IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Highlights: Punjab Kings got off to a good start after winning the toss and choosing to bat first with captain Sam Curran and Prabhsimran Singh putting up an opening stand of 52 runs. However, the wheels came off after that as the Gujarat Titans' spinners strangled their batters for runs.

The Indian spinner ended up with figures of 4/33 as Punjab Kings were all out for a score of 142 in 20 overs. ...Read More
The chase wasn't as straightforward as the Titans would have expected. With 42 runs to get off 30 balls, Titans eventually recorded a comfortable win in 19.1 overs courtesy a pressure releasing cameo from Rahul Tewatia (36 not out off 16). It was Gujarat Titans' fourth win in eight games while Punjab Kings suffered their sixth loss in eight matches. Shubman Gill (35 off 29) got tough runs at the top of the order before falling to a mistimed aerial hit off Livingstone. Sai Sudharsan (31 off 33) also found stroke making hard while the dangerous David Miller was Livingstone's second victim. Punjab Kings were able to apply the pressure in the middle overs but Tewatia defused their threat with a timely onslaught comprising six boundaries.

IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans: “Just trying to give my 120% for the team, playing after 20-25 days, so just wanted to go there, enjoy myself and give my everything. Ashish Nehra has created a beautiful environment where we can be fearless and play for the team no matter what the result is. He told me to enjoy myself and gave me a lot of freedom to express myself. Instinctively I felt into the wicket and just change of pace was the way to go here, it worked out beautifully. Credit to everyone who showed up today. Rahul played an amazing knock once again. Rashid and Noor bowled beautifully, overall complete team effort.”

IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans: “Would have liked to finish it a bit early, but good to get those two points. (Captaincy) It's been very exciting for me to be able to take up this role. Except for the over-rate, everything has been good. When I am out there batting, I just want to play as a batter, I don't want to think too much about the captaincy. He (Livingstone) was trying to rush me there but the ball that I got out, I would have made that decision even if I was batting as a batsman or even without that little bit that we had (small altercation).”

IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans: “The effort with the ball was incredible, the commitment and fight was amazing, but it was not enough. The Afghanistan spinners are world class bowlers and Sai Kishore bowled really well, credit to them. That is the third time we have used that pitch, anything above 160 would have been a par total but we still fought well. Prabhsimran played really well in the powerplay but unfortunately we lost a cluster of wickets after that. Now we know what to do, we have to win every game.”

IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans: Arshdeep Singh bowls the final over and his first ball is too straight. Tewatia simply plays it down the leg side and seals the victory. Somehow, they drag themselves to victory in a chase that most teams in this league, the way they are playing right now, would finish off before the 15th over. Far from convincing from the Titans but, hey, if this is what it takes to get their campaign back up and running, they won't care how it comes.

He was hit fir a six off the first ball of the 12th by Jitesh. Then two balls and then Sai Kishore leaves Jitesh dumbfounded by dragging his length back fourth ball. The batter comes down the track and the ball bounces well in front of him, he misses his swing entirely and the stumps behind him are rattled. Out walks Ashutosh Sharma to join Shashank and so Punjab, once again, are left to hope that either of these two, if not both, pull off yet another miracle.

IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans: Liam Livingstone seems to have as much idea about how to pick Noor and Rashid as we do right now of a comet set to hit the earth and end humanity right now. He has somehow pulled himself to two off seven, Jitesh is on six off seven. That was Rashid's third over, Noor to bowl his third as well, Gill making Livingstone sweat.

IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans: Punjab got off to a fairly good start but that is all in tatters now. Full ball around leg that Curran tries to put away leg side.

The South African goes for the sweep but the ball hits the pads. The umpire turns down the appeal and Gill takes the review. It is three reds and Rossouw has to go.

PBKS vs GT IPL Live Score: PBKS 63/2 in 7 overs
IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans: That was a good start for PBKS but then the wickeg spoils things a bit. Moreover, in a season where scoring over 70 runs in the powerplay has been normalised, 56 feels a little outdated. But then PBKS are facing a team whose batting hasn't fared much better than their own. Rilee Rossouw, who was a victim of Jasprit Bumrah's yorkers and fell for a duck in the last match, has scored four off three, Curran on 15 off 13.

IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans: Rashid Khan does an even better job at restricting PBKS than Mohit the very next over and there might be some pressure building on the two batters. Singles off the first, third and fifth balls is all they could conjure.

IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans: Curran with a four off the first ball of the fourth over for which Mohit Sharma has brought in. No more boundaries in that over though and Curran is on 12 off nine, Prabhsimran on 28 off 16.

Two dot balls and then two runs off the fourth ball after which Prabhsimran smashes the fifth ball over cover for a four.

IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans: Considering how the other game of the day is going, and how numerous others have gone this season, it seems quite clear that a number of teams have decided to just swing at almost anything they see, score and obscene amount of runs and then start thinking about anything else. Not GT though. GT have hit just 27 sixes, the lowest for any team this season by some distance. The second lowest is LSG at 52. Just to put things in perspective, Heinrich Klaasen alone has hit 26 sixes this season.
IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans: Azmatullah Omarzai has made it into the squad while Spencer Johnson sits out.

IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans: Jonny Bairstow was dropped in PBKS's last game against Mumbai Indians after a string of poor performances this season. Bairstow scored 96 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 131.50 and average of 16.00. It has been a hard time out for Bairstow in India and he has been here for a long time. He was part of the England team who had a fiasco of an outing in the 2023 World Cup, then he played the five-match Test series against India as well. Only two 50s across formats throughout this period for England, none for Punjab Kings.
IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans: Shikhar Dhawan's absence could be a chance for Prabhsimran Singh, another chance out of the many he has got this season that is, to come good. Prabhsimran has looked woefully out of form and it had looked like PBKS may have moved on from him when they chose to open with Atharva Taide and Jonny Bairstow. However, Taide was dropped in the next game and PBKS somehow chose to send out stand-in skipper Sam Curran as opening partner to Prabhsimran. Wonder what combination they will throw up today.
IPL 2024 PBKS vs GT Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans:
