All the five matches at this venue have gone to the final over, but the home team managed to win just one. Opting to bat, Punjab got off to a brisk start, thanks to Prabhsimran's blitz in the powerplay, but the troika of GT spinners ruled the roost in the middle overs as they finished with combined bowling figures of 7/68. Chasing 143, Gujarat lost Saha inside the powerplay once again. Sai Sudharsan joined his skipper and the equation was tailor-made for the duo. Shubman Gill was looking in good touch as well but his miscued loft resulted in GT stuttering a bit. Livingstone removed Gill and Miller to bring back life into this contest. Sai Sudharsan and Azmatullah were dismissed in quick succession and the Titans slipped from 77/1 to 103/4. With 38 runs needed off four overs, the game was pretty much in the balance. That's when Tewatia decided to do Tewatia things! He struck a couple of boundaries against Brar and Rabada conceded 20 runs off the 18th over which extinguished Punjab's hopes. Harshal picked a couple of wickets in the penultimate over but that only delayed the proceedings.
