Gujarat Titans (GT) meet Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match number 17 of IPL 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday, April 4. GT have two wins and a loss in three games, while PBKS have won only one of their three games.
Gujarat Titans got the better of SunRisers Hyderabad by seven wickets in their previous clash in Ahmedabad. Seasoned pacer Mohit Sharma stood out with the ball, claiming 3-25 as Gujarat restricted Hyderabad to 162-8. Sai Sudharsan (45 off 36) and David Miller (44* off 27) then starred in the chase as GT eased home to a thumping win.
Punjab Kings, meanwhile, came up with a disappointing performance in their last game with Lucknow Super Giants. They fielded first and allowed LSG to post 199-8 even as Sam Curran claimed 3-28. In their chase, Punjab openers added 102, but Mayank Yadav's sensational spell ensured victory for Lucknow by 21 runs.
