4th April, 2024, 20:00 (Indian Standard Time)
Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings are going head to head in the Match 17 of Indian Premier League at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, India on 4th April, 2024. GT has won both the games at home so far. Who will win this game of cricket?
Gujarat Titans form
Despite having well-known players like skipper Shubman Gill, South African batsman David Miller, and Afghan spinner Rashid Khan on their team, Gujarat Titans have been boosted by the outstanding performances of Sai Sudharsan and Mohit Sharma in the 2024 IPL. Sudharsan has been the top run-scorer for the team in the first three matches, although he has yet to reach a half-century and his strike-rate is a concern. Meanwhile, Sharma, who was awarded Player of the Match in the last game, is expected to be a formidable opponent in the upcoming match with his expert variations.
Gujarat Titans Predicted Lineup
Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Vijay Shanka, David Miller, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Umesh Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Noor Ahmad
Punjab Kings form
Over the recent seasons, Punjab Kings have not been able to qualify for the play-offs, and it seems unlikely that they will extend their season into the play-offs this campaign. However, the team boasts quality players such as captain Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Arshdeep Singh, and Kagiso Rabada, who are all instrumental in their respective roles. The team faced defeats against RCB in Match 6 and Lucknow Super Giants in Match 11. Travelling to Ahmedabad presents a tough challenge for any team, and Punjab Kings will have to perform at their peak to have a shot at winning the upcoming clash.
Punjab Kings Predicted Lineup
Shikhar Dhawan (c), Jonny Bairstow, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Shashank Singh, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh
