GT vs PBKS Fantasy Cricket Tips

Gujarat Titans Heavy Fantasy XI

  • Sai Sudharsan has been in form for the Titans, and he will once again be an important pick from the GT batters. The GT skipper, Shubman Gill, has not been in the best of forms, but given the rhythm he showed in the last game, this might turn out to be his day. 
  • Mohit Sharma has enjoyed himself on this wicket and will again be a key for the match. Alongside Mohit, you can opt for GT spinners like Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad. 

Punjab Kings Heavy Fantasy XI

  • The PBKS skipper has been in good form in this tournament. He has scored 137 runs in three innings and given the nature of the wicket, Dhawan will be a key pick. Jitesh Sharma with his steady batting style and technique looks like the other important pick from the PBKS batters. 
  • The wicket will suit Sam Curran's school of bowling and hence he could be a decisive choice. Alongside Curran, Harpreet Brar, who has been doing pretty well in the tournament could earn you important points in the match. 

GT vs PBKS Winner Prediction

GT have the winning momentum with them and much like the last two seasons are looking like a solid unit. On the other hand, PBKS look confused and disoriented like most of the other season. Given the current form and the potential of the two teams, the home team should win the match. 


GT vs PBKS Top Player Picks

B Sai Sudharsan has been the batter in-form for GT in IPL 2024 [iplt20.com]B Sai Sudharsan has been the batter in-form for GT in IPL 2024 [iplt20.com]

B Sai Sudharsan (GT)

  • IPL 2024 Stats: 127 Runs in 3 Matches
  • The young Indian batter has been the team's biggest asset in the batting department so far. Sai Sudharsan has been consistent and has provided solidity to the GT top-order. Sai Sudharsan will be a must-pick for the game in his current form. 

Mohit Sharma (GT)

  • IPL 2024 Stats: 6 Wickets in 3 Matches
  • The experienced Indian pacer has been a trump card for GT since last season. Mohit Sharma has been in wicket-taking form in IPL 2024 and enjoys the wicket at the Narendra Modi Stadium. These two facts combine to make Sharma a prime pick for this game. 

Shikhar Dhawan (PBKS)

  • IPL 2024 Stats: 137 Runs in 3 Matches
  • Shikhar Dhawan has been his steady self in IPL 2024 so far. He is scoring runs consistently and is a mainstay of the PBKS batting. Dhawan's current form makes him one of the prime choices for this match. 

Sam Curran (PBKS)

  • IPL 2024 Stats: 86 Runs and 4 Wickets in 3 Matches
  • The English all-rounder has been on and off with his form in the tournament. Although he has shown glimpses of his potential in both the trades Sam Curran has lacked consistency. But the way the wicket at the Narendra Modi Stadium has behaved in the previous two matches might suit Curran as a bowler. He can be more eiffcient as a bowler in this game making him an important pick for the fantasy contests. 


GT vs PBKS Differential Picks

Shubman Gill (GT)

  • IPL 2024 Stats: 75 Runs in 3 Matches
  • The GT skipper has lacked form in this tournament. Though Shubman Gill has looked in rhythm, he has been unable to conevrt his starts. His lack of big scores makes him a risky choice, but his rhythm with the bat makes him a worthy of the risk. 

Jitesh Sharma with his steady technique could be an important pick for the game [iplt20.com]Jitesh Sharma with his steady technique could be an important pick for the game [iplt20.com]

Jitesh Sharma (PBKS)

  • IPL 2024 Stats: 42 Runs in 3 Matches
  • The Indian wicketkeeper has struggled to get going in IPL 2024 so far. However, given the kind of batters PBKS have, Jitesh Sharma might have to play an important role in this game at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Thus, he could be a decisive pick in the fantasy contests.
