GT vs PBKS Dream 11 Predictions Key Players:
For GT
Shubman Gill: In recent times, Gill has been one of the best batters in world cricket. He is technically clean and composed batter. He gives stability in GT batting but cannot build long innings. So, he will look for a long inning at home to more support in the middle order.
S Sudharsan: As an impact substitute, he delivers his best in every game. Last match against SRH, he scored 45 runs in 36 balls. So his batting can change the impact on this match.
David Miller: He was in off form in the initial two matches, but last match, against SRH he played a blistering inning and scored 44 in 27 balls. His comeback will help Gujarat’s batting in this game.
Rahul Tewatia: Tewatia is an excellent all-rounder. He can change them in the last over with his big-hitting abilities. On their home pitch, he can pick up wickets as well. He has already changed the game in the past, so will be one of the key players for GT.
Rashid Khan: Undoubtedly, he is one of the best leg spinners in the current world of cricket. In adverse situations, he can pick up wickets and deliver economic overs. He can smash sixes with the bat during slog overs and single-handedly turn the game around.
Mohit Sharma: In the absence of Mohammed Shami, as a veteran pacer, he fulfils his job with more responsibilities. His good length bowling with variations can give dividends to GT.
For PBKS
Shikhar Dhawan: Experienced and reliable opener Dhawan can lead the team to good scores if he gets off to a good start. So, his blistering start is very vital for the PBKS. He will continue his last match form against GT.
Johnny Bairstow: Bairstow is looking for his form this year. In the last match, he displayed some old glimpses. So, he will be a factor in scoring high runs in power play. Bairstow can boost the scoring rate and relieve some of Dhawan’s burden with his aggressive batting. His performance against spin will be crucial.
Sam Curran: English all-rounder can be a factor against GT. His middle-order batting with build-up ability with smashing sixes can play a vital role. With the ball, his wicket-taking abilities with the variation of pace can be an advantage for PBKS.
Liam Livingstone: Another English all-rounder, Liam is a true hard hitter. Batters like Liam can give an advantage in this pitch. He can make an impact in all aspects of the game: batting, bowling, and fielding.
Kagiso Rabada: Rabada’s swing bowling and pace expertise might be a threat to GT’s openers. His ability to take wickets in power play may be very advantageous to Punjab.
Arshdeep Singh: In the death overs, Arshdeep’s yorkers and pace might pose a threat to GT’s batting lineup. To limit runs, his consistency will be essential.
GT vs PBKS Match 17 Pitch Report
Fast bowlers have a minor edge here. Here, the new ball seam aids in mobility, allowing bowlers to swing. As a result, batters must exercise prudence early on. The shot becomes simpler to play as the ball strikes harder.
The black-soil surface provided enough grip for the slower bowlers until the circumstances improved for batting later in the evening. This match could take place on a red-soil pitch. The choice to win the toss and bowl first is regarded favourably. This field has high scores.
