IPL 2024 – Match 37, PBKS vs GT Match Prediction: Who Will Win Today’s Match?

The 37th match of the Indian Premier League, 2024 will be played between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans at Mullanpur on April 20, Sunday.

Both teams are languishing at the bottom half of the points table. While Punjab Kings have managed to win just two games out of the seven matches they have played so far, occupying the ninth position in the points table, Gujarat Titans are no better, having won three out of the seven matches they have played in the tournament.

Both of these teams do not have much time and have to bounce back stronger after their poor performance in the tournament so far.

What to Expect?

This will be the second meeting in this tournament. The last time these two teams faced each other at Narendra Modi Stadium, it was Punjab Kings who snatched the victory by three wickets in the highest-scoring thriller. Heading into this game, the Shubman Gill-led team will be eager to take revenge for that defeat.

PBKS vs GT Toss Prediction

History suggests that the team winning the toss and choosing to bowl first has always had an edge here compared to the team bowling first, so the team winning the toss should look to bowl first.

PBKS vs GT Strengths and Weaknesses

PBKS Strengths

Currently, their big strength is their dynamic duo of Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma, who have looked in great touch so far in the tournament. They have taken responsibility for the entire team’s batting in the last two matches.

PBKS Weaknesses

Their top order is a big concern currently with Shikhar Seven not playing due to injury, and the likes of Prabhsimran Singh, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, and even Sam Curran, the stand-in captain, have failed to take responsibility and play responsibly in this tournament so far.
GT Strengths

The biggest strength of Gujarat Titans currently lies in their bowling, with Noor Ahmed, Rashid Khan, and Mohit Sharma being the backbone of their bowling attack.
GT Weaknesses

The lack of support in the batting department is the biggest weakness of Gujarat Titans. Currently, with only captain Shubman Gill taking up the responsibility, the likes of David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, and others need to step up as well.

Conclusion

Punjab Kings are completely aware of the conditions at this pitch. With more firepower in their bowling lineup, they will be the clear favorites heading into this game.
