DC vs GT, IPL 2023 Highlights: Sai Sudharsan leads clinical Gujarat Titans to six-wicket win over Delhi Capitals

Yet another clinical chase from the Gujarat Titans. Unlike the last time around, the Titans had their backs to the wall between the sixth and 10th overs but Sai Sudharsan saw them through, first steadying things with Vijay Shankar, and then speeding it up with David Miller. He put up 53 off 44 with Shankar for the fourth wicket, then an unbeaten 56-run stand off 29 balls with Miller.

Nortje angles it in, Sudharsan smashes it over fine leg. Well over in fact, into the stands. This is just champagne batting from these two now.

Ramped by Sudharsan over the wicketkeeper and that takes him to a truly excellent half century. What an innigs he has played, Sudharsan had also played a fantastic knock in GT's last match as well.

Miller may have won this one for GT in this over. 20 runs off it.

GT needed 46 to win from 30 at the start of this over. Mukesh sends the fourth ball of the 16th right in Miller's arc and smashes it over deep mid. Then Mukesh bowls too wide outside off and then the fifth is sends it over mid-on.

Drama off the first ball! Miller reviews as soon as the umpire raises his finger. Flighted and lands around middle, Miller has missed it entirely and he surely knows it and so he is hoping that this is missing and guess what; ball tracking shows that the ball would have missed the stumps. Decision reversed, Miller survives to fight another ball.

Kuldeep Yadav bowling the 15th over, David Miller on strike. This over could really decide which way the game goes, folks, Fasten your seat belts.

Big appeal there for LBW and the umpire turns it down. Warner takes the review. Flat line as the ball passes the bat which means Vijay Shankar is in trouble. The ball tracking only confirms it. Strange shot there from Vijay Shankar, a half-hearted sweep, didn't really get down low and is struck on the pads.

Shankar lbw b Marsh 29 (23), GT 107/4 in 13.2 overs, need 56 runs to win in 40 balls

What a stand this has been, it has calmly got Gujarat Titans back on top. There are still David Miller, Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan to come for GT. They need 57 to win off 42 balls.

First ball of the 12th, Khaleel comes back for it. He goes short and outside off and Shankar nails the pull shot.

Kuldeep goes too full for the second ball of the 10th, Shankar smashes it right over the bowler's head to the boundary. This partnership has reached 25 in 21 balls. Great rebuilding job here. 

Wow the bowler and the keeper looked quite confident, there was a sound as the ball crossed bat and yet, ultraedge shows a flat line. Sudarshan tries to cut, the ball is collected by Porel and it seems like a fantastic catch. Umpire shakes his head and Warner immediately takes the review. DC have decided that they got their man but then the replays say another story. 

GT are 62/3 in 7 overs. Sudharsan on 21 off 17, Shankar on 5 off 3.

It seems GT have decided they need some stability now and that is exactly what Vijay Shankar provides. Their run rate is fine and they need to conserve wickets. Mitchell Marsh comes in to bowl the seventh.

Pandya c Abishek Porel b Ahmed 5 (4), GT 54/3 in 6 overs

Khaleel lands it on a length and gets it to jag in, Pandya plays at it, nicks it and Abishek Porel makes no mistake with that catch.

Khaleel Ahmed's first bal of the sixth, Sudharshan gets forward and flicks it past midwicket. GT cross 50. 

Nortje had overstepped and it was a free hit for the second ball of the fifth. The South African comes in fast and furious at 144kph, full to Sudharsan, the Indian anticipates it and actually scoops it over fine leg and all the way past the boundary.

Oh the stumps and bails are flying everywhere behind a bent over Shubman Gill, Anrich Nortje has got the man in form. Oh, apologies for the mistake, Nortje IS the man in form. 

Gill b Nortje 14 (13), GT 36/2 in 4.1 overs

Short around off from Nortje, Gill stays on the back foot and whips it past midwicket. What a beauty that shot was and Nortje has overstepped.

143kph express going into Saha, it cramps him for room, the ball jags back and smashes the stumps. Nortje is away and that was his first ball of the season! Talk about making an impact.

Saha b Nortje 14 (7), GT 22/1 in 2.1 overs

Khaleel with the first over and Saha has taken all of the runs from it. Back to back fours off the third and fourth balls and the last ball is tonked over the bowler's head for six. What a start to the chase. Saha, as usual, delivers. Strange that he has never been in the conversation for India's T20 opening slot and remember, he hasn't retired yet. 

“It's been raining here in Delhi, so the outfield has changed. There was grass and there was some movement as well. There is uneven bounce, some balls bounced and some kept a bit low, there was swing as well at the start. If we take early wickets, we can win this. This is a good score on this surface. The outfield is slow. There is some dew now. We need to play good cricket to win this.”

Anrich Nortje swatts the last one straight down the ground for four. DC have managed to breach the 160-run mark and what a brilliant fightback this was from them in the last four overs. The top guns like Warner, Shaw, Marsh and Sarfaraz couldn't fire and so it was the likes of Porel and Axar and a smattering of others who stepped up. That is a positive for Delhi, the fact that others delivered when their big guns couldn't. The question, though, is that will hte big guns ever deliver?  

Axar hits it straight to deep cover. David Miller is a good fielder and never drops those. Fantastic cameo from Axar here, might just have given DC a chance.

Shami comes in for the last over, short and wide and Axar smashes it over long-on. He to 34 off 19.
