The Gujarat Lions dominate the points table with eight wins in nine games, while the Punjab Kings are in seventh place with four wins in nine games. GT defeated RCB in a thrilling match in their previous match, while PBKS failed to chase down a low target against LSG.
Shubman Gill failed to score quickly following his 96-run performance against the Punjab Kings. Hardik Pandya has failed in back-to-back matches, but he remains the key batsman in the middle order for the Gujarat Titans. Finishers Rahul Tewatia and David Miller are doing their jobs well. Rashid Khan is batting at number seven, which is high for him.
M Shami is unplayable with the new ball, and he took eight wickets in the powerplay at a 6.74 economy rate. In middle overs, Lockie Ferguson and Rashid Khan had a 7.5 economy. GT bowled well in the death overs, with an economy rate of 8.76, which was better than the other nine teams.
The Punjab Kings’ batting line is filled with hard hitters. Skipper Mayank Agarwal isn’t contributing with the bat this season. PBKS lost 69 wickets this season, the most of any team. They are struggling with the bat, and they lack consistency.
All the Punjab Kings bowlers could not take wickets except Rabada and Rahul Chahar. They took only 47 wickets, which is the least in the tournament. Arshdeep Singh is bowling well in the death overs but cannot take wickets.
The Gujarat Titans are winning the matches, and they won’t change the winning combination. Yash Dayal can replace Pradeep Sangwan if he is fit to play. No changes are expected in the Punjab line-up.
