Delhi Capitals won their third match of the season as they defeated Gujarat Titans by 5 runs in Tuesday night's IPL 2023 match.
Delhi gave a target of 131 runs to Gujarat which they couldn’t chase despite their skipper Hardik Pandya’s efforts till the end. Ishant Sharma managed to take 2 wickets and defend 12 runs in the last over, helping Delhi win this exciting encounter.
