Washington Sundar showed nerves of steel to power Gujarat Titans home in a nervy win over Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 3. Sundar played an unbeaten 40-run knock to help the Titans hunt down 164 in a four-wicket win on the second last ball of the clash.
The hosts lost wickets in a flurry and it all came down to 11 needed off the final over as Arshad Khan farmed the strike with Sundar at the other end. He hit a four off a yorker against Marcus Stoinis on the second ball before a brace and a single brought Sundar back.ย
With three needed from the final two balls, Sundar went for a scoop on the full toss for a six over fine leg to win it for the GT, who have now bagged their third straight win to put their challenge for the playoffs. Meanwhile, this was PBKS’ second straight loss of the season, after going down to Rajasthan Royals previously.
