Talking about the entire action of the match, the hosts’ Gujarat Titans were asked to bat first after losing the toss. The star opening pair of Wriddhiman Saha and young batter Shubman Gill provided an outstanding opening start of 142 runs for the first wicket in just 12.1 overs. Saha and Gill played the swashbuckling knocks of 81 and 94 runs off just 43 and 51 balls respectively. On the back of these knocks, Gujarat posted a big total of 227 runs for the loss of four wickets in the allotted 20 overs.

While defending the target, the bowling attack of GT led by the veteran pacer Mohit Sharma restricted LSG to the score of only 171 runs by scalping seven wickets in the 20 overs. Mohit Sharma himself took the charge with brilliant bowling and scalped 4 wickets conceding only 29 runs in his quota of four overs. Eventually, Hardik Pandya’s men won the match by a big margin of 56 runs to keep their winning momentum in the tournament.
