Jos Buttler (52) and Washington Sundar (55) complemented with fiery half-centuries, turning a shaky start into a power-packed total on Wednesday.

DC skipper Axar Patel called correctly at the toss and chose to field, but GT openers Sai Sudharsan and Gill laid a platform before Sudharsan edged one for 12 off 19 runs. Buttler joined Gill for a 60-run blitz in 32 balls, his 27-ball 52 laced with aggressive strokeplay including five maximums.

Post Buttler, Gill and Sundar took charge, adding 104 in 60 balls. Gill’s knock ended on 70 (45 balls, 5×6, 4×4), while Sundar (32 balls, 6×4, 2×6) ensured momentum. Mukesh Kumar claimed two scalps for DC, with Ngidi and Kuldeep picking one each.

GT rung one change with Gill’s return sidelining Kushagra; DC unchanged after back-to-back six-wicket wins over LSG and MI. GT aims to bounce back from PBKS defeat.
