IPL 2026: GT vs PBKS Preview
Gujarat Titans defeated defending champions Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their last game. It was a low-scoring thriller as the bowlers had a good time at the venue. Shubman Gill has been in good form for the team and will look to continue his good form against a quality bowling attack.
PBKS were in great form, winning five matches in a row and remained unbeaten until they met Rajasthan Royals in their last game, who easily chased down the total of 223 runs. Shreyas Iyer would like to make a comeback after the crushing defeat in the last game. His team is also performing well in this season and is playing cricket continuously.
GT vs PBKS will be another blockbuster encounter, as both the sides have faced each other seven times, the margin of victory is very close, as the Kings have won four times, and the Titans have won three games. In the last five meetings, Kings have had the upper hand, winning three times and GT winning twice.
The pitch for the GT vs PBKS encounter is expected to be a batsman’s paradise, offering a flat surface with consistent bounce and carry. If the match is played on a black soil pitch then the fast bowlers will get swing and seam and in hot and humid conditions dew will definitely play a role.
