PBKS vs GT Match Preview
Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans will lock horns in the 37th match of the IPL 2024. The match is set to take place at PBKS’ newly built home ground Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Chandigarh.
PBKS lost the last fixture against MI and it was their 3rd defeat in a row. PBKS is now lying in the lower berth of the points table with just 2 wins in 7 matches. This will be their last match at this new home ground. The next 2 home matches will take place in Dharamsala.
In their last 4 fixtures, GT has managed to win just one match. They have dropped down on the points table. GT has won 3 out of 7 matches so far.
It will be an exciting match as both the teams need a win desperately to stay alive in the tournament and currently these two have the equal head to head record.
This will be the second meeting between PBKS and GT this season. In the first match PBKS successfully chased a target of 200 and won by 3 wickets.
Let’s take a look at the dream11 team prediction as PBKS and GT go head to head against each other for the second time this season in the IPL.

Pitch Report
The pitch here offers a balanced track with good assistance for the fast bowlers. In the last match 14 out of 15 dismissals were by the pacers. There is room to go for big shots but batters need to settle themselves before going hard on bowlers. The average innings score is around 180.
The toss winner is likely to choose bowl first and two out of four matches are won by team bowling first and the remaining two games were won by a narrow margin of less than 10 runs.
