IPL 2022, GT vs PBKS: Punjab Kings need a victory against Gujarat Titans as playoff battle heats up

Consider this: Two of their five chases this season culminated on the last ball while the rest were decided in the last over. While doing well in parts and recording a triumph augurs well for the squad's belief, what has not been on display is an all-round performance. That is something the Titans would like to change on Tuesday against the Punjab Kings at Pune's DY Patil Stadium. On the other hand, having triumphed in three out of their first five clashes, Punjab Kings have now won just one of their last four games and can least afford to put a foot wrong as the race for the playoffs heats up.

Manchester United back to winning ways with 3-0 victory over Brentford

Raphael Varane scored his first Premier League goal as Manchester United returned to winning ways with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Brentford on a night of potential farewells at Old Trafford. Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo, the latter with a penalty, also netted on Monday, which is the last home fixture of a difficult campaign for United. Juan Mata and Nemanja Matic were given starts by departing coach Ralf Rangnick in what is likely their final season with the club, while Edinson Cavani, who is also expected to leave, came off the bench. United remain in sixth place with 58 points from 36 games, five behind fourth-placed Arsenal but having played two more matches. Brentford have 40 points from 35 games and may need one more win to ensure they not dragged into a relegation fight. There had been talks fans walking out of the stadium in the 73rd minute in protest of the Glazer family having owned the club for 17 years.
