IPL 2022: Picks for the match between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans

 

Punjab Kings will lock horns against Gujarat Titans in the 16th match of the Indian Premier League 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai on Friday. Punjab have won two out of their three matches whereas Gujarat Titans have won both of their games so far in the tournament and both of these teams will look to continue the good show.

We take a look at Picks for the match between Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings. We will look at head-to-head records, stats, and players to look out for in the upcoming match.

Gujarat Titans will be delighted that they have been able to hit the ground running in their maiden season. As they are a new team, it is never easy to straight away find one’s mojo but they have been terrific so far. The Titans have come up with a collective effort and they have shown the promise to go a long way in the tournament.

However, they would want more from Matthew Wade, Vijay Shankar, and Hardik Pandya, the batter. Their bowling has been right on the money as they had defended 171 runs against Delhi Capitals in their last game.

On the other hand, Punjab Kings will want their skipper Mayank Agarwal to get among the runs. Furthermore, their middle order will need to bat with more onus.

Head to Head: This is the first time when these two teams will face each other in the IPL.

Players to watch out for: Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan, Odeon Smith, Shahrukh Khan, Liam Livingstone, and Arshdeep Singh will be the key players for PBKS.

Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, Matthew Wade, Mohammed Shami, Rashid Khan, and Lockie Ferguson will hold the key for GT.

PBKS Predicted Playing XI: Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal (c), Bhanuka Rajapaksa (WK), Liam Livingstone, Raj Bawa, Shahrukh Khan, Odean Smith, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh, Harpreet Brar, Sandeep Sharma.

Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill, Matthew Wade (wk), Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya, Abhinav Manohar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Shami, Lockie Ferguson, Varun Aaron.
