Punjab Kings

The tentative factor for Punjab will be their batting lineup as their middle didn't fire up in the last game. Though their other two games both their openers and middle order scored well. Shikhar Dhawan is in a good form, which will be their plus point in the match. Their bowling will mostly depend on Sam Curran and Arshdeep Singh and their spinner Rahul Chahar.

Gujrat Titans

Gujrat Titans have a balanced lineup for the game as their squad is evenly balanced with proper batsmen and bowlers. The defending champions chased down comprehensively in their first two games and their strike spinner Rashid Khan made a hattrick in the last match. Though they got defeated in the last over against KKR, in front of some heroics of Rinku Singh, still they have a very good squad to place.
