PBKS vs GT IPL 2023: Match Prediction

Punjab Kings had only their captain Shikhar Dhawan put up a fight against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last match. After two wins, they tasted their first defeat in Hyderabad and need to come with a better batting performance.

Gujarat, on the other hand, fell into the hands of KKR’s Rinku Singh. The southpaw changed the game with five sixes in a row and sunk the Titans. It is believed Hardik Pandya, who missed the last game through illness, will be back against Punjab. The Titans have a much more balanced squad and would be aiming to shrug off the defeat and get back to winning ways.

Considering the needful, Gujarat Titans do look stronger and are tipped to get the points.
