Check IPL 2022 Updated Points Table, Orange Cap & Purple Cap after PBKS vs GT

Gujarat Titans batter Rahul Tewatia struck two sixes on the last two deliveries of the match off Odean Smith to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against Punjab Kings in a thrilling encounter of the IPL 2022 here on Friday.

With 12 needed off the last two balls, Tewatia blasted two sixes at the Brabourne Stadium here to seal a six-wicket win for the Titans.

Gujarat will also have to thank opener Shubman Gill (96 – 59b, 11×4, 1×6), Sai Sudharshan (35 – 30b, 4×4, 1×6) and Pandya (27 – 18b, 5×4) for putting them in a position where they could chase Punjab Kings’ 189/9 reached thanks to a 27-ball 64 by Liam Livingstone, who struck his second successive half-century.

Meanwhile, the victory against PBKS means that GT are still unbeaten in the tournament and they are currently second in the IPL 2022 points table with six points from 3 matches. KKR are at top of the tally due to the better run rate than Gujarat.

Notably, PBKS are sixth in the points table having won two of their four games so far.
