Teams Status

Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans have taken to the IPL like a duck to water, winning both of their opening two fixtures.

Their first win was against fellow newbies Lucknow Super Giants and the second one came at the expense of uber experienced Delhi Capitals.

Across the first two games, most of their batters have found runs, except for Vijay Shankar, who struggled on both his outings.

On the bowlin front, Lockie Ferguson has been excellent, claiming a four-for once and conceding just 24 in the other game.

Punjab Kings

Tipped by many to be a major force in this year’s IPL, Punjab Kings have two wins bookending a defeat after their first three games.

The loss to Kolkata Knight Riders aside, Punjab Kings have been impressive, beating top sides such as Royal Challengers Bangalore and more recently Chennai Super Kings.

In their last game, a win over CSK, their expensive English import Liam Livingstone finally paid off, smashing a 32-ball 60 to power his side to 180 for 8.

He then chipped in with two wickets as well as the Kings thrashed the defending champions by 54 runs.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Punjab Kings to win @ 1.83

Gujarat have had their fun but truth be told Punjab are a better and stronger unit pound for pound. It’d be very surprising if Gujarat make it three wins out of three at the end of this game. Punjab’s firepower and muscle should prove enough. The odds have been sourced from Sportsbet.

Tip: Shikhar Dhawan to score 50 – Yes @ 3.20

Punjab Kings’ Shikhar Dhawan absolutely loves it against Mohammad Shami, who represents Gujarat Titans. In the three games so far in this IPL, Dhawan has had his starts but has yet to score a half century. This seems to be like the perfect opportunity for him to do so. The odds for this play have been sourced from Parimatch.

Conclusion

Don’t be fooled by Gujarat’s unbeaten status and Punjab’s record stained by a defeat. Gujarat’s record is only two-match deep and anyone can lose a game a la Punjab, who should take this.
