IPL 2023, PBKS vs GT: The 18th match of IPL 2023 was played between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans on Thursday night. In this exciting match, Gujarat won by 6 wickets with one ball remaining. Playing first, Punjab had scored 153 runs for 8 wickets. In response, Gujarat achieved the target of 154 runs in 19.5 overs by losing 4 wickets. This was Gujarat Titans’ third win this season. At the same time, despite this victory, Captain Hardik Pandya looked unhappy. He questioned the team’s batting after winning the last over.
Thrilling win in the last over
To win against Punjab Kings, Gujarat needed 6 runs in the last over. David Miller and Shubman Gill stood on the ground and their victory looked easy, but IPL’s most expensive player Sam Curran bowled accurately in the last over to save Gujarat’s life. At the same time, on the second ball, Curren bowled Shubman Gill and put Gujarat in trouble, but Rahul Tewatia, once again showing patience, hit a four on the fifth ball and gave Gujarat a thrilling 6-wicket win.
The match should not have gone till the last over: Pandya
After registering a win over Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya said, ‘I will not praise the situation we were in and win so close. We will learn a lot from this match. The beauty of the game is that it doesn’t end till the last over. We could have taken more chances in the middle overs. Mohit Sharma and Alzarri Joseph bowled well. But I am not a big fan of taking the match till the last over.
What did Shikhar Dhawan say after the second consecutive defeat
At the same time, Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan said after the second consecutive defeat, ‘We played more dot balls, we will have to pay attention to this in the upcoming matches. Proud of the bowlers that despite the small score took the match to the last over. Mohit Sharma, who returned to the IPL after a long time, took two wickets for 18 runs in four overs. He was chosen player of the match.
