Gujarat Titans (GT) spinners, led by R Sai Kishore, foxed an ill-equipped Punjab Kings batting line-up to dismiss the hosts for 142 here on Sunday. Punjab, who have been among the worst-performing batting teams in the Powerplay this season, made a brisk start to reach 45 for no loss in five overs.

However, their innings went downhill thereafter as the spin trio of Sai Kishore (4-33), Rashid Khan (1-15) and Noor Ahmed (2-20) exposed the opposition with their guile. Struggling up till now, Prabhsimran Singh (35 off 21) found some much-needed rhythm before he fell in the sixth over, triggering a dramatic collapse. At the time of going to press, GT were 65-1 in nine overs.
