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.

The pitch at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali is usually considered good for batting and has seen an average first-inning score of around 168 in the evening games.

The Punjab Kings had a strong squad for IPL 2022 but they eventually missed out on the playoffs after winning just seven of their 14 matches . Sam Curran addition will surely give more options to the side as he can bat anywhere in top 6. PBKS also has a pretty decent set of Indian players. Shikhar Dhawan will lead the squad as captain and as their main batter while Arshdeep Singh has now developed into India's regular T20 international. Jonny Bairstow is also set to miss the campaign for the kings and would have to find replacement for the explosive batter.Jitesh Sharma was very good with the bat and as a keeper but Shahrukh Khan or Harpreet Singh Bhatia will have to raise their game to the next level for Punjab Kings to be a batting force.

KKR suffered a massive blow in the lead-up to IPL 2023 when it found out that Shreyas Iyer is not going to be available for the majority of the season. As things stand, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, and Venkatesh Iyer seem to be locked into the playing eleven. In normal circumstances, we think KKR would have chosen one overseas bowler (probably Ferguson) and one additional overseas all-rounder (Shakib Al Hasan or David Wiese). N Jagadeesan, Shardul Thakur, Nitish Rana, Umesh Yadav, and Varun Chakravarthy will fill in the rest of the gaps for KKR. Players can step forward and make the most of the oppurtunities provided due to the circumstances.

PITCH AND CONDITIONS

There are some clouds expected on match day in Mohali but overall, the weather is not expected to play a major role. The IS Bindra Stadium is considered to be a high-scoring one. The average score batting first is 165 but the average winning total batting first is 179.

PBKS VS KKR TOSS PREDICTION

The team that wins the toss is likely to want to field first. 57% of matches have been won by the chasing team at the IS Bindra Stadium. That is a pretty big advantage to have.
