Delhi Capitals registered its first win of the Indian Premier League after handing Chennai Super Kings a 20-run loss at the ACA-VDCA in Visakhapatnam on Sunday.
With this win, DC jumped to seventh from 10th while CSK slipped to second position in the points table.
Earlier in the evening, Gujarat Titans jumped to fourth in the points table after bettering Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The Titans chased down a 163-run target setup by Sunrisers with ease, getting over the line with seven wickets to spare.
Experienced pacer Mohit Sharma set up the win with an impressive spell of 3/25, where he used his array of slower balls to great effect.
Titans’ batters set up a unified front in the chase, with openers Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill laying the platform with a quickfire stand. David Miller and Sai Sudharsan steadied the ship after the opening duo fell, with the former marshalling his side to the win with an unbeaten 44.
Kolkata Knight Riders move to first after Sunday’s results.
