The visiting team's captain David Warner chose to bat first after winning the toss. The team representing the national capital had a forgettable batting performance, nevertheless. Warner, the captain, continued to struggle with his poor strike rate as he could only muster 21 runs in 20 balls. The only significant players in their innings were Manish Pandey (34 off 27 balls), Axar Patel (34 runs off a ball), and Mitchell Marsh (25 off 15 balls), as they finished on 144/9 in their 20 overs.

With a three-wicket haul, Washington Sundar continued to be the go-to bowler for the home team. While veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar returned with two wickets and just 11 runs allowed in his four overs, he let up 28 runs in his four overs. T Natarajan also picked up a wicket. However, SRH's fielding remained the highlight, with three run-outs in the first innings.

In their 20 overs of allotted response, Sunrisers Hyderabad could only muster 137 runs while losing six wickets. Their innings continued to include consistent wickets. Their leading scorer was Mayank Agarwal, who scored 49 runs off of 39, followed by Heinrich Klaasen, who scored 31 runs off of 19. Washington Sundar's last-ditch effort, which saw him score 24 points on just 15 attempts, was ineffective as DC prevailed by 7 runs. Anrich Nortje and Axar Patel returned with two wickets for the visitors, while Ishant Sharma and Kuldeep Yadav had one each.

The Gujarat Titans will thereafter play host to the Mumbai Indians in the sixteenth season of the Indian Premier League in Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium. While GT recently defeated LSG by defending a 135-point score, MI just suffered a defeat at the hands of PBKS in a dissimilar high-scoring match.
