Gujarat Titans on Wednesday pulled off a spectacular one-run victory over Delhi Capitals in a thrilling encounter at the Feroz Shah Kotla Ground, marking their first win of the season in IPL 2026. The last-ball finish was a heart-stopping moment for fans, with David Miller missing out on a chance to level the scores, which ultimately saw Delhi falter and fall short.

Rashid Khan, the Player of the Match, celebrates with his teammates after taking three crucial wickets and conceding just 17 runs.

The stage was set for a high-scoring contest, with both teams needing a win to boost their morale after faltering performances in the initial matches. Delhi Capitals, led by Axar Patel, opted to field, while Gujarat Titans’ skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bat first.

The Chargers got off to a solid start, with KL Rahul and Shubman Gill forming a formidable partnership, which laid the foundation for their total. Rahul’s impressive 92 off 52 balls was a testament to his skill and determination, but he missed out on a century when Mohammed Siraj dismissed him in the 17th over.

The South African left-hander Kagiso Rabada proved to be the game-changer, as he conceded just nine runs in the 18th over, setting up a heroic late show by David Miller.

In a thrilling finish, Miller refused to take a single off the penultimate delivery of the match, which ultimately cost Gujarat the match. The southpaw was left stranded as Kuldeep Yadav hit the stumps at the striker’s end, leaving the Gujarat Titans players in a state of shock.

The match-winning performance from Rashid Khan, who bagged three crucial wickets and conceded just 17 runs, turned the tide of the game in favor of the Titans.

Rashid’s impressive spell proved to be the turning point, as he chipped in with the wickets of Nitish Rana and Sameer Rizvi for nought in one over, before wrapping up his spell with the wicket of Axar Patel.

Buttler’s blitz, which included five sixes and three fours in his 27-ball knock, was a highlight of the Gujarat Titans’ innings. The English batter’s impressive display of power-hitting set the stage for a thrilling finish.

Shubman Gill’s 70 runs, which included a 104-run partnership with Washington Sundar, laid the foundation for Gujarat’s total.

Washington Sundar’s maiden IPL fifty added to the momentum, as the Titans amassed a total of 210 runs for the loss of four wickets.

The Capitals, led by KL Rahul, fought back hard to chase down the total, but ultimately fell short by one run.

The final score sees the Gujarat Titans move up to sixth spot in the IPL 2026 standings, with one win from three games, while the Delhi Capitals slip to fourth spot, having won two out of their three matches.

The thrilling finish in IPL 2026 Match 14 has set the stage for a highly anticipated and closely contested tournament.
