Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals Commentary

6:07 PM IST Right then, that is it from this low-scoring thriller where Delhi defended their lowest-ever total and Gujarat lost for the first time while chasing this season and only the second time in their short history. However, the action in the Indian T20 League continues as we have a double-header lined up on 3rd May, Wednesday. The first game will be between Lucknow and Chennai and that will start at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT). After that, Punjab will take on Mumbai in a huge game for both teams. The first ball will be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but as you know, you can always join us early for all the build-up for both games. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
