Get to Know Who will win Gujarat Titans vs Punjab Kings, IPL 2024 Match and toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, Dream11, Win Probability & winning percentage.
Gujarat Titans VS Punjab Kings on Thursday evening at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Match 17 of the 2024 Indian Premier League. The Titans have won two of three so far with Punjab Kings losing their last two in the tournament. Read on as we preview this contest. The fixture begins at 19:30 local time on April 4th.
It was a convincing win for Gujarat Titans in their last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and was much needed after their heavy defeat against Chennai Super Kings in their previous game. Playing in Ahmedabad once again, the Titans will be firm favourites.
Punjab Kings began the tournament with a strong win over Delhi Capitals but have since been comfortably beaten in successive games. This will be another tough clash for Shikhar Dhawan’s side who are up against a very strong Gujarat Titans team.
Pitch Report:
The Narendra Modi Stadium pitch is anticipated to favour the slow bowlers, mirroring its behaviour in the previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Batting is likely to become increasingly challenging as the game progresses, emphasizing batters to accumulate runs swiftly during the powerplay phase. Any score over 170 in the first innings of this game will be considered a strong total.

GT Team News
Spinner Noor Ahmad came into the side for their last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad and he delivered by picking up the big wicket of Australian opener Travis Head. We expect to see the same XI selected for this second successive home match of IPL 2024.
GT Key Players
- Sai Sudharsan - Although the left-hander has impressed in all three innings, he is yet to hit a half-century in this tournament. He scored four fours and once six against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
- Shubman Gill - The captain will be frustrated by his scores of 36, 8 and 31 so far in this campaign. However, he is striking the ball cleanly and a big score does not look far away.
- Rashid Khan - The Afghan spinner delivered the prized wicket of Heinrich Klaasen in the last fixture. He is always one of the most consistent bowlers in a game.
- Mohit Sharma - The 35 year old pace bowler dismissed Abhishek Sharma, Shahbaz Ahmed and Washington Sundar in the last match with the last two wickets coming in the 20th over.
