NEW DEHLI
\nGujarat Titans survived a ferocious late assault from David Miller to clinch a nerve-shredding one-run win over Delhi Capitals in an Indian Premier League (IPL) thriller on Wednesday.
\nAsked to bat, Gujarat stacked up 210-4 and appeared \u200cto have the game in the bag after Delhi\u2019s chase wobbled when KL Rahul departed after a 52-ball 92.
\nMiller, who had earlier retired hurt with a hand injury, returned to transform a canter into a cliff-hanger before Delhi finished on 209-8, agonisingly short.
\nThe decisive moment came in the final over. With two needed off the last two balls, Miller refused a single on the fifth delivery, sending back Kuldeep Yadav in search of the winning boundary.
\nMiller then failed to connect with the final ball, and though the pair set off, wicketkeeper Jos Buttler nailed a direct hit to run out a diving Kuldeep.
\nMiller remained unbeaten on 41 off 20 as Delhi slumped to their first defeat this season.
\nEarlier, Gujarat built their total on a trio of half-centuries.
\nCaptain Shubman Gill, back after a neck sprain, set the tempo with a poised 70. Buttler\u2019s 52 and Washington Sundar\u2019s 55 powered a breezy middle \u200cphase after the early loss of Sai Sudharsan.
\nLungi Ngidi dragged Delhi back with a disciplined spell at the death, restricting Gujarat to just 58 from the final six overs.
\nDelhi\u2019s pursuit roared to life through Rahul and Pathum Nissanka (41), who blasted 76 for the first wicket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
