PBKS vs GT Highlights, IPL 2026: Washington Sundar smashes six to help Gujarat Titans beat Punjab Kings by four wickets

PBKS vs GT Highlights, IPL 2026: Gujarat Titans continued their strong push towards the IPL 2026 playoffs with a thrilling four-wicket victory over Punjab Kings in Ahmedabad. Chasing a target of 164 on a challenging surface, Gujarat kept their composure in the final moments to register their third straight win and tighten the race at the top of the table.

The match swung back and forth throughout the evening. Punjab Kings were in early trouble after losing four wickets in the powerplay, thanks to disciplined spells from Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada and Jason Holder. However, debutant Suryansh Shedge produced a fearless counterattack, smashing 57 off just 29 balls. Marcus Stoinis also chipped in with 40 as PBKS recovered from 47/5 to post 163/9.

In reply, Gujarat lost captain Shubman Gill early, but Sai Sudharsan once again showed maturity beyond his years with a calm 57-run knock. Jos Buttler supported him with a quick 25, but Punjab continued to stay in the contest with regular breakthroughs.

The pressure increased when Gujarat needed 11 runs in the final over after Rahul Tewatia’s dismissal. However, Washington Sundar remained composed under pressure and guided the Titans home alongside Arshad Khan, eventually sealing the victory with a six.

The result keeps Punjab Kings at the top of the standings despite consecutive defeats, but the gap behind them is shrinking rapidly. Gujarat Titans, meanwhile, appear to be finding momentum at the perfect stage of the tournament, with their bowling attack and middle-order composure becoming major strengths heading into the final phase of the league stage.

STRATEGIC BREAK! What a time to get a wicket for the Titans and it is the in-form Suryansh Shedge who gets out. Punjab Kings have managed to drag their way out of trouble and with 4 overs remaining, they will now be targeting a score of around 160-170. GT will be pleased with that wicket but will hope to get a couple more, or else, Punjab could end up getting a defendable total on the board. With that said, Marco Jansen walks out to bat now. Also, Mohammed Siraj will bowl out. 3-0-20-2 so far are his bowling figures.

Kagiso Rabada to Suryansh Shedge, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Rabada shows his smarts and ends this 79-run partnership. Hits the hard length, just outside off at over 145 kph and gets a good bit of lift as well. The shot is on for Shedge to play the ramp shot. He stands tall, goes for it to hit it over short third, but is beaten by pace and edges it back to the keeper. Probably cramped for space too on that occasion. Buttler gathers it nicely above his head. Top knock from the young Suryansh Shedge. Punjab Kings are 126/6. Rabada ends his spell with excellent figures, reading 4-1-22-2.

Gujarat Titans edged past Punjab Kings in a tense last-over thriller to strengthen their playoff hopes in IPL 2026. The four-wicket win in Ahmedabad marked Gujarat’s third consecutive victory and highlighted the growing momentum they are building at a crucial stage of the season. While Punjab Kings remain at the top of the table, the race for playoff spots has become increasingly tight, with several teams now level on points behind them.

Batting first on a surface that offered help to bowlers, Punjab Kings struggled badly during the powerplay. Mohammed Siraj struck twice in the opening over, while Kagiso Rabada and Jason Holder kept the pressure firmly on. Punjab slipped to 47/5 and looked in danger of collapsing for a below-par total.

However, debutant Suryansh Shedge produced a fearless innings under pressure to revive the visitors. The youngster smashed 57 runs from just 29 deliveries and formed a crucial 79-run partnership with Marcus Stoinis, who added 40. Shedge attacked whenever the opportunity came, particularly against the spinners, helping PBKS recover to 163/9 — a score that eventually proved competitive on the difficult pitch.

Gujarat Titans did not enjoy the smoothest start to their chase either, losing Shubman Gill early. But Sai Sudharsan once again anchored the innings superbly, scoring a composed 57 off 41 balls. Jos Buttler contributed with a brisk cameo, but Punjab kept fighting back through timely wickets to ensure the contest remained alive till the final over.

With Gujarat needing 11 runs off the final six balls, Washington Sundar stepped up calmly under pressure. The all-rounder remained unbeaten on 40 and, along with Arshad Khan, guided Gujarat home with a ball to spare. Washington fittingly sealed the victory with a six, sparking celebrations among the home crowd.

The victory further underlined Gujarat Titans’ reputation as one of the best chasing teams in the IPL. Punjab Kings, despite the loss, showed resilience after a poor start and will still take positives from the fight shown by their middle order and bowlers in a closely fought encounter.
