The Gujarat Titans remain unbeaten in two IPL matches after a 14-run win over the Delhi Capitals on Saturday.

Lockie Ferguson returned figures of 4-28 with his express pace in Pune to keep Delhi down to 157-9 while chasing 172 in the second match of the day.

Shubman Gill set up victory for Gujarat, one of two new teams including the Lucknow Super Giants added to the IPL, with his 46-ball 84 that guided the team to 171-6.

He lost opening partner Matthew Wade for one but built crucial partnerships, including a 65-run third-wicket stand with skipper Hardik Pandya, who made 31.

David Miller hit an unbeaten 20 off 15 balls to boost the team total, which turned out to be enough for Gujarat’s second win in as many games.

Pandya took down Tim Seifert for three with the opening ball of his spell and Ferguson soon took charge with his twin strikes in one over to rattle the Delhi top order.

Skipper Rishabh Pant and Lalit Yadav attempted to rebuild by putting together 61 runs but a run-out ended the partnership. Yadav was out for 25.

Pant made 43 off 29 balls to raise hopes of chasing down the total, but Ferguson sent back the left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman and struck again in the same over to hurt Delhi.

Fast bowler Mohammed Shami struck on successive balls before a hat-trick was averted, but the curtains came down on Delhi who hunt for their maiden title in the T20 tournament.
