GT vs PBKS Team Previews

Gujarat Titans

The Gujarat Titans come to this contest on the back of consecutive wins and have jumped up to fifth place on the points table. With the race for the playoffs tightening up, the team is unlikely to let its guard down and will look to win here.

Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill have been excellent at the top of the order and have given the Gujarat Titans some solid starts. Gill is the leading run-scorer for his team and appears to be in especially good touch.

Jos Buttler is a dependable performer in the number three slot and has played well throughout the season. It is the middle order that could be a concern for the Titans. Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, and Washington Sundar haven’t been in the best of form, and the team will need them to do better.

The addition of Jason Holder has been fantastic for GT in all department, though.

Coming to the bowling, Kagiso Rabada remains the key for the team and is their leading wicket-taker with 14 wickets. He will be supported by Mohammed Siraj and Arshad Khan. Rashid Khan bowled an excellent spell in the previous match and will continue to lead the spin department.

Gujarat Titans Expected Playing 11

Shubman Gill (C), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (WK), Jason Holder, Shahrukh Khan, Washington Sundar, Arshad Khan, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, Manav Suthar

Impact Player: Rahul Tewatia / Glenn Phillips

Punjab Kings

After enjoying a perfect start to their campaign, the Punjab Kings faced their first defeat of the season on Tuesday, when they lost against the Rajasthan Royals. Nevertheless, they remain at the top of the points table and will look to retain their position by winning this match.

Punjab’s batting has been top-notch this season, powered by some excellent performances by the top and middle-order batsmen. Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya have been consistent as an opening pair and have given Punjab some brisk starts this year.

Prabhsimran Singh is the team’s leading run-scorer, and Punjab will hope that he keeps playing well going ahead. The contest between the opening pair and the GT bowlers could be decisive.

Skipper Shreyas Iyer has scored four half-centuries in seven innings and remains a vital cog in the middle order. He will be joined by Cooper Connolly. Marcus Stoinis scored an impressive half-century in the previous match and will retain his place as an all-rounder along with Marco Jansen.

The bowling is one area where Punjab would like to improve as we approach the second half of the tournament. Arshdeep Singh, Xavier Bartlett, and Vijaykumar Vyshak have all conceded more than 10 runs per over and have struggled to rein in the opposition batsmen. In the spin department, Yuzvendra Chahal has bowled well in patches and has picked up 7 wickets so far.

Punjab Kings Expected Playing 11

Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh (WK), Shreyas Iyer (C), Cooper Connolly, Suryansh Shedge, Nehal Wadhera, Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansen, Arshdeep Singh, Xavier Bartlett, Yuzvendra Chahal

Impact Player: Harpreet Brar / Vijaykumar Vyshak

GT vs PBKS Toss Prediction

In seven of the last 10 games played here, the team winning the toss opted to bowl first, and we expect that trend to continue.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at Ahmedabad hasn’t been the easiest to bat on, especially when compared to some of the other venues in this tournament. The average first-inning score here this season is around 190. The last two matches played here saw an aggregate of around 300 runs, which is less compared to the other matches we have seen in the tournament.

There is an even covering of grass on the surface, and seamers can expect movement off the seam when the ball is new. The batsmen need to wait for the right balls to play their shots.

The weather is expected to remain clear with temperatures over 32 degrees. There will be some dew on the ground as the match progresses.

GT vs PBKS : Who Will Win?

Both teams have played well this season, and we can expect a close contest on Monday. While it is difficult to pick a winner, we are backing the Gujarat Titans to win here. Their bowlers appear to be doing better in comparison to Punjab, and that might be the deciding factor here.

Bet on Gujarat Titans to win.
