Punjab Kings started the day in second place but leapfrogged Gujarat Titans, who lost to Chennai Super Kings on Sunday, into top spot in the penultimate game of the regular season.
Gujarat now face a nervy wait to learn their play-off fate. If Royal Challengers Bengaluru avoid defeat against Lucknow Super Giants today, Shubman Gill’s Titans will drop out of the top two

and will have to win two knockout matches to reach the final, starting with Friday’s eliminator against fourth-place Mumbai Indians.
Chasing 185, Josh Inglis and Priyansh Arya smashed 109 runs off 59 balls for the second wicket to put Punjab Kings on course for victory before an explosive cameo from captain Shreyas Iyer (26 off 16) saw them over the line with nine balls to spare.

Inglis reached his half-century off 29 balls and top-scored with 73 (42), including nine fours and three sixes. Arya scored 62 off 35 balls.
Earlier, after being sent in to bat, Mumbai openers Ryan Rickelton (27) and Rohit Sharma (21) shared a steady 45-run partnership before regular wickets reduced the five-time champions to 106-4 in the 13th over.

However, Suryakumar Yadav, who top-scored with 57 (39), dragged them to 184-7, putting on 44 (23) with captain Hardik Pandya and 31 (17) with Naman Dhir.
