England batter Liam Livingstone slammed his second half-century as he aggregated 64 runs off 27 balls. Though Punjab lost wickets successively during their innings, run-scoring never stopped for them owing to good stroke play from their tailenders.
Chasing 190 runs total, Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans (GT) didn’t have an ideal start as wicketkeeper batter Matthew Wade was dismissed pretty early. However, to cover things up for GT, opener batter Shubman Gill extended his sublime touch and plundered 96 runs from 59 deliveries.
