IPL 2024 updated points table, Orange Cap & Purple cap after match 36 & 37 KKR vs RCB & PBKS vs GT

Two matches were played on Super Sunday in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and both ended in the final over of the match. The first game was a nail-bitter between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Eden Gardens. It was a high-scoring game and more than 440 runs were scored.

KKR posted a big total of 222/6 in the first innings. Shreyas Iyer (50 off 36) and Phil Salt (48 off 14) were the key contributors, along with some other useful cameos. Chasing the score, RCB lost both openers within the first four overs. But after that, Will Jacks (55 off 32) and Rajat Patidar (52 off 23) added 102 runs for the third wicket.

Sunil Narine and Andre Russell picked up two wickets each, which pushed RCB behind the chase. Needing 21 runs off the final over, Karn Sharma smashed Mitchell Starc for three sixes but got out while trying the fourth. In the end, three runs were needed on the last ball, and RCB fell short by one run.

What happened during PBKS vs GT IPL 2024 match?

The second game of the day was played between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Gujarat Titans (GT) in Mullanpur, Mohali. It was a low-scoring thriller that swung both ways. Batting first, PBKS had a 52-run opening stand, but then they kept losing wickets.

As a result, they only managed a below-par target of 142 in 20 overs. GT’s Sai Kishore picked up 4/33 in the first innings. It looked like an easy chase, and GT were 97/2 at one stage, but then they lost a few quick wickets.

In the end, Rahul Tewatia played yet another brilliant knock. He scored 36 off 18 balls with seven fours to take GT to a win. With this win, they added two important points to the board, and PBKS have been pushed towards elimination.
