Not a very convincing or confident performance for either team, but for Gujarat Titans, the two points mattered more than anything else. All the way down to the second-last ball to chase 164, but they manage it, levelling on 12 points with RCB, RR, and SRH.(ANI Picture Service)

It was a dream start for Gujarat Titans – knowing the damage PBKS can do, Mohammed Siraj removed Priyansh Arya with the second ball of the match, adding Cooper Connolly right afterwards. GT pushed their advantage with the wicket of Prabhsimran Singh falling to Kagiso Rabada at the end of the powerplay.(PTI)

Not the night for captain Shreyas Iyer – he fell cheaply before he could really begin accelerating, another rare batting failure in the PBKS top order.(ANI Picture Service)

After the team was struggling on 36/4, Suryansh Shedge was tasked with reconstructing, and played a fine knock of 57(29). His acceleration came with a big 27-run over off the bowling of Manav Suthar, displaying his power and deputising well for Shashank SIngh.(ANI Picture Service)

Defending 164, a wicket or two against GT's strong top order was needed, and Arshdeep Singh did just that with the wicket of Shubman Gill in the second over. It allowed PBKS to control the run-rate for much of the innings.(PTI)

Sai Sudharsan saw his top 3 partners fall relatively cheaply, but played a mature innings on a tricky wicket. It was a controlled innings of 57, placing him back into the race to defend his Orange Cap – but he would be disappointed he couldn't stick around to get the job done on the night, needing his teammates to help out.(PTI)

Washington Sundar saw a shuffle of position down to number five, and delivered from that position. The all-rounder scored 40*(23) with five fours, and a six to wrap up the match in style when only two balls were left.(AFP)
