Yesterday’s match was truly thrilling; it was a lot of fun to watch! GT won the toss and chose to field first. In the first innings, Punjab scored 243 runs. In the second innings, PBKS put on an excellent bowling performance, taking GT’s wickets and securing the victory for themselves.
PBKS’s players who performed well yesterday.
In yesterday’s match, Punjab batted first, and Shreyas Iyer delivered an outstanding performance. Shreyas scored 97 runs, taking his team’s total to 243. The only disappointment was that he couldn’t complete his century, which was truly disheartening. He sacrificed his century for the team.
Towards the end, Shashank Singh also contributed significantly with his fours and sixes, boosting the team’s total beyond expectations.
Another name that must be mentioned is Priyansh Arya, who made his debut in yesterday’s match. In his very first game, he played a brilliant knock of 47 runs against top-class bowlers.
As for the bowling, Arshdeep Singh, Chahal, and Glenn Maxwell all performed well and took crucial wickets for their team.
Why did Gujarat lose in yesterday’s match?
In yesterday’s match, Gujarat made two major mistakes.
The first mistake was failing to dismiss Shashank Singh and Shreyas Iyer in the final overs of the first innings. This proved very costly for Gujarat, as the runs scored in the last over became the margin of victory for Punjab.
The second mistake was in batting—except for Sudharsan and Buttler, no one batted properly, which led to their team’s defeat. At the start of the match, everything seemed to be going well when Shubman Gill and Sudharsan were attacking. However, once Shubman Gill got out, the entire team started collapsing gradually. The only standout performances in batting came from Sudharsan and Buttler.
Conclusion
Yesterday, GT’s team lost, while PBKS secured 2 points in the points table. They won yesterday’s match, but if GT’s batsmen had scored a bit more towards the end, things could have been different. However, one over from Vishak Vijay Kumar completely turned the game, as the batter couldn’t play his deliveries properly, resulting in too many dot balls.
Due to this, GT ran out of balls and ended up losing by just 11 runs. These runs could have been achieved, but it wasn’t their day. Best wishes to GT for the next match, and congratulations to Shreyas Iyer!
