With just an off day in the office against KKR, Gujarat Titans will put their target to once again reach the top of the points table against a struggling Punjab Kings. The PBKS had a horrow show in their previous game against the Sunrisers when the team ended their innings on 143 with skipper Shikhar Dhawan remaining not out on 99 after 20 overs.

Things look pretty normal for Pandya and Co. Nothing out of the ordinary is needed as the GT are touted to be favorites against a struggling PBKS. Yash Dayal will have to overcome the ‘Rinku Singh Horror’ in the upcoming game, as the team looks well and ready to take the field.
