PBKS, despite a recent setback, possess a formidable batting unit and will aim to bounce back with an improved effort with the ball.
Suryansh Shedge brings gets first SIX!!

On the next ball, Holder goes short of a length around off and Stoinis stays balanced, opens the bat face and punches it square past the sweeper for another boundary.

Nehal Wadhera OUT!!
Jos Buttler takes a sensational catch as Nehal Wadhera departs for a duck. Jason Holder bowls a back-of-a-length delivery outside off stump and Wadhera looks to push at it but gets a faint edge.

TOSS UPDATE
Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
PITCH AND CONDITIONS
Pitch No. 5 at the Narendra Modi Stadium offers a balanced surface with some assistance for both pacers and spinners. There is visible cracking, which could help seamers early with movement, while leg-spinners like Rashid Khan and Yuzvendra Chahal are expected to get turn as the game progresses.
The boundaries are slightly shorter on the leg side (64m) and longer square (70m), with 74m straight. Despite teams preferring to chase, batting first has produced better results here recently. A score around 170–180 should be competitive.
Will Shashank Singh and Xavier Bartlett play??
Xavier Bartlett is unlikely to feature against Gujarat Titans after being dropped in the previous game. Punjab Kings may continue backing Lockie Ferguson despite his expensive outing. A final call will be taken at the toss.
Shashank Singh remains doubtful for the clash after missing the last game due to a fitness concern. Even if fit, his place is not guaranteed given team balance and recent form. The decision will be confirmed at the toss.
