IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Gujarat Titans vs Punjab Kings, match 48
Punjab Kings (PBKS) will have their work cut out for them when they face Gujarat Titans (GT) in their upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 group stage match on May 3 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai (Tuesday).
While GT comes into the contest after defeating the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their last match, PBKS was defeated in their previous match by another new team, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). With eight wins in nine games, GT is now in top place in the points table. If PBKS were to qualify for the play-offs, they will have to perform at their highest level.
