Gujarat Titans vs Punjab Kings
Gujarat Titans (Match Odds- 1.70)
Preview
Even with all of its well-known players, including captain Shubman Gill, big batter David Miller of South Africa, and Afghan superspinner Rashid Khan, Sai Sudharsan and Mohit Sharma have been Gujarat Titans’ most impressive players thus far in the 2024 Indian Premier League.
Nevertheless, even though Sudharsan led his team in runs scored in each of their first three games, he has yet to hit a half-century, and his strike-rate—which is now the lowest among all players in the top 25—is cause for concern.
The recent game in Ahmedabad saw Mohit Sharma win Player of the Match, and the seasoned bowler with amazing variations will probably pose a serious danger in this match.

Punjab Kings (Match Odds- 2.15)
preview
It appears like Punjab Kings are unlikely to continue their season into the play-offs this year, continuing a trend that has seen them out of the running for the title in previous seasons. Nevertheless, they have a strong team with captain Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow leading the batting, Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran in the middle order, and two of the world’s greatest speed bowlers in T20 cricket, Arshdeep Singh and Kagiso Rabada!
In Match 6, the RCB defeated the Kings, and in Match 11, the Lucknow Super Giants defeated them as well. Any team that travels to Ahmedabad knows how difficult it can be, therefore Punjab Kings must perform at the highest level if they hope to win this match.
Full Squad:
Shikhar Dhawan (c), Matthew Short, Prabhsimran Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Sikandar Raza, Rishi Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Atharva Taide, Arshdeep Singh, Nathan Ellis, Sam Curran, Kagiso Rabada, Harpreet Brar, Rahul Chahar, Harpreet Bhatia, Vidwath Kaverappa, Shivam Singh, Harshal Patel, Chris Woakes, Ashutosh Sharma, Vishwanath Pratap Singh, Shashank Singh, Tanay Thyagarajann, Prince Choudhary, Rilee Rossouw.
Players to watch out for in:
Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan is leading the Punjab Kings batting line-up and will be the important player in the match.
Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep has been playing extraordinarily well these past few months. Arshdeep has always performed admirably when it means most, as seen by his impressive performance in the most recent Twenty20.
Possible Playing XI:
Shikhar Dhawan (c), Jonny Bairstow, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Shashank Singh, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh
Gujarat Titans vs Punjab Kings Toss Prediction:
In Ahmedabad, Gujarat Titans have won both the opening batsmanship and the first fielding position in the 2024 IPL. Before this game, we think that both teams will want to chase and, should they win the toss, will decide to bowl first.
Gujarat Titans vs Punjab Kings Pitch Report:
With cloud cover predicted for the whole day, we do not anticipate seeing much of the sun in Ahmedabad on Thursday evening. Throughout the whole game, the weather will be warm—it won’t get below 31 degrees.
Gujarat Titans vs Punjab Kings Match Report:
Punjab Kings have a team who could spring a surprise in any game but looking at the two XIs, and taking into consideration Gujarat Titans’ form at home, we are predicting another home win. The Titans have been winning games without any big individual scores and we think that could change, with something big from Shubman Gill or David Miller, in this match.
We predict Gujarat Titans to win the Gujarat Titans vs Punjab Kings match at the odds of 1.70
Gujarat Titans vs Punjab Kings Most Recommended Player for Bet:
Sudharsan led his team in runs scored in each of their first three games, he has yet to hit a half-century, and his strike-rate—which is now the lowest among all players in the top 25—is cause for concern.
