IPL 2022: Table topper Gujarat Titans will look to secure a play-offs spot as well as kill any hopes of qualification for the Punjab Kings.
PBKS are currently struggling either with the bat or the ball in every match. Last time around their bowlers did well to restrict Lucknow Super Giants to just 153 runs. But, their batsmen could not emulate the lucknow batters as they succumbed to a 20 runs defeat.
On the other hand Gujarat Titans continued their winning streak as they move one step closer to the playoffs. Rahul Tewatia and David Miller helped GT over the line vs RCB in another last over win for the leaders.

The last time Punjab Kings faced Gujarat Titans, Rahul Tewatia smashed 2 sixes off the final two balls of the game to help GT chase down 190.
Punjab Kings posted 189 on the board, thanks to Liam Livingstone’s quickfire 64 off just 27 deliveries. But, Shubman Gill played an outstanding knock off 96(59) to help GT close in on a win.
It was Punjab’s nightmare, Rahul Tewatia who smashed 12 off the last 2 balls to break the hearts of PBKS players.
GT won that match by 6 wickets.
The deck at the Dr DY Patil Stadium is a balanced one, where both the batsmen and bowlers can perform to their potential. Expect a high-scoring match tonight, just like the last time these 2 teams met. Like in the game between RR and MI, spinners are to play a vital role tonight.
