Connolly's 72 Guides Punjab Kings to Nervous IPL Win Over Gujarat Titans

Punjab Kings secured a nerve-wracking three-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans in the IPL, with Cooper Connolly scoring an unbeaten 72 to guide the chase.

Prabhsimran Singh provided early impetus with 37 before Prasidh Krishna’s 3 for 29 threatened to derail Punjab. Connolly remained composed, while Xavier Bartlett’s late cameo swung the momentum. Gujarat, despite starts from Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler, failed to accelerate, ultimately falling short in a low-scoring thriller.
