Gujarat Titans (GT) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will face off in a crucial match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Both teams have struggled in recent matches and will be eager to get back to winning ways.
GT, the defending champions, have won three and lost four matches so far. Their batting has been a concern, with the team failing to score big runs consistently. However, their bowling has been impressive, with the fast bowlers taking the most wickets in the tournament.
PBKS, on the other hand, have won two and lost five matches. Their batting has also been inconsistent, with the specialist batters failing to live up to expectations. However, the team has found some solace in the performances of their unsung Indian players, Shashank and Ashutosh.
The absence of skipper Shikhar Dhawan has been a blow for PBKS. The southpaw has been undergoing rehabilitation since picking up a shoulder injury and his availability for Sunday’s fixture is in doubt.
GT will be looking to bounce back from their embarrassing loss to Delhi Capitals, where they were bowled out for 89. PBKS will also be keen to get back to winning ways after their narrow defeat to Mumbai Indians.
The match promises to be a close contest between two evenly matched teams. GT will be confident of their bowling, while PBKS will hope their batting can finally click.
