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

Mohammed Siraj to Prabhsimran Singh, Straighter in line, on the pads, and worked away to deep backward square leg for a single by Prabhsimran.

Mohammed Siraj to Prabhsimran Singh, Short of a good length and around off, Prabhsimran Singh goes for the drive but gets it uppishly and into the gap at covers for a couple of runs.

Mohammed Siraj to Prabhsimran Singh, Another lovely delivery, this one stays a shade low as well. Good-length delivery, seaming away from off and middle. Singh pushes at it but gets beaten past the outside edge and the ball misses the off stump by a whisker as well.

Kagiso Rabada to Shreyas Iyer, A jaffa to finish the over. Good length again, on off, the ball straightens off the deck and bounces steeply, beating Iyer past the outside edge.

Kagiso Rabada to Prabhsimran Singh, Hard length, darted into the pads, Singh fails to tuck it away. The ball goes off the pads and behind square leg for a leg bye.

Kagiso Rabada to Prabhsimran Singh, Extra bounce! Good length, on off, shoots off the deck and Prabhsimran Singh gets taken aback, getting hit on the gloves.

Kagiso Rabada to Prabhsimran Singh, Length ball outside off, driven wide of deep third but Siraj tidies up to his right in the deep and keeps it down to two runs.

Kagiso Rabada to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR! Streaky but will do nicely for Singh. Back of a length and in the channel, Singh rocks back and punches but the ball flies off the outer half of the blade and into the vacant third man fence.

Kagiso Rabada to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR! Into the gap! On a good length, outside the off stump, Prabhsimran Singh hits it through the line and creams it through the cover and point gap for a boundary.

Top-drawer opening over from Siraj. Kagiso Rabada will operate from the opposite end.

Mohammed Siraj to Shreyas Iyer, What an over to start the game, 6 runs and a couple of wickets off it. Good length around the top of off, Iyer hangs back and watchfully keeps it out in front of point.

Mohammed Siraj to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! That's glorious from Iyer. Short of a good length, outside off, Iyer rocks back and slams it through the gap at covers for a boundary, the first one of the game.

Mohammed Siraj to Shreyas Iyer, No hat-trick! Back of a length and outside off. Shreyas Iyer gets on his toes and dabs it down towards point.

What a sensational start for the Titans through Siraj. And got to say, a brilliant decision by the on-field umpire amid the deafening noise from the crowd. In walks the PBKS captain, Shreyas Iyer, at number 4 and will face the Hat Trick ball.

Mohammed Siraj to Cooper Connolly, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A peach of a delivery and Mohammed Siraj is on a hat-trick in the very first over. This is bowled on a good length and on off, the ball shapes back in beautifully. Connolly has a push at it but the ball zips past the inside edge. There's a prolonged appeal for a caught behind and eventually, the umpire raises his finger. Cooper Connolly seems uncertain and has a chat with Prabhsimran Singh before finally taking the review. UltraEdge comes up and shows a thin spike when the ball is next to the inside edge. Connolly has to walk back and GT are up and about as one.

Huge blow for PBKS as the lethal opening pair is separated in just two balls. Siraj continues to dominate in the Powerplay. Cooper Connolly is in at number 3.

Mohammed Siraj to Priyansh Arya, OUT! CAUGHT! Siraj gets his man on the second chance and Punjab Kings are already 2/1 after just 2 deliveries. Siraj dishes out another short-pitched delivery, bowling it wide outside the off stump. Priyansh Arya fails to resist the temptation and flat-bats it wide of deep backward point. Nishant Sindhu, the debutant, scampers across to his left and takes a fine sliding catch.

Mohammed Siraj to Priyansh Arya, Oh, what a valiant effort from Jos Buttler. Mohammed Siraj and GT almost get a wicket on the first ball. Siraj begins with a shortish delivery over off and middle. Priyansh Arya looks to pull but gets a top edge that flies down towards fine leg, but fairly fine. The keeper runs after it and puts in a big dive but the ball falls out of reach. Two taken.

All set to get going in Ahmedabad. It's been a scorching day, but a bit of evening breeze out there might bring some kind of relief for the spectators and players. The two umpires walk out to the middle. Shubman Gill leads his troops out to the park as the Titans spread to take their respective fielding spots. The destructive opening pair of Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya make their way to the crease. Mohammed Siraj has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Arya will face the first ball. There's a slip in place. The countdown is done and it's time to play. Here we go!

The Knights dominate the Orange Army - Well, another pretty one-sided contest, which has just concluded, in Hyderabad. Kolkata Knight Riders have chased down 166 with plenty of comfort, winning by 7 wickets to halt the SRH juggernaut. Three wins on the trot now for KKR. It takes them to 7 points and they remain in the eighth position. For the Sunrisers, this is their fourth defeat but they remain in a very strong position, currently third on the table with 12 points.

The captain of the Punjab Kings - Shreyas Iyer, on the pitch, says it looks beautiful with a little bit of grass on it. Adds that it is a black soiled surface that is a little unusual. He adds that Punjab have played a game on this surface before. On the team changes, he confirms Xavier Bartlett and Vijaykumar Vyshak come back in the side. On the intensity of the league, he says it is not frustration but an intense tournament where they have to travel and come up fresh for every game. He calls it just another game and says Punjab will try to execute to the best of their abilities.

The captain of the Gujarat Titans - Shubman Gill says that they will bowl first because they have been chasing well and their bowling has also been top-notch. Adds that how Rahul Tewatia batted and finished things off in the last game was good to see. On the pitch, Gill says that there is a green tinge to it. Feels that in a tournament like the IPL, you need to peak at the right time, which he feels they are doing and hopes that this is a perfect game for them. Ends by informing that Nishant Sindhu is set to make his debut.
