Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans will be the most competitive match between these two teams today. Although there is no gap between the players of the two teams in this match, all the teams have experienced players. But in comparison, Gujarat Titans team has won two matches and they are at number five in the points table. And Punjab Kings team is placed at 7th place, so I think the team that can perform well from the start today is likely to win.
Gujrat Titans scored a massive 199 runs in their first innings of 20 overs. Shubman Gill, who is the captain of Gujrat Titans, played a classic innings of 89 runs. He made these runs at a very good rate making this a much valuable inning for the GT. There was nothing extra ordinary from the Punjab Kings bowlers. Although Kagiso Rabada took 2 wickets in his four overs but gave away too many runs, 44 to be exact. This did not create any pressure on the Gujrat Titans batsmen and they played freely in this innings.
When the opponents have such a big score in front of them, there are likely chances that they will make mistakes and lose the match right from the start. This happened today as their captain and opener Shikhar Dhawan was out making only 1 run. He was bowled by Umesh Yadav in the 2nd over of the Punjab Kings innings.
The required rate for Punjab Kings is over 10 runs and therefore they have not only to save their wickets but keep on playing aggressively throughout the innings.
