Arshdeep Singh conceded six runs in his final over while claiming the wicket of Jason Holder. He ended with figures of 2 for 24. Gujarat Titans need 11 runs in 6 balls. Marcus Stoinis will bowl the final over. Here we go.

OUT! A well-deserved wicket for Vijaykumar Vyshak! He had been bowling tightly to Jos Buttler and gets his wicket here.

Jos Buttler c Shreyas Iyer b Vijaykumar Vyshak 26(22) [4s-1 6s-2]

GT 69-2 (8.1)

Another good decision from the umpire saw Punjab Kings lose a second review in a failed attempt to get it overturned.

The umpire gave it not out, but Shreyas Iyer was convinced once again to go upstairs, and PBKS lost their second and final review.

GT 25-1 (3)

OUT! Poor shot selection from Shubman Gill and he pays heavy price for it! It was angling away from the batter, but he tried to go down the leg side. Gill ended up finding an edge. The ball went up in the air and Cooper Connolly took the catch.

PBKS 141-7 (17.4)

Eight runs come off the final over of Mohammed Siraj. He ends his quota of four overs with figures of 2 for 28. Punjab Kings have 18 balls remaining in this innings. They should aim to add 30-40 more from this point.

PBKS 134-6 (17)

Suryansh Shedge slams his fifty in just 24 balls! This has been a wonderful knock from the Punjab Kings youngster. The side was 47/5 when Shedge came in to bat, and he has now taken them to 118/5 in 15 overs.

6, 6, 4, 4, 6 – Suryansh Shedge smashed spinner Manav Suthar for three sixes and two fours in the over. A total of 27 runs came off it as Marcus Stoinis had taken a single on the first ball. Punjab Kings are on the charge.

"It looks beautiful, some grass on the wicket and some bounce considering it is black soil. We have played on this before. Xavier comes in and Vyshak comes in in the bowling side, it is not frustration, it is an intense league, we have to travel and come up fresh in every game. It is just another game and we will put our best foot forward," said Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer.

"We are gonna bowl first. We have been chasing well in the past few games and our bowling is doing well, so will continue that momentum. We spoke about our middle order finishing the game and the way Rahul bhai did was amazing. There is something in it initially for the bowlers. It is all about peaking at the right time, we are doing that and I still our best game is yet to come. One change - (Nishant) Sindhu makes his debut," said GT captain Shubman Gill.

Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill wins toss and opts to bowl against Punjab Kings in their IPL 2026 game in Ahmedabad.

Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill needs only 24 to score 4000 runs as opener in IPL. The right-handed batter has scored 373 runs at an average of 46.62 and a strike rate of 155.42 in eight matches this season.

Gujarat Titans come into this match on a two-game winning streak, though their campaign has largely been stop-start. They have struggled to string together consistent performances, but the recent wins suggest they may be settling into a rhythm. With back-to-back wins, first over Chennai Super Kings and then RCB, the Titans are fifth on the table with 10 points.

For Punjab Kings, which had set the early pace with six wins on the trot, the loss to Rajasthan Royals has brought a few concerns, especially with the ball. Punjab's bowling has not quite matched the consistency of their batting. In fact, their strong batting displays have often masked the shortcomings of the bowling unit. Even in victories, Punjab's bowlers have allowed opposition teams to score freely at stages, and the recent loss once again exposed those issues.

With their perfect run finally halted, Punjab Kings will look to ensure the slip does not turn into a slide when they take on Gujarat Titans, who will be targeting a third straight win.

PBKS were handed a bitter first defeat of the season by Rajasthan Royals earlier this week. Although Punjab Kings continue to lead the standings with 13 points from eight games, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals are just a point behind them.
