Recent Performance：

• PBKS:W L L W L

Gujarat Titans (GT) enter this clash with a mixed recent record (L, L, W, A, A), struggling for consistency but boasting a strong historical edge over Punjab Kings (PBKS), having won 3 of their last 5 meetings. PBKS (W, L, L, W, L), meanwhile, are unpredictable but fresh off a win, which could inject momentum. The Narendra Modi Stadium, known for high-scoring games, favors aggressive batting, but dew in night games might challenge bowlers.

• GT won by 6 wickets (with 1 ball remaining)
• PBKS won by 8 wickets (with 24 balls remaining)
• GT won by 6 wickets (with 0 balls remaining)

GT’s recent dominance (3 wins in 5 games) suggests tactical superiority. Close finishes in past encounters (e.g., 1-ball thrillers) highlight their composure under pressure. PBKS, however, won the last meeting narrowly, proving they can upset GT’s rhythm.

Gujarat Titans Squad:

Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Glenn Phillips, Kumar Kushagra, Anuj Rawat, Jos Buttler, Rashid Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh Khan, Nishant Sindhu, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Gerald Coetzee, Jayant Yadav, Arshad Khan, Karim Janat, Sherfane Rutherford, Mahipal Lomror, Washington Sundar, Manav Suthar, Gurnoor Brar, Ishant Sharma, Kagiso Rabada, Prasidh Krishna, Kulwant Khejroliya, Mohammed Siraj

Prediction

GT’s balanced squad, home advantage, and superior head-to-head record make them slight favorites. However, PBKS’s firepower, especially if Pooran/Pant fire, could flip the script. Expect a high-scoring thriller with GT clinching victory by 15-20 runs or 2 wickets in a last-over finish.

Verdict: Gujarat Titans to win, but Punjab Kings will push them to the limit.
