Match preview & overview
Delhi Capitals edge Gujarat Titans by 4 runs in a 224-run thriller at Arun Jaitley
Delhi Capitals beat Gujarat Titans by 4 runs at Arun Jaitley Stadium on 24 April 2024 in one of the tightest finishes of the IPL 2024 season. Batting first, DC posted 224/4, a total well above the venue's average first-innings score of 185. Gujarat Titans gave the chase everything, reaching 220/8, but could not find the four runs they needed off the final deliveries. Rishabh Pant was named Player of the Match. Gujarat Titans had won the toss and elected to field, a decision that initially looked sound but cost them as Delhi's death-overs hitting proved decisive.
The match turned in the second half of the Delhi innings. After a difficult powerplay in which DC lost 3 wickets for 44 runs, the middle overs produced 83 runs without further loss, steadying the innings. Then the death overs exploded: 97 runs from just one wicket across overs 16 to 20 took the total to a formidable 224.
Gujarat Titans responded with intent. Their powerplay of 67/1 surpassed DC's own first six and set up what looked like a straightforward chase. Four wickets for 80 runs in the middle overs shifted the balance back toward Delhi, and though GT mustered 73 in the death, they came up four short.
