Gujarat Titans
171/6 (20.0)Delhi Capitals
157/9 (20.0)Gujarat Titans beat Delhi Capitals by 14 runs
Lalit Yadav refused to budge. Apparently, his interpretation of the Law was different to the MCC manual. It was a run-out at the bowler’s end and Yadav was short of his crease. But Vijay Shankar had stepped on the stumps and dislodged one of the bails. After collecting the throw from Abhinav Manohar, the bowler whipped the other bail off, with Yadav still about a foot short. Third umpire Bruce Oxenford rightly adjudged the non-striker run-out, but Yadav stood his ground. Without the stumps being taken out, he wasn’t convinced about his dismissal. The stumps had to be dismantled if both the bails were dislodged. What Shankar did was perfectly legal. However, it took some convincing and a word from his captain Rishabh Pant before Yadav reluctantly trudged off.

Rishabh Pant didn't mind being at the receiving end of some banter from his team-mates. After all, he was uncertain, while the bowler, Mustafizur Rahman, was dead certain.
Matthew Wade found a novel way to get out, caught behind. He moved across and looked to lap a Rahman delivery over the wicketkeeper's head. Rahman was pretty sanguine about the inside edge, albeit a thin one. Pant, who took the catch, wasn't so sure; a bit reluctant in fact to go upstairs after the on-field umpire negated the appeal. Rahman implored his skipper to go for a review and DRS confirmed the inside edge. A few light-hearted banters followed. Pant, one of the lads rather than a bossy leader, broke into a sheepish smile.
Shamik Chakrabarty
What a shot by Gill. He drives the ball and gets a boundary against Khaleel Ahmed. He scoops the other one and fetches a boundary. Gill is in a hurry now. GT 106/2 after 13.3 overs.
What is Mathew Wade's most famous shot? The half-squat, tumbling on the off-side, flip over the fine-leg to a left-arm pacer. Shaheen Afridi - along with Pakistan, and even Indian, fans - will never forget this bit of Wade trivia. In the World T20 semi-final, Pakistan, after finally beating India in an ICC event, seemed all set to play the final. Wade would spoil the dream, he hit Afridi for three sixes in the final over to take Australia to the final that they would go on to win. The Aussie wicket-keeper, a villian in Pakistan, would feature in millions of hilarious memes getting beeped on Indian whatsapp groups. Of those three sixes, two went flying over fine-leg, Wade's pre-meditating gamble paying off both times. In cricket, however, there are no guarantees. The plan that works on the final ball of a WorldT20 game might fall flat in IPL. Wade, opening for Gujarat Titans, faced Bangladesh left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman first up. In T20 you don't wait to bring out your best weapon. On the first ball of the innings, Wade walked outside off, waited for the ball, almost went down on one knee and tried to help the ball along to clear the boundary. Not today, Mustafizur was smart, his delivery was slower and shorter. It took Wade's edge and reached Pant's hands. Last action hero out first ball.
Sandeep Dwivedi
That's a good punch from Hardik. He leans on his backfoot and punches through covers, gets a boundary. Gujarat are going strong now. GT 75/2 after 11 overs
That's a good hit by Hardik. He pulls it over mid-wicket and gets a boundary against Khaleel Ahmed. GT 63/2 after 9.2 overs
Kuldeep strikes with his first ball, cleans up Shankar, who departs for a 20-ball 13. Delhi Capitals get their second wicket. Captain Hardik Pandya comes to the crease in Shankar's place and he slams a boundary in his first over at crease. GT are 51/2 after 7 overs
Axar Patel to Gill, SIX runs Into the crowd. That was the first maximum of the match and what a glorious shot! GT are 38/1 after 5 overs
Shubman Gill and Vijay Shankar in cautious stand for Gujarat Titans. Gill gets another boundary and GT are 28/1 after 4 overs
Shubman Gill hits Shardul Thakur for a 4 in the second over. GT are 14/1 after 2 overs
Wade and Shubman Gill open for Gujarat Titans. Mustafizur opens the attack in style, claims wicket in the first over the match. Mustafizur strikes in the third ball of the game, removes opener Matthew Wade. A brilliant review by Rishabh Pant for caught behind, and Matthew Wade is out for 1. Vijay Shankur replaces Wade at the crease. GT are 7/1 after 1 over
Hardik Pandya: "To be honest we were going to bat. There is a breeze, so we don't expect dew. We trained here and we didn't see much of dew, which is the reason why we wanted to bat. Same team."
