GT vs PBKS Who will win?
Gujarat Titans have been on a different run at home, winning 11 out of 17 games with two already this season in as many matches. The likes of Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill have provided a good start so far, well supported by Sai Sudharsan and David Miller in the middle. Mohit Sharma has been sensational for them, having taken 5 wickets from two games at Ahmedabad. They also have the services of Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed who sync well for them when needed.
As for Punjab Kings, their batting has been a concern so far, contributing in pieces. Although Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow looked in touch last game, the form of Jitesh and Liam Livingstone has been a concern for them. Rahul Chahar in the spin department looks ineffective so far, and with the pitch at Ahmedabad expected to be sluggish, the team will look to him to get back in form.
With GT playing at home and having current form on their side, they are expected to thrash PBKS to secure another win on Thursday.
