Gujarat Titans edge Delhi by 1 run as Miller's refusal of single proves decisive
David Miller stayed calm in a tense finish but made a key call on the penultimate ball, refusing a single that could have levelled the scores for Delhi Capitals.
With two needed from the final ball, Miller opted to keep strike and go for the win himself. The decision kept him on strike but increased the pressure on the last delivery. Earlier in the over, he had already struck a six to keep Gujarat in control.
Run-out seals dramatic finish
The move backfired when a run-out ended the chase. Delhi finished on 209/8, falling short of Gujarat Titans' 210/4 by just one run.
The final over, bowled by Prasidh Krishna, had already seen key moments, including a wicket and tight fielding. The refusal of the single on the second-last ball proved to be the turning point, leaving Delhi needing a boundary off the last delivery, which they could not get.
It was a close finish, but Miller's decision became the defining moment of the match.
