IPL 2023, PBKS vs GT Live Score: Match Summary

 

Shubman Gill played the sheet anchor as the Gujarat Titans managed to chase down 154 with six wickets in hand and a ball to spare. He scored brilliant 67 off just 49 balls, before getting out in the last over trying to go for glory. Rahul Tewatia provided the finishing touch as always for the Titans, hitting a boundary through a paddle scoop to Sam Curran when 4 were needed off 2 to win. 

 

Sam Curran was brilliant in the last over as he had six runs to defend and had managed to get it down to the last two balls as he bowled Gill and kept David Miller quiet. 

 

Earlier in the evening, Punjab Kings' batter just couldn't get going even after spending a lot of time and balls at the crease. Thanks to Matthew Short's 36 off 24 and Shahrukh Khan's 9-ball 22, they managed to cross the 150 mark in their 20 overs. Mohit Sharma, who made his debut for Titans showed all his variations learned over the years in this league as he finished with figures of 1/18 in his four overs.

IPL 2023, PBKS vs GT Live Score: Iceman does it again, Tewatia wins it for Gujarat

 

Rahul Tewatia the iceman is here and six runs are needed off four balls. 

 

And Sam Curran has stopped in his run-up again. Remember he is leading the team in absence of Shikhar Dhawan on the ground. 

 

Brilliant yorker from Sam Curran. He is getting his Rs 18 crore utilised in a great fashion. Miller did not want to go for the single but eventually he had to. Keeper threw at the wrong end as well. 

 

The Iceman has done it again. 4 required off two, the crowd all tensed and he, expecting a length slower ball, went towards the off side and played a scoop past the short fine leg for a four and won it for his team yet again with a ball to spare. 

 

Gujarat Titans Live Score 154/4 in 19.5 overs

And Rishi Dhawan has been run-out on the last ball of the over by Wriddhiman Saha who has been brilliant behind the stumps as always. Even after a six off the second ball, only 11 runs came from the final over and in the end Punbjab Kings finish at 153/8 in 20 overs.
