One of Gujarat Titans’ hallmarks over the last two seasons has been its ability to successfully play the long game. On Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium, this facet shone again as GT beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets.
Chasing 163, the host accumulated runs in meticulous fashion. Wriddhiman Saha was his usual brisk self (25, 13b, 1x4, 2x6) while Shubman Gill played the steadier hand (36, 28b, 2x4, 1x6).
It was not until the 16th over that GT made the play, and when it did, it landed the killer blow. With 49 needed from 30 balls, Pat Cummins gambled with Mayank Markande only for David Miller (44 n.o., 27b, 4x4, 2x6) and B. Sai Sudharsan (45, 36b, 4x4, 1x6) to smash the leggie for two fours and two sixes.
