Rahul Tewatia contributed 11 runs in 10 balls, including a boundary. Meanwhile, PBKS bowler Vijaykumar Vyshak delivered a slower bouncer to Tewatita. He lofted it and was caught. But due to a hieght, it was granted a wide, and Tewatia survived.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain Shreyas Iyer reviewed the call. The third umpire took an unusually long time—roughly 5 minutes—to confirm the decision. : Before checking the height, the third umpire had to confirm the ball passed within the horizontal "wide" guidelines.

There were reported technical difficulties with the ball-tracking system during this process. However, the decision went in favour of Tewtia.

Gujarat Titans posted a competitive 162/6 in 20 overs, though the innings never truly exploded despite solid starts from the top order. After Sai Sudharsan’s brisk 13, skipper Shubman Gill anchored the powerplay with a fluent 39 off 27, laced with six boundaries. Jos Buttler then added 38 off 33, mixing caution with occasional aggression, while Glenn Phillips injected momentum with a quick 25 off 17 to push GT past the 100-run mark.

However, Punjab Kings clawed back brilliantly in the middle and death overs. Vijaykumar Vyshak was the game-changer, finishing with 3/34, removing Phillips, Washington Sundar, and Shahrukh Khan at crucial stages. Yuzvendra Chahal’s 2/28 also hurt GT’s progress, especially with the wickets of Gill and Buttler. Marco Jansen remained the most economical with 1/20 from four overs.

GT’s total was boosted by 14 extras, including 11 wides, largely thanks to Arshdeep Singh’s erratic spell. In the end, the Titans had a fighting score, but one they may feel was 15-20 runs short.
