PBKS vs GT Today Match Prediction, IPL 2023, Who Will Win the Match?
Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings will be favourites in this game if Hardik Pandya isn’t playing. Gujarat are coming on the back of a tough loss against Kolkata Knight Riders, that really can shake their confidence levels.
Prabhsimran Singh has looked solid so far in the tournament and Shikhar Dhawan and his opening pair will be key to the chances of PBKS. Sam Curran has blown hot and cold in the tournament so far and his performance will be vital for Punjab.
In the bowling department, Arshdeep Singh and Kagiso Rabada can be key players. The availability of Liam Livingstone too will be a big bonus for Punjab Kings.
Team Update/Players Availability/Injury News
Liam Livingstone has flown into India and will be available for selection from this game onwards. If Hardik Pandya is fit, he will automatically come into the side of Gujarat Titans.
Punjab would be hoping to get Kagiso Rabada back in the playing XI and thereby make their bowling, a lethal one.
