GT vs PBKS: The exciting match of IPL 2026 will be played between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. Punjab Kings would like to make a comeback in this match by avenging their defeat, while Gujarat Titans will try to continue their winning streak.

Punjab Kings had initially won six consecutive matches, but recently their winning streak was broken against Rajasthan Royals. The team is still on top of the table with 13 points in eight matches. Still, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals are just one point behind.

Punjab’s batting is strong. Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh give a good start. The middle order is also reliable under the leadership of captain Shreyas Iyer, but lack of consistency in bowling and poor fielding remain a matter of concern. Due to many missed catches, there is additional pressure on the batsmen.

Gujarat Titans preparation

Gujarat Titans have won the last two matches and are at fifth position with 10 points. The team’s batting mainly depends on Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan and Jos Buttler. Apart from these three, other batsmen have not been able to leave much impact, which is a matter of concern for the team. However, improvement is visible in the bowling department.

Jason Holder performed well in the recent match. He took wickets and also caught catches. The bowlers have shown better control over the length, which can prove important against Punjab’s strong batting line-up.
