The pitch number four is going to be used for today's match and it is 100 per cent black soil pitch. The temperature is 41 degrees Celsius and dew might play a big role in the match. The square boundaries are 61 metres and 72 metres whereas the straight boundary is at 75 metres. The pitch doesn't have a lot of grass on it and appears good to bat on. Spinners might not get any assistance from the surface.

DC - 65/3 (5)

Sumit Kumar finished the game with a boundary. Delhi Capitals defeated Gujarat Titans by six wickets at their home venue. Noor Ahmad came to bowl the ninth over and Sumit hit two boundaries in his over to seal the match for Delhi Capitals.

DC - 92/4 (8.5)

Our batting was very average, and it is important to move on and come back strong. The wicket was alright, if you see some of the dismissals, it had nothing to do with the pitch. Poor shot selection I would say. When the opposition are chasing 89, unless someone takes a double hat-trick, the opposition will always be in the game. This is just the halfway mark of the season for us, we have won 3 and hopefully we win another 5-6 from the next 7 like in the last couple of years.

Lots of things to be pleased about. We talked about the champion thought process and our team showed today that we can play like that and really happy to see that. [on the bowling] Definitely one of the best, it's early on in the tournament, can't say much as we can improve individually. The only thought process before coming on to the field was coming in a better way, that's the only thought when I was going through my rehab. The only conversation we had before the chase was - let's get it as early as possible, we lost a few run-rate points earlier and we covered it up. We just love being in Ahmedabad, we love the stadium, the vibe here and looking forward to play more matches here. We just want to enjoy our win, one at a time and move forward learning from it.

This game ended very early thanks to the Delhi Capitals' accurate bowling and quickfire chase. We will also be taking your leave now. That's all from our side. Goodnight!
