IPL 2024. Playing the reverse fixture at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, GT failed to chase down a 225-run target and lost the game by four runs.

It was a high-scoring thriller in Delhi, with over 440 runs being scored in 40 overs. Here's a glance at the scorecard, award winners, and top records broken during this DC vs GT iPL 2024 match.

DC vs GT scorecard
Delhi Capitals lost three wickets in the powerplay against Sandeep Warrier. After that, though, Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel built a 113-run fourth-wicket stand to bring DC back into the game. Tristan Stubbs then came in and played a fantastic cameo of 26 from seven balls, which ultimately proved to be the difference between the two sides.
For Gujarat Titans, Warrier was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/15 in three overs. Death overs specialist Mohit Sharma had a horrendous outing as he bowled the most expensive IPL spell, returning with figures of 0/73 in four overs.
In response, Gujarat lost Shubman Gill's wicket early, but half-centuries from Sai Sudharsan and David Miller kept them in the hunt. Eventually, GT lost too many wickets. Rashid Khan could have pulled off another thrilling chase if he had a proper batter on the opposite side in the final over. But he could only take GT to 220/8.
