Connolly 72* steers Punjab Kings to win vs Gujarat Titans

Connolly anchored the chase with measured hitting, including five sixes, while Xavier Bartlett hit a crucial cameo of 11* off 5 balls to seal the win. The left-hander played a composed innings, stabilizing the side after Prasidh Krishna's spell of 3 for 29 threatened to derail Punjab's progress.

Earlier, Gujarat struggled to accelerate, with Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler managing 39 and 38 respectively. Prabhsimran Singh provided a brisk start with 37, but the Titans never found their rhythm on a tricky surface.
