GT vs PBKS scorecard

Punjab Kings finished with 243/5 in their 20 overs, riding on skipper Shreyas Iyer's unbeaten 97-run knock. Iyer took the Gujarat Titans bowlers to the cleaners during his 42-ball stay in the middle. He could have completed his century in the last over, but he selflessly allowed Shashank Singh to keep strike and smash boundaries.

Sai Kishore was the only GT bowler to finish with an economy of less than 10 runs per over. He conceded just 30 runs in four overs and bagged the wickets of Azmatullah Omarzai, Glenn Maxwell, and Marcus Stoinis.

Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill provided a fantastic start to the Gujarat Titans. Jos Buttler was not at his best, but he still managed 54 runs off 33 balls, while Sherfane Rutherford played too many dot balls against Vijaykumar Vyshak, which eventually cost GT the game.

Impact Player Vyshak was the game-changer with the ball for PBKS. He gave away only 28 runs in his three overs to turn the game in Punjab's favor.
