Another win for Hardik and GT

Eventually, DC finished with 157, falling short by 14 runs. DC fired in fits and starts with Pant top-scoring (43). However, unlike GT's Gill, none of them could convert starts into big scores.

Ferguson took a four-for while Shami hammered the final screw in the game with two wickets in his last over. Great start for Hardik and co.

GT one wicket away...

It is getting from bad to worse. Thakur tried to slog Rashid but was trapped in front. A curious shot, considering that was the last ball of Rashid's quota of four overs for the day.

Shami then tricked R Powell with the cutter while Khaleel was done in by hard length. DC are nine down and in trouble.

seem to find the right key to unlock the door, there is to shut the door. That is how it feels.

and 'spot bowling'. Nice to see all the hard work is helping him to succeed. For me, Kuldeep at his best is still India's X-factor in limited overs. The left-arm angle is a plus point.

Classy Gill

Shubman Gill has just shown a touch of class by cracking a slog-sweep against Axar Patel. Now that isn't an easy shot to play versus Axar as he bowls it flat rough the air, mixed with a bit of scrambled seam.

Welcome back to the IPL, Mustafizur!

He sends Matthew Wade packing in the first over. It's taken a review to bring about the early wicket but it is there. Wade looked to shuffle across and play the scoop but nicked it to Pant behind. Snicko gave enough evidence for the umpire to rule in the fielding side's favour.

Toss and Teams

Delhi Capitals have won the crucial toss and opted to field. Mustafizur has replaced Nagarkoti.

Gujarat Titans (Playing XI): Shubman Gill, Matthew Wade(w), Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya(c), David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Abhinav Manohar Sadarangani, Rashid Khan, Lockie Ferguson, Varun Aaron, Mohammed Shami

Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Prithvi Shaw, Tim Seifert, Mandeep Singh, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman

Pitch report by Deep Dasgupta: Fresh pitch, it's on the corner of the square which means it is big on one side. Looks almost same as the one used in the last game. Lot of grass, firm. good cary and bounce. As a bowler if you want to survive you have to bowl the hard length. Enough pace, carry and movement for the bowler. Dew factor isn't that great here, which is why this is only venue where a team batting first has won the game. WIll be interesting to see what the captain winning the toss will do.

Prelude:

In Gujarat Titans' opening game against fellow new entrants Lucknow Super Giants, Mohammed Shami bowled with exemplary control and extracted nifty seam movement to pick up a three-for while Rahul Tewatia's pyrotechnics helped the side to chase down the target and chart a famous win.

Tonight, GT will be up against Delhi Capitals. DC too began the tournament on a winning note versus Mumbai Indians. And that too despite missing out on a few key players. DC still possess an explosive batting unit, with the likes of Prithvi Shaw, Rovman Powell, Rishabh Pant and co. in the side. Even though they would hope for a better show from their pacemen.

The one good point for both the sides is that the humidity is on the lesser side (relative terms) in Pune at 41 per cent. So there could be less dew.
