19.1: Washington Sundar to Cooper Connolly, FOUR! That's it! A poetic end to what has been an extremely competitive game of cricket in New Chandigarh. And it is the 22-year-old Aussie who stands tall at the end, repaying his team’s faith at number three with a debut knock that will be remembered for a long time. Sundar fires it in, full and on the off stump line. Cooper Connolly presses forward and executes a high-quality cover drive, through the gap between cover and point for a boundary to finish things off in style. Cooper Connolly stays unbeaten on 72 off just 44 balls. PUNJAB KINGS WIN BY 3 WICKETS!

19.6: Arshdeep Singh to Rashid Khan, Good review from Punjab Kings! Arshdeep Singh bowls it in the blockhole but just down the leg side. Rashid Khan stays deep in his crease and tries to whip it but misses. Given as a wide, but Shreyas Iyer takes a review. The UltraEdge shows a spike when the ball is close to the back foot of Rashid. The on-field call of wide is overturned and it will be a dot to end the innings. Gujarat Titans finish on 162/6!

1WD

Rahul Tewatia backs away and tries to upper cut it but gets a top edge. Vijaykumar Vyshak at short third gets under it and pouches it but it will not count. It is called a No Ball for being the third bouncer. Free Hit up next...

1WD
18.5: Vijaykumar Vyshak to Rahul Tewatia, WIDE! Tries the slower bouncer, outside off, but a bit too high, Rahul Tewatia leaves it alone. Given a wide for height but Prabhsimran Singh convinces his skipper to take the review. Taking longer than usual as there are some technical difficulties. The third umpire wants to check first whether the ball is inside the guidelines or not. Ball Tracking shows that it is fine. Now, we will move on to checking the height. Ball Tracking comes up again and shows that it is over the height of Tewatia. The on-field call of wide remains, and the Kings lose a review.

2
18.4: Vijaykumar Vyshak to Rahul Tewatia, Back of a length and on middle, Rahul Tewatia rolls his wrists and pulls it wide of deep square leg. Shashank Singh runs to his right and dives to stop the ball. He works in tandem with the deep mid-wicket fielder to save a couple of runs.

18.1: Vijaykumar Vyshak to Washington Sundar, OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! Vijaykumar Vyshak hits the deck hard, outside off, but gives no real pace on the ball. It is there to be put away and Washington Sundar slashes hard at it but fails to get any sort of power on the shot due to the lack of pace. The ball flies straight to deep point, where Arshdeep Singh takes a comfortable catch. GT lose half their side now and are falling apart here. Also, Vyshak is on a hat-trick now.
