Punjab Kings (PBKS) lost to Mumbai Indians by eight runs in a heartbreaking fashion in the last game. Ashutosh Sharma and Harpreet Brar fought well until the end but couldn't take the team home. The only solace the home team will have is the fact that the last time these two teams met, the Punjab-based team had won the game.
Gujarat Titans (GT) and Shubman Gill have had to endure a bad start to the post-Hardik Pandya era. Gujarat Titans were crushed by Delhi Capitals in the last game, bowled out for their lowest-ever total in the IPL. With the batting and bowling struggling, Gill and his team need inspiration to make a comeback into the season.

Pitch report
Chasing has been difficult at this venue, with the pitch starting to play tricks. It would be advisable for the skipper winning the toss to bat first and put a huge score on the board. The pacers will get help with the new ball, while the spinners will show their skills once the ball gets old. The small nature of the boundary means that there will be fours and sixes galore for the fans to enjoy.
