Gujarat Titans won the toss against Punjab Kings and decided to bat first — becoming the first team to do so in a night game in this edition of the Indian Premier League. But the move didn’t pay off as Punjab Kings rode on Kagiso Rabada’s four for 33 and Shikhar Dhawan’s unbeaten 62 (53b, 8x4, 1x6) to beat Titans by eight wickets at the D.Y. Patil Stadium on Tuesday.
After Rabada restricted Titans to 143 for eight, despite an unbeaten 65 by B. Sai Sudharsan, Punjab Kings lost its opener Jonny Bairstow early.
