IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Highlights: Punjab Kings made a strong start after winning the toss and opting to bat, thanks to captain Sam Curran and Prabhsimran Singh, who established a 52-run opening partnership. However, their momentum quickly faltered as Gujarat Titans’ spinners tightened the grip on their scoring. Afghan bowlers Noor Ahmad and Rashid Khan broke through after the powerplay, then Sai Kishore took control. The Indian spinner’s figures of 4/33 contributed significantly to Punjab’s collapse, ending with an all-out total of 142 in 20 overs.
The Titans’ chase was more challenging than expected. With 42 runs required from the final 30 balls, Gujarat eventually secured the win in 19.1 overs, thanks to Rahul Tewatia’s pressure-relieving cameo of 36 not out from 16 balls. This victory marked Gujarat Titans’ fourth win in eight games, while Punjab Kings recorded their sixth loss in eight matches. Shubman Gill (35 off 29) made valuable runs at the top of the order before being caught by a mistimed shot off Livingstone. Sai Sudharsan (31 off 33) also struggled with his timing, and David Miller was dismissed as Livingstone’s second victim. Though Punjab Kings applied pressure in the middle overs, Tewatia’s explosive six-boundary streak helped the Titans clinch the game.
