Connolly's 72* powers Punjab Kings to nervy IPL win over Gujarat Titans

Cooper Connolly's unbeaten 72 guided Punjab Kings to a three-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans in a tense IPL chase at Mohali.

Connolly anchored the innings with 44 balls, while Prabhsimran Singh provided early fireworks with 37. Prasidh Krishna's 3 for 29 threatened to derail the chase, but Xavier Bartlett's 11 off 5 balls in the final overs secured the win.

Gujarat's Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler contributed fluent fifties but couldn't stop the late collapse.
