Shikhar Dhawan won the toss and opted to bowl. The Kings are without a win in their last two games, hoping to break the streak in Ahmedabad
Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha got off to a confident start, with Saha surviving an lbw appeal
Kagiso Rabada, who was introduced in the third over, was expensive up front, conceding 11 runs. But he also dismissed Wriddhiman Saha
Kane Williamson, playing his first match of the season for the Titans, was handed the responsibility of supporting Gill in keeping the scoreboard ticking
Skipper Gill and Williamson added 40 runs for the second wicket before Harpreet Brar managed to give the breakthrough for PBKS by dismissing the latter
But Gill stood firm on the other side and stitched a crucial 32-ball 53 alongside Sai Sudharsan for the third wicket and maintained a healthy run rate
Gill (89, 48b) remained unbeaten till the end of the first innings and partnered with Vijay Shankar and Rahul Tewatia to help Gujarat set a target of 200
PBKS captain Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow opened the chase while Azmatullah Omarzai started off with the ball
Umesh Yadav struck on his first ball as Dhawan, who tried to cut a length ball, chopped it on to his stumps
Noor Ahmad created inroads on consecutive overs to remove the set Bairstow and Prabhsimran Singh to leave PBKS reeling at 64/3 in the 8th over
Sam Curran’s struggle with the bat continued as he gifted his wicket to a short delivery from Omarzai. The Englishman has scored 91 runs in four matches so far
With Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma in the middle, PBKS needed 41 runs from the last three overs
Ashutosh fell off the first ball of the final over with PBKS needing 7 runs to win but Shashank held his nerves to see his team through
