GT VS PBKS: Toss Update, Pitch Report And Predictions Of IPL Match 17

Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan has won the toss and opted to field first in Ahmedabad. In their third home game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season, Gujarat Titans are hosting Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday, April 4. GT has maintained their impressive performance since entering the league in 2022, securing two victories and suffering one defeat thus far. Both Gujarat Titans (GT) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will face off at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 4, marking the fourth match for both teams in IPL 2024.


GT has emerged victorious in both their home matches, with their lone loss occurring against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in an away fixture. Conversely, PBKS commenced their campaign with a narrow four-wicket triumph over Delhi Capitals. However, they have faced two consecutive defeats since then and are eager to regain momentum.

PBKS suffered a four-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore followed by a 21-run defeat to Lucknow Super Giants. Led by Shikhar Dhawan, the team has accumulated two points from three games in the ongoing season.

GT vs PBKS PITCH REPORT

This stadium holds the title of being the largest cricket stadium globally. Typically, it provides ample support for batsmen to clear the expansive boundaries. Pacers tend to thrive on the black-soil pitches, while spinners find opportunities on the red-soil pitches. In the recent IPL match held at this venue between GT and SRH, many Hyderabad batsmen started decently but failed to capitalize on their innings. Wriddhiman Saha (25 off 13 balls), Shubman Gill (36 off 28 balls), Sai Sudharsan (45 off 36 balls), and David Miller (44 off 27 balls) all contributed to GT’s victory.

This is what Simon Katich said about today’s pitch: “Today’s match will be played on Pitch No. 6. We were here 4 times last season and in those 4 matches three of them were won by the chasing team. So I expect that to come into play tonight at the toss. This pitch has black and red soil, a mixture of both. It’s rock hard and has 3mm of grass on it so I expect to have good pace and bounce so I expect plenty of runs tonight. GT have 8 out of 12 games here.”

GT vs PBKS Prediction

As per Google’s win probability, there is a 56% chance that GT will beat Punjab in their fourth match and move up in the points table.
