Our Prediction

Gujarat Titans has lots of depth in batting lineup but would be surely under pressure after horrifying match against KKR.
-
Shikhar Dhawan has been in prolific form for the Kings but lacks support from other players.
-
Both teams have a Good bowling lineup as both sides looks balanced in bowling department.
After scoring back-to-back wins at the start of the season, the Punjab Kings faltered at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad as they lost out to the hosts, SRH. Shikhar Dhawan will be the key batsman for the Punjab Kings here. He scored an unbeaten 99 in the last match, even as the wickets kept tumbling around him, to take his team to a respectable total. He has found a good opening partner in the form of Prabhsimran Singh, and together, the duo will be looking to put up a big opening partnership. Jitesh Sharma and Shahrukh Khan have failed to lend stability to the middle order, while the all-rounders, Sam Curran and Sikandar Raza have failed to provide the late flourish.Talking about the bowling, the seamers, Arshdeep Singh and Nathan Ellis have picked up 11 wickets between them. However, the others, including spinners Raza and Rahul Chahar, have failed to rein in the opposition.
Just like the Punjab Kings, the Gujarat Titans made a positive start to the season. Defending a mammoth target of 205, stand-in captain Rashid Khan almost assured the hosts of a victory by claiming the first hat trick of the 2023 season. However, Rinku Singh from KKR dispatched the last 5 deliveries of the match for consecutive sixes to clinch a historic victory.Nevertheless, the Titans will be looking to put that loss behind them and start afresh here. The top-order batsmen, including Shubham Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Vijay Shankar are in good form for Gujarat.The Titans have plenty of depth in their batting thanks to the presence of Hardik Pandya, Rahul Tewatia, and Rashid Khan. The seamers, Mohammad Shami and Alzarri Joseph have done an excellent job with the new ball so far, while Rashid Khan has outfoxed plenty of batsmen with his spin.
