Done with the double-header Sunday - It was a day where teams outside the top four got the better of those currently in the playoff spots, which certainly makes things interesting. Up next, it is a clash of the bottom dwellers on Monday, 4th May, as the Mumbai Indians lock horns with the Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium. It has been all doom and gloom for Mumbai, with just 2 wins from 9 games, while Lucknow come into this on the back of five straight defeats, but are coming off a break and will hope to start afresh. The game will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but you can join us early for the build-up. Take care and goodbye!
Looking ahead - Back-to-back defeats for the Punjab Kings, but they remain at the top of the table. A trip to Hyderabad is up next for Shreyas Iyer and his men, where they will face the Sunrisers on Wednesday, 6th May. As far as the Gujarat Titans are concerned, they have a short break before their next assignment against the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Saturday, 9th May.
The skipper of the Gujarat Titans - Shubman Gill says that they are peaking at the right time, but is quick to admit that in the chases, they would not like to take the game this deep, stressing winning more convincingly. He is happy with the two points. Adds that they always knew this was not the kind of wicket where they could chase it down in 15 or 16 overs, and that if someone is set, they should go deep. He points out that the length balls were not coming well on the bat, and it was important for the batter who was set to stay out there. He says they were lucky that Washington Sundar got the job done for them. On whether sending out left-handers one after another was a conscious effort, Gill denies that and shares that it was all about the situation they were in and wanted to pick the best batter for that moment.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Jason Holder gets the award for his heroics with the ball. He starred for the Titans with figures of 4/24 from his 4 overs. Jason says that Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj were outstanding upfront, which made his job easier in the middle overs. Mentions that his role was still about coming in and executing his plans. Holder mentions that over the last year and a half, he has mostly played T20 cricket and hasn’t featured much in Tests, but says that the chapter is not closed and he would still love to play the longer format. Jason admits he is a little disappointed not to have finished off the last couple of games, but feels things have been going well overall.
Time for the presentation ceremony...
Recovered but not enough - After being asked to bat first, Punjab found the Gujarat quicks too hot to handle. Mohammed Siraj set the tone early with a double strike in the opening over, and the likes of Kagiso Rabada and Jason Holder followed suit to reduce Punjab to 47/5. Suryansh Shedge then produced a fine counterpunch with his maiden IPL fifty, with Marcus Stoinis providing support at the other end. A late push from Marco Jansen helped the Kings reach 163.
Partnerships do the job - The Punjab seamers could not replicate the damage done by their counterparts and were a touch too short with the new ball. After losing Shubman Gill early, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler came together to provide GT with a solid start. PBKS did manage to apply the squeeze outside the Powerplay, but Sai held firm for GT, stitching partnerships throughout his stay. That meant the Kings couldn't pick up wickets in clusters. Sai's departure did inject some belief into the Punjab camp, especially given Gujarat's fragile middle order, but Washington Sundar stepped up and took the home side over the line.
GT's man of the moment - Washington Sundar says that they had to be calculative on this surface, and it was tough to score off hard-length deliveries. Adds that he looked to use the field smartly, and it worked out well for him. On the nerves in the last over, Washi mentions that Arshad is a strong hitter of the long ball, and the message was to stay calm and back his strengths. Further says that the boundary he struck early in the over was crucial.
The captain of the Punjab Kings - Shreyas Iyer says that 163 was a good score, especially on the pitch where the new ball was doing a fair bit and there was some help for the seamers as well. Credits the GT bowlers for making the best use of the surface, and highlights that they lost 3-4 wickets in the Powerplay. But mentions that getting to 160-plus from that position was a phenomenal effort by the middle order. Iyer says he thought Punjab would be able to hit line and length, be accurate and take wickets with the new ball but it did not work out. He gives full credit to the attitude and approach of his side but admits they missed on hitting the hard lengths. He adds that hitting over mid-wicket was not easy on this wicket given the variable bounce and that in terms of execution, Punjab fell short. On the table standings, he says Punjab are still top and will take positives from that. He says it shows the character of the bowlers that they wanted to win but it just did not click today. He adds that he is looking forward to their next game against SRH in Hyderabad. Adds that if the character is high and the attitude is right, the results will come eventually.
The Gujarat Titans get the job done - Another one of those middling totals they back themselves to chase, but this one got a bit too close for comfort. They will be relieved not to have botched it up. That's three wins in a row for the Titans now, with two of those coming against the top two teams, first RCB and now PBKS. Punjab Kings suffer their second straight defeat, but will take heart from the way they stretched the game as long as they did.

Marcus Stoinis To Arshad Khan
Well bowled! Good execution from Stoinis. Pinpoint yorker at the stumps from Marcus, Arshad Khan loses his balance to flick it away to the leg side, and inside edges on the boot. The ball rolls in front of the bowler and the batters decide to charge through for a single. Stoinis rushes forward, collects the ball and releases the throw to the bowling end, but misses his shy and Khan gets home with the dive.

Marcus Stoinis To Arshad Khan
Just short! But an excellent piece of fielding by Suryansh in the deep! Pitched outside leg, on a fuller length. Arshad Khan again gets a good piece of wood on it. He flicks it aerially to the left of deep square leg. Suryansh Shedge runs and dives to his left, and half stops it on the bounce, parrying the ball away from him. Gets up and recovers very quickly. The batters cross over for the second run. Stoinis, by his expressions, wanted the fielder to be a bit finer than he was.
A long conference between Shreyas Iyer and Marcus Stoinis regarding the field setting.

Marcus Stoinis To Arshad Khan
FOUR! Gets it away! Stoinis aims the toes and nails the yorker in, on the leg stump line. Arshad Khan gets the front foot across, his head falls over, but he jams it out. Gets it more off the inner half to the long leg fence for a boundary. GT need 6 runs from 5 balls now.

Marcus Stoinis To Arshad Khan
WIDE! Reload! Way, way too short into the pitch, takes pace off on middle. Arshad Khan lets it fly over his head. Wide called.
Right, time for the final over. Not quite sure how it has come down to this, but who's complaining? Punjab's frontline quicks have bowled out. Marcus Stoinis has been trusted to bowl the final over. The Titans need 11 runs from 6 balls.

The Punjab Kings continue to fight. Arshad Khan walks out to the middle. Rashid Khan was also an option, but GT are trusting Arshad to do the job.

Arshdeep Singh To Jason Holder OUT!
OUT! SUPERB CATCH! Great pair of hands from Cooper Connolly and this game is far from being over. Good length, angling from middle to off. Jason Holder clears the front leg to heave it over the deep mid-wicket fence, but hits it off the inner half and hence, does not get the distance. Cooper Connolly charges to his left from deep mid-wicket, watches the ball like a hawk and takes a good diving catch. The big man cannot get the job done for his team. GT still need 12 from 7 balls.

Arshdeep Singh To Jason Holder
Had to really hurry there! From around the wicket, this is on a length, on off. Jason walks across and tucks it with soft hands into the mid-wicket region, and the call is for two straight away. Cooper Connolly from deep mid-wicket charges in off the ropes, picks the ball and throws it on the bounce to the keeper with Holder sprinting to complete the second run. Prabhsimran Singh collects the ball and whips the bails off, but Holder is in by then.

Marco Jansen To Rahul Tewatia OUT!
OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! Jansen keeps PBKS very much alive. Rahul cannot quite believe it. Marco hits the hard length, keeping the line of attack around middle and off. Rahul Tewatia crouches a bit and tries to pull it over the deep square leg fielder, but ends up hitting it flat and straight into the safe hands of Xavier Bartlett stationed in the deep. Xavier does not have to move much and takes a watchful catch. The Titans are 140/5, needing 24 runs from 18 balls.

Overpitched delivery, on middle. Sundar flicks it to the left of deep mid-wicket and they hurry for the second run. Priyansh Arya gets across and throws it to the bowler, which forces Tewatia to dive to get back home. He does so before Jansen collects and breaks the stumps.

Marco Jansen To Washington Sundar
FOUR! Vijaykumar Vyshak's effort goes in vain. On a back of a length, on off. Washington Sundar walks inside the line and gets low to get under the ball. He plays the scoop and gets just enough bat on it to clear Vijaykumar at short fine leg. Vyshak goes after it and puts in a dive. He pulls it back but the ball threatens to trickle into the ropes. He tries to push it away again but at that moment, he was in contact with the ropes, and it has been given as a boundary.
Clean effort? Nope, Vijaykumar Vyshak was in contact with the boundary cushions when he pushed the ball away.

Marco Jansen To Washington Sundar
FOUR! Off the edge! GT get closer and closer. Back of a length, nipping in from around off. Washington Sundar tries to hoick across the line but misreads the line and gets a leading edge and the ball goes to the left of the keeper, racing to the fence behind.

Big blow for the Titans as they lose the in-form Sai Sudharsan. It is now a big test for their middle and lower middle order to get the job done. GT use their impact sub. Rahul Tewatia is in at number 6, while Mohammed Siraj is subbed out.

Vijaykumar Vyshak To Sai Sudharsan OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Sai Sudharsan holes out. He throws his head back in disappointment at not finishing the game himself. A well-directed short ball by Vyshak, around the left shoulder, Sudharsan pivots on the back foot for the pull but is rushed and he can't get the desired power on the shot. Xavier Bartlett hangs back on the ropes at deep mid-wicket. Bartlett gets his hands high and times the jump to perfection to take the catch over his head.

Yuzvendra Chahal To Sai Sudharsan
A bit of turn into the pads, slightly short on leg. Sudharsan presses back and plays it with soft hands in front of deep mid-wicket. He takes the first one hard and comes charging back for the second.
STRATEGIC BREAK! This game is nicely hanging in balance right now as the Punjab Kings have done really well to pull things back in this middle phase. And that too, despite Yuzvendra Chahal not having bowled a single over yet. Shreyas has trusted his pacers as there is a fair bit of nip and bounce and it's not been easy to go aggressive for the new batters. Gujarat Titans need 61 runs from 42 balls and they will bank their hopes on Sai Sudharsan to get the job done. But he will need solid support from the middle order. The Kings know that a couple of more wickets here will really tighten things further. And finally, Yuzvendra Chahal is introduced into the attack.

Ends up slicing it off the lower half of the blade towards deep third. He gets the height but not the distance.

On any other day, that would have crashed back into the stumps. Just outside the off stump, on a good length. Sindhu gets the front leg out of the way and looks to thrash it through the off side. Gets an inside edge onto the back leg and he is called through for a single by Sai as the ball drops beside him.
That will ease a lot of pressure for GT. They manage to squeeze out a big over after a long time. Marcus Stoinis is back on.

Vijaykumar Vyshak To Jos Buttler OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! A massive wicket for PBKS. Iyer is charged up, and so is Vyshak, who fishes out Buttler. Vijaykumar hits the hard length, around the top of off, Jos Buttler backs away a bit to create room, trying to lift it over the cover region, but the ball holds on slightly and arrives a fraction later than the Englishman expected. He shimmies down the track a bit but hits it off the toe end. It balloons over extra cover, where Shreyas Iyer moves to his left and takes the catch. Buttler knew it straight away. Gujarat Titans are 69/2, needing 95 more runs.
Back-to-back overs for the Punjab Kings without conceding a boundary. Still, the required run rate is under 8 for the Gujarat Titans with them needing 95 runs off 72 balls.

Vijaykumar Vyshak To Jos Buttler
PBKS burn a review! Gets the ball to cut back into the batter, full in length on the leg stump line. Buttler gets a bit across to flick, but misses as the ball passes very close to the inside edge before being hit on the front pad. It deflects to the leg side. They cross for a leg bye. Vyshak looks very interested and appeals for LBW, but the umpire shakes his head. He convinces Iyer to take the review. UltraEdge comes up and shows a flat line, but the Ball Tracking projects the ball to miss the leg stump. Punjab have lost both their reviews.
Review time. LBW not given on-field, and the Punjab Kings have taken the review. No bat, but this looks to be sliding down leg. Yep, it is indeed going past the leg pole, confirmed by the Ball Tracking.

Vijaykumar Vyshak To Sai Sudharsan
Pitched slightly outside leg, on a good length. Sai plays off the back foot and steers it to deep backward square leg for a run.
STRATEGIC BREAK! A bright start for the Gujarat Titans in pursuit of a middling total. Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler have been watchful but quick to pounce on anything loose. Punjab Kings managed just the one wicket of Shubman Gill in the Powerplay and could not keep the scoring in check. They will know that GT's middle order has shown signs of fragility, and breaking this stand could open things up for them. No spin just yet. It will be Vijaykumar Vyshak to bowl after the break.

Strangled down leg? Xavier Bartlett is the only one to appeal. No reaction from Prabhsimran Singh behind the sticks. Punjab do not go for the review. Down leg on a back of a length, Sudharsan looks to glance it fine but misses. Wide not given by the umpire, so it might have brushed the thigh on the way to the keeper.

Rapped on the pads! A confident shout from Marco Jansen, but it is turned down. Height seems to be an issue but Shreyas Iyer takes the review. From around the wicket to the right-hander, on a nagging length, on middle. Buttler is rooted to the crease and presents a straight bat for the block. The ball goes past the inside edge and catches Jos on the flap of the front pad. No bat involved on the UltraEdge. The Ball Tracking has the ball going over the leg stump. PBKS lose their review.
