DC vs GT IPL 2024 Match Live Score: Delhi Capitals had a horrendous start after Gujarat Titans won the toss and invited them to bat first. Picture this, DC were 44/3 inside the powerplay with loss of wickets of Jake Fraser-McGurk, Prithvi Shaw and Shai Hope, who was picked up in place of David Warner. Sandeep Warrier, who made his IPL debut for GT recently, ripped through DC’s batting and picked up all three wickets. Fraser-McGurk, who has been in form, was dismissed for just 23 runs. Shaw walked back after making just 11 runs. Shai Hope couldn’t do much either as he was dismissed for just 5 runs.
Rishabh Pant’s explosive innings of 88 runs combined with a dazzling cameo from Tristan Stubbs propelled DC to a formidable total of 224 runs. In response, GT encountered early difficulties as their skipper Shubman Gill fell cheaply. The GT captain managed only 6 runs in his milestone 100th IPL match. Surprisingly, it’s Wriddhiman Saha who is spearheading the run chase alongside Sai Sudharshan.
DC vs GT: The trilling last over!
The match went down the wire and Rishabh Pant’s confidence in Mukesh Kumar paid off as Delhi Capitals defeated Gujarat Titans by four runs in match 40 of Tata IPL 2024 tonight. Sent to defend Mukesh Kumar, GT needed 19 runs in 6 balls. With Rashid Khan at strike, it looked every bit a doable task. In the last 2 balls, GT needed 11 runs. Smash! Khan slammed a maximum and it came down to the very last ball. Another six? But Kumar’s last delivery sealed the deal for DC as it wasn’t the six as GT would have intended. This 4-run win must be an emotional one for Rishabh Pant, who lost his last game at Kotla vs SRH. Real homecoming for DC skipper tonight!

Here is the live score and latest updates from DC vs GT match 40
The confidence Rishabh Pant placed in Mukesh Kumar paid dividends as the Delhi Capitals secured a four-run victory over the Gujarat Titans in match 40 of the Tata IPL 2024 tonight. GT, tasked with chasing 19 runs in the final over with Rashid Khan at the crease, seemed poised for success. However, needing 11 runs from the last two balls, Khan’s six on the penultimate delivery kept GT’s hopes alive until the final ball. Despite the tense moment, Kumar’s last delivery fell short of GT’s intentions, securing the win for DC. This emotional triumph, particularly poignant for Pant after his previous loss at Kotla against SRH, marked a true homecoming for the DC skipper.
On Wednesday, Shubman Gill, the captain of the Gujarat Titans, achieved another milestone by becoming the second-youngest player to appear in more than 100 IPL matches. Before him, at the age of 25 years and 182 days, Indian batting sensation Virat Kohli marked his 100th IPL appearance.
Rishabh Pant turns to his reliable bowler Kuldeep Yadav once more, and this time, Yadav delivers the crucial wicket that Delhi Capitals had been eagerly seeking. Wriddhiman Saha departs after scoring 39 runs.
Rishabh Pant’s blazing knock of 88 runs and scintillating cameo by Tristan Stubbs powered DC to a good total of 224 runs. In reply, GT began on a troubled note as its skipper Shubman Gill went for cheap. The GT captain made just 6 runs in his 100th IPL game. Surprisingly, its Wriddhiman Saha, who is keeping up the tempo for the run chase along with Said Sudharshan.
Noor Ahmad intervenes to disrupt the formidable partnership between Axar Patel and Rishabh Pant, which had propelled the Delhi Capitals to a respectable total, their collaboration adding over 100 runs to the scoreboard. Patel showcased impressive resilience against the spin arsenal of the Gujarat Titans. Currently, Pant finds a new partner in Stubbs as they aim to further advance the Capitals’ innings.
He walked in to bat when DC were three down at a meagre score of 44 runs! But Axar Patel delivered when it mattered today. His partnership with his captain Rishabh Pant has helped DC to turn the game around in favour of the home team. He slammed the half century off 37 balls. He slammed five boundaries and two maximums in the knock
In a challenging start for the Delhi Capitals, they found themselves in a tough spot after the Gujarat Titans won the toss and elected to field first. The Capitals’ innings got off to a rocky start, with the scoreboard reading 44/3 within the powerplay overs. The early wickets to fall included those of Jake Fraser-McGurk, Prithvi Shaw, and the replacement for David Warner, Shai Hope.
Sandeep Warrier, who recently made his IPL debut for the Gujarat Titans, played a pivotal role in DC’s downfall, claiming all three wickets. Fraser-McGurk, despite being in good form, could only manage 23 runs before departing. Shaw departed after contributing just 11 runs to the scoreboard, while Shai Hope failed to make an impact, falling for a mere 5 runs.

Rishabh Pant is the leading run-scorer for Delhi Capitals in this season of Indian Premier League. Meanwhile, David Warner has been dropped from playing XI.
Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill has won the toss and decided to bat first. He feels that the pitch will support chase.
In their four encounters so far, both teams have won two matches each. The Capitals emerged victorious in their most recent encounter this year, but the Titans had the upper hand when they clashed at the Arun Jaitley Stadium last year. As they gear up to face each other again, the question arises: will history repeat itself, with the Titans securing another win on their home turf, or can the Capitals achieve a double victory over the Titans this year?
DC opener David Warner, who holds the record of scoring most runs at Kotla, is currently battling a bad form. The IPL veteran has made just 167 runs in 7 games in IPL 17. This comes at a paltry average of 23.86. In the last seven games, he made just one half-century. This adds up to DC’s powerplay woes. Almost every team is under pressure now to have a solid powerplay start especially after what Travis Head and Abhisehk Sharma did in the last game against DC. At 125/0, they set an IPL record of highest powerplay total ever.
GT skipper Shubman Gill is set to play his 100th IPL match against Delhi Capitals tonight. In last 99 games so far, Gill has smashed 3,088 runs at an average of 38.12. He has maintained a strike rate of 38.12. During this span, Gill has scored three 100s and 20 fifties. His best score so far has been 129. At present, Gill is the 25th-highest run-scorer in the IPL’s history.
This season, GT has been promising but somewhat inconsistent. From David Miller to Shahrukh Khan to Vijay Shankar, none of the batsmen in the top and mid-order have done much in most of the matches so far. GT completely relies on captain Shubman Gill. Even opener Wriddhiman Saha has nothing to write about. He has been battling bad form this season.
