New Delhi, India

Match 37 of the IPL 2024 edition saw Punjab Kings (PBKS) host Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh on Sunday evening (April 21). Defending 143, Punjab put up a good fight but eventually lost by three wickets in the final over to remain in the ninth spot. Shubman Gill-led GT, meanwhile, climbed up the ladder to occupy the sixth spot with eight points. During the game, there were a lot of twists and turns as the momentum kept shifting from one side to the other before Gujarat emerged on top.

During GT's run-chase, Gill was going to be the most-prized scalp for Sam Curran-led Punjab. The right-hander got a start and was looking set to take his side home. However, Liam Livingstone removed Gill for 35 (29) and was on cloud nine. Here is the video of Gill's dismissal which led to an aggressive celebration from the Englishman.

Livingstone, who was introduced into the attack after the powerplays, did a fine job with the ball. He ended his full quota of overs with 4-0-19-2, also getting rid of dangerman David Miller. However, Rahul Tewatia's 18-ball 36* took Gujarat past the finish line on the first ball of the final over. From Punjab, Harshal Patel, who ended with 3-0-15-3, kept chipping in with wickets at regular intervals in the end overs. However, it wasn't enough to ensure a win for Punjab.

Earlier, Punjab only managed 142 -- with Sai Kishore chipping in with 4 for 33 -- thanks to Prabhsimran Singh's 35 and Harpreet Brar's 29. With this, Punjab have now lost six games out of eight matches played and are in the ninth spot in the points table. They will next face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Friday evening (April 26).
