Match Verdict

A tight finish at Mullanpur saw Punjab Kings squeeze home by 3 wickets with Cooper Connolly the hero – his unbeaten 72 off 44 steering the chase after a mid-innings wobble. Prasidh Krishna's three wickets threatened to derail PBKS, but Connolly and Xavier Bartlett (11* off 5) held their nerve. Marco Jansen's tidy 1/20 off 4 had earlier restricted Gujarat to a below-par 162.
