In the upcoming IPL 2024 clash, Punjab Kings (PBKS) will face off against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 4th. So far, both teams have experienced contrasting fortunes in the league. GT finds themselves comfortably positioned in the top half of the points table after securing two victories out of three matches played. Meanwhile, PBKS has struggled, languishing in the bottom half with just one win in three matches. GT boasts a net run rate of -0.738, accumulating four points, while PBKS trails with a negative net run rate of -0.337 and a total of two points. With both teams eager for a win, the match promises an intense battle on the field.

Talking of the recent outings of both teams, Gujarat secured a convincing victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets. Meanwhile, Punjab faced a setback, enduring a 21-run defeat against Lucknow Super Giants.

Gujarat, however, will be hoping for a better run of form from their captain Shubman Gill, who was the Orange Cap winner last year. The batsman has had below-par performances in the tournament so far, with scores of 31, 8, and 36. This is quite a contrast from his stellar performances last year.
