GT Claims Victory Over PBKS By 4 Wickets In Final Over Thriller

GT vs PBKS Highlights: Gujarat Titans (GT) secured a hard-fought four-wicket victory over the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 46 of IPL 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Chasing a target of 164, the hosts reached 167/6 with just one ball to spare in a tense final-over finish.  The Punjab Kings’ innings began disastrously after being put into bat, as Mohammed Siraj struck twice in the very first over to dismiss Priyansh Arya and Cooper Connolly. Kagiso Rabada further tightened the squeeze by removing Prabhsimran Singh, leaving the visitors reeling at 47/5 before the ninth over. A counter-attacking 79-run partnership between Suryansh Shedge and Marcus Stoinis revived the innings. Shedge was particularly explosive, smashing 57 off 29 balls with five sixes, including a 27-run assault in a single over from Manav Suthar. Stoinis contributed 40 off 31 deliveries before Jason Holder dismantled the lower order to finish with clinical figures of 4/24. Punjab eventually posted 163/9 in their 20 overs.  The Titans’ chase faced an early hurdle when captain Shubman Gill fell for 5 runs, but Sai Sudharsan anchored the innings with a composed 57 off 41 balls. Despite regular breakthroughs from the Punjab bowlers, most notably two wickets each for Arshdeep Singh and Vijaykumar Vyshak, Washington Sundar remained the calmest man in Ahmedabad. Sundar struck an unbeaten 40 from 23 deliveries, finding the boundary five times to guide Gujarat across the line in 19.5 overs. The victory marks a significant step for the Titans as they stay alive in the playoff race, while the league-leading Kings suffered their second defeat of the season.
