Right then, given that Shubman Gill said at the toss that he would be happy to restrict Punjab anywhere between 160-170, Gujarat will be the happier of the two sides at the halfway mark. Although their batting has struggled, the visitors will be confident enough to gun down this total. The 40-run stand between Harpreet Brar and Harpreet Singh has given Punjab something to bowl at. However, they have only one frontline spinner in the form of Brar on a surface assisting spinners. Join us in a bi

Punjab get bowled out for 142 on the last ball and this has been a job well done by Gujarat. Despite the venue historically favouring pacers with only 9 wickets taken by spinners in the earlier 4 games, it was Gujarat's spin trio that wreaked havoc, accounting for 7 of the 10 wickets. After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, Azmatullah Omarzai, on his return to the side, bowled a quiet first over, conceding just 2 runs. However, Sandeep Warrier struggled with his lines and lengths in hi

Sai Kishore is up for a quick chat. He says that he enjoyed bowling and he tried to give his 120 per cent. He reckons the pitch slowed down as the game progressed and he grabbed on the opportunity following his instincts. Also says that he bowled according to the conditions and requirements and is happy to contribute to the team.

As for Punjab, after opting to bat first, Prabhsimran Singh did what was asked of him by providing a brisk start. Although Sam Curran struggled for timing, Prabhsimran kept the boundaries coming and ensured a favourable Powerplay for Punjab before departing. However, it was yet another short stay at the crease for Rilee Rossouw, and Sam Curran fell in the very next over. From there, it all fell apart for Punjab as the Gujarat spinners spun a web around them. The Punjab batters compounded their

Strategic Break! Another match, and the same story for Punjab. A dramatic collapse again in the mid-over phase has led to all sorts of trouble for them as half of the side is into the sheds and it's not even 100 on the board. The two men in-form Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh are out in the middle and they would be aiming to provide a stronger finish for Punjab. Shubman Gill has used his spin trio to perfection which has caused the most damage to Punjab. They will be aiming to get a cou

Strategic break! Punjab will be pleased with how the Powerplay went for them. Yes, they did lose Prabhsimran Singh but he did his job and losing only one wicket has been an improvement for a side that has had their Powerplay issues. The onus is now on Rilee Rossouw and Sam Curran to build on the created platform and aim for a big score. On the other hand, Gujarat will be relieved to see the back of Prabhsimran and will now look to make a comeback in the middle phase. With the addition of Sai

The two openers for Punjab are Sam Curran and Prabhsimran Singh. It will be Azmatullah Omarzai to commence the proceedings with the ball. Let's play...

Rilee Rossouw is up for a flash interview. He says playing in the Indian T20 League is a great experience and he has met different people and has learnt a lot from them. Adds that it's nice to play and get an experience of different conditions with a packed crowd. Further says the game has grown so much over the years. On being asked about handling the pressure, he says he just wants to enter the field, see the ball and hit it. Adds they have got some world-class players and it's about making t

Punjab (Unchanged Playing XI) - Sam Curran (C), Prabhsimran Singh, Rilee Rossouw, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Shashank Singh, Ashutosh Sharma, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh.

The captain of Gujarat, Shubman Gill says that they wanted to bowl first so losing the toss does not make much difference. Feels that being halfway through the season, each game becomes very important. Adds that they need to pull up their socks and play their best cricket. States that they have had some injuries and informs that Azmatullah Omarzai comes back into the side, replacing Spencer Johnson. Ends by saying that restricting Punjab between 160-170 will be good for them.

The skipper of Punjab, Sam Curran says that they will bat first and want to put some runs on the board. On being asked about the surface, he says it's the third time that this pitch is being used. Adds they will try to put pressure on Gujarat's bowling attack. Also says that's the nature of the Indian T20 League, it's a big tournament and on a given day anyone can win against any side. Informs that Shikhar Dhawan is still not playing and says they are going with the same side.

Impact players nominated by Gujarat - BR Sharath, Sai Sudharsan, Manav Suthar, Darshan Nalkande and Vijay Shankar.

Gujarat (Playing XI) - Wriddhiman Saha(C), Shubman Gill, David Miller, Azmatullah Omarzai, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Sai Kishore, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Sandeep Warrier, Mohit Sharma.

Impact players nominated by Punjab - Rahul Chahar, Vidwath Kaverappa, Atharva Taide, Harpreet Singh and Shivam Singh.

TOSS - Punjab have won the flip of the coin and they have elected to BAT first. 

Right then, given that Shubman Gill said at the toss that he would be happy to restrict Punjab anywhere between 160-170, Gujarat will be the happier of the two sides at the halfway mark. Although their batting has struggled, the visitors will be confident enough to gun down this total. The 40-run stand between Harpreet Brar and Harpreet Singh has given Punjab something to bowl at.

Strategic Break! Another match, and the same story for Punjab. A dramatic collapse again in the mid-over phase has led to all sorts of trouble for them as half of the side is into the sheds and it's not even 100 on the board. The two men in-form Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh are out in the middle and they would be aiming to provide a stronger finish for Punjab. Shubman Gill has used his spin trio to perfection which has caused the most damage to Punjab. They will be aiming to get a cou

Strategic break! Punjab will be pleased with how the Powerplay went for them. Yes, they did lose Prabhsimran Singh but he did his job and losing only one wicket has been an improvement for a side that has had their Powerplay issues. The onus is now on Rilee Rossouw and Sam Curran to build on the created platform and aim for a big score. On the other hand, Gujarat will be relieved to see the back of Prabhsimran and will now look to make a comeback in the middle phase. With the addition of Sai
