0.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Prabhsimran Singh departs on a duck once again and Mohammad Shami draws first blood on the second ball of the inning! This is bowled on a good length as well and in line with the stumps. Prabhsimran Singh clips this towards the leg side but the ball seems to have got stuck in the wicket. He is early into the shot and the ball lobs towards Rashid Khan at short mid-wicket who takes an easy catch over his head. Punjab are off to a poor start once again and they need to make sure they do not lose any more wickets in the Powerplay. 0/1

3.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Big, big wicket for Gujarat as the skipper of Punjab has to make the long walk back to the shed! Joshua Little bowls this full and into the stumps, Shikhar Dhawan looks to go aerial on the leg side but ends up chipping this into the air over wide mid on. Alzarri Joseph runs back from mid on and keeps his eye on the ball before judging the catch to perfection. Punjab lose their second wicket and the smile on Hardik Pandya's face shows how big this wicket was for Gujarat. 28/2

6.4 OUT! TIMBER! Doesn't pick the googly and pays the price! Rashid Khan just adjusts his length a bit and pulls it back. This is bowled on off stump and Matthew Short fails to read it off the hand. Short rocks back and looks to punch it through cover but reads it incorrectly off the deck as well. The ball turns in and beats the inside edge by a long way before crashing into the stumps. Short departs after a blistering start and Rashid has a wicket in his first over. 55/3

16.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and Bhanuka Rajapaksa's painful stay at the crease comes to an end. A quick delivery from Alzarri Joseph and he misses the yorker on the pads by a fair bit. The ball ends up being a full toss and Rajapaksa flicks it aerially toward deep mid-wicket. The boundary is a big one and Rajapaksa doesn't get much timing on it. The ball travels to Shubman Gill inside the ropes and he makes no mistake. Also, Shahrukh Khan walks out to bat now. 115/5

| Jitesh Sharma Wk | 25 | 23 | 5 | 0 | 108.69 |
|
12.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! This is definitely Wriddhiman Saha's wicket! A lovely delivery from Mohit Sharma and he breaks this partnership with an absolute beauty! This is bowled on a good length and really close to the off pole. Jitesh Sharma looks to play this into the off side but plays inside the line of the ball. The ball goes past the outside edge and Wriddhiman Saha collects this behind the wicket and appeals. The bowler is unmoved and so is the umpire but the wicket-keeper convinces Hardik Pandya to go upstairs just in time. UltraEdge shows a faint nick and Jitesh Sharma has to depart. Punjab lose their fourth wicket here. 92/4

| Sam Curran | 22 | 22 | 1 | 1 | 100 |

18.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Mohit Sharma gets his second wicket of the game and Punjab lose their sixth! Sharma bowls an off-cutter and bangs it halfway down the track over the stumps. Sam Curran has to wait for it but takes it on and pulls it high toward the long mid-wicket boundary. Curran gets decent power behind it but just not enough. Shubman Gill is right on the ropes there and takes a solid catch. Top performance from Sharma so far. 136/6

| Shahrukh Khan | 22 | 9 | 1 | 2 | 244.44 |

19.4 OUT! RUN OUT! They say never to run off a misfield and now we know why. Joshua Little bowls this full and outside the off pole, Shahrukh Khan backs away and hits it crisply toward wide mid off and sets off for the single. Hardik Pandya from mid off and David Miller from extra cover both go after the ball and clash a bit, ending up fumbling the ball. This prompts Shahrukh to retain strike and he goes for it. Miller though picks up the ball and fires in a quick throw at the keeper's end. Wriddhiman Saha whips off the bails and the replays confirm that Shahrukh is outside his crease. 152/7

20 OUT! RUN OUT! Wriddhiman Saha with a piece of magic from behind the stumps and Gujarat finish things off with another wicket. Joshua Little comes from over the wicket and angles in a fuller delivery at the legs. Harpreet Brar backs away and looks to flick it leg side but gets beaten on the inside edge. The batters scamper through as the ball goes to the right of the keeper. Wriddhiman Saha is quick to latch on to it and quickly throws it back onto the stumps. The replays show that Rishi Dhawan is just short of his crease and it will be a wicket. Punjab finish with 153/8 on the board! 153/8

4.4 OUT! TAKEN! Crunched but straight to the man! Kagiso Rabada bangs it in short and at a good height over middle stump. This is bowled at 145.5 clicks and hurries Wriddhiman Saha who does go after it and the sound off the bat is a sweet one. The ball flies down to deep square leg and Matthew Short takes a brilliant catch inches inside the ropes. Punjab have the breakthrough and that will be wicket number 100 for Rabada in Indian T20 League and he becomes the fastest man to achieve this feat! Saha departs after an early blitz. 48/1

19.2 OUT! TIMBER! Sam Curran has dismantled the stumps and sent the crowd into hysteria! The game is still alive here as Shubman Gill departs after playing a good knock but is unable to take his team over the finish line. Sam Curran bowls this on a good length and in line with the stumps. Shubman Gill looks to go across the line but misses and watches his off stumpss get shattered. Gujarat lose their fourth wicket and still need 6 runs to win. 148/4

11.2 OUT! CAUGHT! The bowling change has worked and Arshdeep Singh gets a vital breakthrough for his team. This is banged in short from over the wicket and over middle and leg. The ball comes in at a difficult height but Sai Sudharsan looks to take it on. Sudharsan ends up pulling it flat and towards fine leg where Prabhsimran Singh takes it reverse-cup style around his chest. Sudharsan departs after a sedate knock and Punjab have their second. 89/2

Pandya looks to whack this one over long on but gets it off the toe end of the bat. He ends up hitting it flat and toward long on, straight to Sam Curran who makes no mistake and takes the catch. Brar gets rid of the Gujarat skipper and Punjab are still hanging on here. 48 needed now off 34 balls. 106/3
