PBKS vs GT Live Score IPL 2026: Punjab Kings Win Tense Chase in Mullanpur

The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium is witnessing a nail-biting finish as the Punjab Kings (PBKS) look to chase down 163 against the Gujarat Titans (GT). While PBKS seemed to be cruising at one stage, a middle-order collapse triggered by Prasidh Krishna has turned this into a classic IPL thriller.

The Connolly Show: A Debut to Remember
The story of the night is 22-year-old Australian Cooper Connolly. Making his IPL debut, Connolly showed no nerves as he smashed a brilliant 62 off 40 balls, including 3 fours and 5 massive sixes. His 103-meter strike over deep point was the highlight of the evening, keeping the required rate well under control for most of the innings.

Prasidh Krishna’s Triple Strike Ignites GT Hopes
Just as Punjab looked set for a comfortable win, Prasidh Krishna produced a magical spell. In the space of just two overs, he removed:

Shashank Singh (4): Caught behind by Jos Buttler.

Marcus Stoinis (0): Ramped a short ball straight to Rashid Khan at third man.

Nehal Wadhera (3): Caught by Shubman Gill at cover.

From 108/2, Punjab slipped to 121/6, bringing Gujarat right back into the contest.

The Equation: Down to the Wire
With 17 runs needed off the last 13 balls, the game is on a knife-edge. Marco Jansen has kept PBKS in it with a huge six off Prasidh, but Gujarat’s bowlers are making every run a struggle.
