In match 48 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Gujarat Titans (GT) will be up against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Tuesday.
In their previous meeting, Gujarat had beaten Punjab by six wickets courtesy of Rahul Tewatia’s late blitz when the left-handed batter smashed back-to-back sixes on the final two deliveries to help GT chase down the set total.
The Hardik Pandya-led side has only lost one game so far out of their nine matches; therefore, they are the top of the points table. On the other hand, Punjab are at the eighth position with 4 wins from 9 games.
Pitch report:
The surface at the DY Patil Stadium offers decent support to both batters and the bowlers. The dew factor will again have a say in the choices made by the captain.
