Punjab Kings aim for better batting performance
- Punjab Kings’ brittle batting in focus against string Gujarat Titans bowling attack
- Shubman Gill’s form a concern for GT
Gujarat Titans have lost just the one game so far and have found match-winning performers in each game. They have odds of 1.79 to win this match against Punjab Kings, who are yet to find their top gear this season. GT are at the top of the table and all set to make it to the playoffs in their first ever appearance.

Punjab Kings, meanwhile, have odds of 2.00 to beat Gujarat Titans, an unlikely proposition given how their season has gone so far. Punjab Kings have been underwhelming despite being a top rated team after the auction. They have only four wins in nine matches so far.
What happened earlier in the season
Earlier in the season Gujarat Titans beat Punjab Kings by six wickets with Shubman Gill’s 96 paving the way for an easy run chase. However, notably, Punjab compiled 190 with the bat in the first innings to test Gujarat’s batting depth and it’s something they could try again this time.
Gujarat Titans have been the strongest team this season and are favourites to win this battle.

The contest will likely be decided by how Punjab Kings’ batting fares against one of the best bowling attacks in the tournament. Lockie Ferguson, Rashid Khan and Mohammed Shami form a formidable trio with Alzarri Joseph and Yash Dayal as the other two options. They also have Hardik Pandya to bank upon.
Keep an eye on…
Shubman Gill: After a promising start to the season, Shubman Gill’s returns have dwindled down and Gujarat will hope that he finds his feet as the season edges closer to a finish.
Punjab Kings’ hitters: With a series of big hitters in the team, Punjab Kings pack so much power in their batting line-up and will bank on this to outdo the Gujarat bowling attack.
TIP: Alzarri Joseph has bowled upwards of 150kph this season. Back Alzarri Joseph at 4.32 to be the top match bowler!
