PBKS vs GT: Match Preview
The team of Gujarat Titans is playing IPL for the first time and this champion team has been seen from the very first match. Under the captaincy of Rockstar all-rounder Hardik Pandya, this team has almost qualified for the playoffs after registering victories against the legendary teams. But it is said that till the competition is not over, the habit of winning should be maintained.
In today’s match against Punjab, the team management of Gujarat can give a chance to some players who have not got the opportunity to play till now. .
For Punjab, including captain Mayank Agarwal, bowlers like star batsman Shikhar Dhawan, all-rounder Liam Livingston, and Kagiso Rabada will have to put their whole lives. The team has to show a balanced game. The problem with the Punjab team is that when its bowlers show amazing and the batsmen fail.
When good runs come off the bat, the performance of the bowlers remains disappointing. In such a situation, the performance of the entire team will matter. Punjab bowlers performed well in the last match.
