The standout shot of Nissanka's innings was perhaps a serene straight drive against Mohammed Siraj in the very first over. The drive signalled the underrated Sri Lanka batter's intent early, and he went on to club Ashok Sharma for three fours and six off successive balls in the sixth over.
Earlier, GT rode fifties from opener Jos Buttler, captain Shubman Gill and all-rounder Washington Sundar to post a 210-run total in Delhi.
Capitals' skipper Axar Patel had won the toss and elected to bowl first, stating that his team had chased well and wanted to continue in the same vein. DC went in with the same playing XI as their previous game against Mumbai Indians, which the Delhi-based franchise had won by six wickets.
Patel's opposite number Shubman Gill, meanwhile returned to the Titans' side after missing their last match with a muscle spasm in his neck. Gill replaced Kumar Kushagra in GT's only change.
