After incurring a crushing loss against LSG in their first match of the new campaign, Delhi Capitals were in front of the defending champions Gujarat Titans. Titans on the other hand were coming off a victory over Chennai Super Kings. Batting first, Delhi's opening pair yet again could not get it going as Prithvi Shaw fell cheaply after adding just 7 runs. Mitchell Marsh, who endured a first-ball duck in the first match, got bowled out again this time after making 4 runs. DC were resting on the shoulders of their captain David Warner yet again and he took the anchor's role. He was supported by Sarfaraz Khan. However, the partnership could not stick for long. In the end, DC got valuable runs from Axar Patel. Patel scored 36 off 22. After 20 over DC put on 162 on the board.

In reply, GT got off to a shaky start but always kept the required run rate in control. Sai Sudarshan's 62 off 48 and David Miller's fiery 31 off just 16 balls took them home with 12 balls and 6 wickets to spare. With the win GT are 2 out of 2 in IPL 2023. As for DC, they are in troubled waters with 2 losses.
