Gujarat Titans (GT) were bundled for 89 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, with Mukesh Kumar chipping in with a three-wicket haul as a part of the collective bowling effort that the Delhi Capitals (DC) presented.

Ishant Sharma and Tristan Stubbs picked a couple of scalps each as Kuldeep Yadav delivered an economical four-over spell, conceding only 16 runs. Rashid Khan top-scored for the Titans with 31 runs as most of their batting order succumbed without delivering formidable returns.

DC had arguably won the game in the powerplay itself, reducing GT to 30/4 within the first six overs. Here’s a look at the five worst powerplay performances by teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.

This prospective win will come as a much needed sigh of relief for DC, who have won only twice in six matches so far. DC have struggled with their batting unit misfiring so far. However, the likes of Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tristan Stubbs have infused significant positvity ever since they were roped into the playing XI.

Meanwhile, GT began the tournament strongly but have lost their footing lately. Their seasoned stars like Shubman Gill and David Miller need to begin delivering the required performances, given that their progress this season has already been stunted by the absences of Hardik Pandya and Mohammed Shami.
