Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Live Score

Gujarat Titans posted 210/4 in their 20 overs, with Shubman Gill leading the charge with 70 runs at the top of the order. Jos Buttler added a quickfire 52, and Washington Sundar contributed a maiden IPL fifty (55) to push GT to a competitive total. Glenn Phillips struck a four off the last ball to take his side past 200. NDTV Sports reported the innings details.

Delhi Capitals’ reply looked in trouble early. GT were 160/2 after 14.5 overs before DC fought back through their middle order. The chase came alive when KL Rahul was ticking along at 92 off 52 balls, but GT struck at a critical moment — DC were 158/4 after 16 overs, needing 53 off the final 24 deliveries. NDTV Sports tracked the progression.

Current match status

  • GT finished 210/4 — the target was 211 for DC
  • DC finished 209/8 — one run short of victory
  • Match decided on the last ball via run-out

Ball-by-ball updates

The decisive moment came when DC needed two runs off the final two balls. David Miller, who had scored 41* at the death, refused a single on the penultimate delivery. Prasidh Krishna held his nerve, deceiving Miller with a slower short ball. The resulting dot ball left DC needing two runs off one ball. Kuldeep Yadav set off for a tight second run, but Jos Buttler’s direct-hit from short cover sent him back. NDTV Sports documented the dramatic finish.

Bottom line: Buttler’s throw on the last ball left Kuldeep Yadav short of his ground, confirming GT’s one-run win and giving GT their first two points of IPL 2026.

Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Scorecard

Four players reached forty or above in a high-scoring encounter, but the individual performances told only half the story — the bowling figures and fielding effort proved equally decisive.

Batting scorecard

Batsman Runs Balls Team
KL Rahul 92 52 Delhi Capitals

Bowling scorecard

Bowler Overs Runs Wickets Team
Rashid Khan — 17 3 Gujarat Titans
Mukesh Kumar — 55 2 Delhi Capitals

Rashid Khan’s 3/17 was his first three-wicket haul in the IPL since 2023, per ESPNcricinfo. His spell broke two promising partnerships and kept DC’s scoring in check during the middle overs. Mukesh Kumar’s 2/55 was expensive but included two crucial wickets.

Why this matters

Gill and Buttler built the innings, but it was Rashid’s three-wicket burst that prevented DC from accelerating earlier. His spell swung the pressure back onto the chasing side at a stage when DC were starting to find rhythm.

Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Highlights

The contest went through three distinct phases — GT’s dominant start with the bat, DC’s fightback through Rahul and Miller, and the nerve-jangling final over that decided the outcome.

Key moments

  • Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler added a crucial partnership after an early wicket, taking GT past 100 in under 10 overs
  • Washington Sundar’s maiden fifty came at a critical juncture, rebuilding after GT lost quick wickets in the 15th over
  • KL Rahul’s 92 was the backbone of DC’s chase, keeping his side in contention despite regular falls at the other end
  • Rashid Khan’s triple strike in his spell pegged DC back at a moment when they threatened to take the game away

Turning points

The innings turned on two specific moments. First, Rahul’s dismissal when DC needed 45 off the last 18 balls — his exit triggered a collapse from 191/3 to 209/8. Second, Prasidh Krishna’s final over — his slower short ball to David Miller on the penultimate delivery forced a dot, changing the arithmetic entirely. IPLT20 Official confirmed Krishna’s decisive delivery.

The catch

Miller’s 41* looked match-winning on paper, but GT forced him into two dot balls in the final over by rotating strike smarter. When Miller eventually faced the last ball, he had no partners left to run with — Buttler’s throw caught Kuldeep Yadav short of his ground.

Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans Players

The match featured a blend of established stars and emerging talents, with several players delivering performances that will shape the narrative of IPL 2026.

Top performers

Player Role Contribution
KL Rahul Batsman (DC) 92 off 52 balls — innings anchor
Shubman Gill Batsman/Captain (GT) 70 — platform setter
David Miller Batsman (DC) 41* off 20 — late burst
Jos Buttler WK-Batsman (GT) 52 + match-sealing run-out
Rashid Khan Bowler (GT) 3/17 — first three-for since 2023
Prasidh Krishna Bowler (GT) Final over, held nerve

The pattern emerging across both lineups showed GT relying on their top three to set the foundation while DC depended on Rahul to anchor the chase. Buttler’s dual impact with bat and field placed him at the centre of every decisive moment. Barcelona vs Inter Milan head-to-head provides context on how high-pressure finishes play out in other top-tier contests.

The upshot

Match timeline

  • GT reached 63/1 after 5 overs with Gill and Buttler building an early platform
  • GT accelerated to 152/2 after 14 overs, 160/2 at 14.5, before some late-order pyrotechnics pushed them to 210
  • DC were 158/4 after 16 overs, needing 53 off the final 24 balls — Rahul was still at the crease
  • Rahul fell with 45 runs still needed from 18 balls — the chase unravelled from that point

Bottom line: GT’s one-run win was built across the full 20 overs — from Gill’s 70 at the top to Buttler’s match-sealing throw on the last ball. The margin was thin, but the execution was deliberate.
