Indian Premier League 2022, GT vs DC: Shubman Gill, Lockie Ferguson Star As Gujarat Titans beat Delhi Capitals

New Zealand fast pitcher Lockie Ferguson scored four goals in 28 runs in a stunning display of speed and accuracy following Shubman Gill’s mighty 84 to help the Gujarat Titans beat the Capitals Delhi 14 times and registered a second straight win in their first IPL season on Saturday. Ferguson, who was bought for a whopping Rs 10 crore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, removed dangerous opener Prithvi Shaw (10), Mandeep Singh (18), captain Rishabh Pant (43 of 29 balls) and Axar Patel (8) ) to stir up DC’s 172 chase.

Veteran pacing Mohammed Shami (2/30) beat DC with two late goals, who finished 157 to nine, their first defeat in the tournament.

Titans captain Hardik Pandya got his first hit as he eliminated DC opener Tim Seifert (3) while Rashid Khan (1/30) also chipped his scalp with Shardul Thakur.

It wasn’t the best start for DC as they lost to Seifert to open the scoring in the second half. Ferguson then rocked DC’s innings with two fifth-round hits – Shaw and Mandeep – as the Titans found themselves on the upswing.

But DC captains Pant and Lalit Yadav (25), who played a key role in DC’s win in their previous game, revived the chase with a result of 61 standings out of 6.5 pass for the fourth match.

Lalit ended impressively in season 12. Abhinav Manohar made a throw-in at the end of the throw, a free kick that was released early because Vijay Shankar’s foot came into contact with a tree. Shankar removed the remaining bail when Lalit plunged to the bottom.

Pant discussed with the referee, but Lalit had to trudge.

When Pant was eliminated after an aggressive round, it became increasingly difficult for DC to chase the target. They need 46 runs from the last five rounds and have only four championships left.

Thakur was eliminated in the 16th round and then Shami eliminated Rovman Powell (20) and Khaleel Ahmed (0) in a two-wicket match in the 18th round that nearly ended DC’s hopes.

Before that, Gill hit 84 balls with just 46 balls – his highest T20 score – to power the Titans to 171 for 6 after being asked to hit the ball.

Gill, who hit six boundaries and four six points in his superb innings, and captain Pandya (31) revived the Titans’ innings with a 65-time partnership for the third player. after they cheaply lost to Matthew Wade (1) and Shankar (13).

Wade was knocked out in the third half of the game against Mustafizur Rahman (3/23) while Kuldeep Yadav (1/32) saved Shankar, who made a slogan sweep only to see his stumps. he was wheeled.

Gill had been in serious form in the previous game when he made amends for his cheap dismissal – not running – in the previous game.

He pulled Axar Patel for six early and then smashed the same bowler for another maximum in round 16.

His best shot was a six straight into Kuldeep’s net 15 minutes into the match. He ended up coming off the bench in the 18th half against Ahmed (2/34) with Patel taking it easy from deep mid-range.

Gill and Hardik negated any success of the DC bowlers in 7.5 rounds, while adding 65 runs in that crucial period after Titans 44 for two in the seventh installment ended. Hardik took time to settle down but just as he was getting into his grooves he darted out, hitting Powell in a long ago Ahmed’s bowling match. The Titans captain hit four boundaries on his 27 batting hits.
