Talking about the entire action of the match, skipper David Warner, middle-order batter Sarfaraz Khan, and all-rounder Axar Patel played the knocks of 37, 30, and 36 runs respectively. On these knocks, Delhi somehow managed to score 162 runs for the loss of eight wickets in the first 20 overs of the match.

Senior pacer Mohammed Shami and star bowling Rashid Khan scalped three wickets each for Gujarat.

Later on, while chasing the target, Gujarat’s batting lineup crumbled a bit in the starting as they lost their three wickets only on the score of 54 runs in 6 overs. But later on, it was the number three batter Sai Sudarshan who took the charge of the team and played a match-winning knock of 62 runs off 48 balls with four boundaries and two sixes in favor of Gujarat. He also stitched two crucial partnerships with Vijay Shankar and senior southpaw David Miller.

Eventually, the defending champions won the match by six wickets handing Delhi their second consecutive defeat in the Indian T20 League 2023.
