At their home stadium in Mohali, Punjab Kings (PBKS) will play Gujarat Titans (GT) in an attempt to claim their third win in IPL 2023. Similarly, Gujarat Titans have their eyes on the top spot in the IPL points table. If they manage to win it, it will be their third win in four matches just like in PBKS.
Hardik Pandya missed the last match due to illness but is expected to be fit and ready for the upcoming match. In the previous match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Rashid Khan led but unfortunately lost the match as KKR’s Rinku Singh hit five sixes in a row. Khan received criticism for his decision to use Yash Dayal in the final over instead of relying on more experienced players such as Mohammed Shami or even himself.

While GT might be tempted to bring in Kagiso Rabada, Nathan Ellis has done exceptionally well and could retain his place in the team. After recovering from a knee injury sustained during his Test debut in Pakistan in December 2022, Liam Livingstone has arrived in Mohali and is training diligently. He is likely to replace Matt Short in the starting lineup for this match.
PBKS vs GT pitch report
Mohali’s pitch is renowned for being a high-scoring surface due in large part to its characteristically slow pace, which enables batsmen to score runs more easily as the innings progresses. Chasing has historically been the preferred strategy with the highest chance of winning.
