IPL 2022: GT vs PBKS, Match 48: Pitch Report, Probable XI and Match Prediction

In match 48 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Gujarat Titans (GT) will be up against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Tuesday.

In their previous meeting, Gujarat had beaten Punjab by six wickets courtesy of Rahul Tewatia’s late blitz when the left-handed batter smashed back-to-back sixes on the final two deliveries to help GT chase down the set total.

The Hardik Pandya-led side has only lost one game so far out of their nine matches; therefore, they are the top of the points table. On the other hand, Punjab are at the eighth position with 4 wins from 9 games.

Pitch report:

The surface at the DY Patil Stadium offers decent support to both batters and the bowlers. The dew factor will again have a say in the choices made by the captain.

Head-to-head record:

Played: 01 | GT won: 01 | PBKS won: 0 | No result: 0

Gujarat Titans: Shubhman Gill, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Sai Sudarshan, Hardik Pandya (c), David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Alzarri Joseph, Lockie Ferguson, Mohammed Shami, Yash Dayal
