IPL 2023: Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans (PBKS Vs GT) Dream11 Predictions | Match 18

Punjab Kings:

Punjab Kings had a disappointing last game against the Sun Risers Hyderabad. Captain Shikar Dhawan would be very disappointed with his batting unit who did not back the 99* score made by the skipper. All other batsmen fell in heaps and they looked vulnerable against quality spin and quality pace bowling. Punjab could manage only 143 and lost most of their wickets in the 20 overs in the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad. The total was easily chased by the Sun Risers Hyderabad team and Punjab Kings conceded their first defeat of the tournament. The worrying part is Punjab Kings looked all at sea in front of quality bowling and their opponent for Match No 18 is a strong bowling Gujarat Titans unit. The batting unit looks very fragile and apart from the skipper most batsmen looks out of form. The only silver lining to this situation is that Punjab Kings are playing at home and they will want their batsmen to play fearless cricket. Liam Livingstone will join the team and will be available for selection. Sam Curran needs to play a bigger role for the team both with bat and ball. Sam Curran’s contributions will determine the direction the team takes. The injury to Bhanuka Rajapaksha derailed the winning combination of the Punjab Kings and the franchise will hope that the Srilankan Star would have recovered from the injury scare which saw him miss the last game.

Arshdeep Singh has been impressive for Punjab in the powerplay overs.

Gujarat Titans:

Having Lost a match conceding 5 sixes in the last over of the game, Gujarat Titans would be still in a state of shock. This can either propel the team to play hard for the rest of the tournament or it can demoralise the team to go into a negative space.

The Gujarat Titans are on 4^th position on the points table. The Gujarat Titans are playing impressive cricket and the last loss looks an aberration to say the least. Batting has been impressive and in all the three games, different Players have taken initiative and taken the game forward. This team do not rely on individual brilliance and their victories have come on pure team contributions. Hardik Pandya who missed the last game needs to have a good day with the bat as he has been unnoticed till now. Shubman Gill is leading the batting line-up and he has een consistent. Gujarat Titans will need to win this game convincingly to remove the doubts which would have creeped in after the shocking loss against Kolkata Knight Riders. Gujarat Titans may bring changes to their bowling line-up.

IPL 2023: Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans (PBKS vs GT) – Match Predictions | Match 18

Gujarat Titans and defending champions will not get fluttered by the loss against Kolkata Knight Riders and will come hard on the Punjab Kings Team. These team is in good form and their batting looks to be in real good shape. They have a settled playing 11 while Punjab Kings may need to make some changes from their last game. Batting has not clicked and their key Players like Sam Curran needs to come to the forefront.

Gujarat Titans will be the clear favourites.
