Summary

Washington Sundar finished a tense GT chase of Punjab Kings on 4 May 2026 by scooping Marcus Stoinis for six over fine leg. The 40 not out off 23 balls, with Sai Sudharsan's earlier fifty as the platform, secured the win in the final over and added another late-overs partnership masterclass to GT's IPL 2026 tactical repertoire.

What Happened

The chase had been live until the final over. Stoinis was bowling for PBKS, a senior international in a death-overs role. Sundar walked across his stumps and scooped — the most committed of all T20 finishing strokes — over fine leg for six. The match was over.

The 40 not out off 23 included two earlier boundaries and the final-over six. Sai Sudharsan's fifty earlier in the innings had been the platform; Sundar's finishing kick was the conclusion.
