Ahmedabad: Brilliance of Delhi Capitals (DC) bowlers followed by cameos from Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abhishek Porel, and Shai Hope guided the side to a six-wicket victory against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday.
Coming out to chase a mere total of 90 runs, DC batters Prithvi Shaw and Jake Fraser-McGurk were able to put in just 25 runs before McGurk was sent back to the dressing room after playing a quickfire knock of 20 runs in just 10 balls which was laced with two boundaries and two sixes each.
After the opener's dismissal, Shaw was also sent back to the pavilion after scoring just seven runs.

Sai Sudarshan joined Wriddhiman Saha at the other end. Sudarshan looked in good touch, smashing a boundary through cover point and the other through extra-cover region.
However, his partnership with Saha did not last long, as his stumps were castled by Mukesh Kumar for just two runs off 10 balls.
In the next over, Sudarshan's innings also met an unfortunate end as he was run out at the non-striker end by Sumit Kumar for 12 in nine balls, with two fours.
In the same over, GT received a big jolt when a returning David Miller was caught behind by Rishabh Pant, giving Ishant his second wicket. GT was 30/4 in five overs.
