Table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) take on qualifying hopeful Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai. Both teams have had a contrasting season so far in the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
On one hand, we have the Titans, who are flying high with eight wins from nine games and won against a strong Delhi Capitals side in their last game. On the other hand, Punjab Kings who have won only two out of their last six games.
GT have tried to stick with the combination and back their playing XI all the way. This confidence has helped them a lot in their matches with everyone chipping in with telling contributions whenever needed.
PBKS, meanwhile, are still yet to find form even though they have the right personnel for the team. Their inconsistent form is the reason why they are in the middle of the standings but still in contention for the playoffs.
