Capitals win thriller over Titans with Pant and Axar starring

In a memorable finish to the 2024 IPL, Rashid Khan almost took Gujarat Titans (GT) home in a chase of 225 against Delhi Capitals (DC). But Mukesh Kumar held his nerve to take 19 off the last over as DC held on for a thrilling four-run victory.

For Rashid to have any chance of chasing down the big target, GT had to thank B Sai Sudharsan (65 off 39 balls) and David Miller (55 off 23). They kept GT within touching distance of the rising total and for a brief moment at the end, it felt as if they had timed their chase perfectly. But it wasn't to be and GT went down to DC for the second time in seven days.

DC had to climb out of a hole themselves. They were 224 for 4 after being asked to bat first. Sandeep Warrier's 3 for 15 in the powerplay had left them struggling at 44 for 3, but Rishabh Pant's masterful 43-ball 88 and Axar Patel's 66 off 43 from No 3 revived their innings. Axar went on to take three catches and a wicket and also supported Kuldeep Yadav (2 for 29) with the ball to ensure that DC did just enough on the night.
