PBKS VS GT
Match Preview: PBKS vs GT, The most severe form of what Rinku Singh did to teams last year was done to the Gujarat Titans. In fact, Punjab Kings, their next opponent, had every reason to believe they had done enough last year when they got Hardik Pandya on the first ball of the final over with 18 balls to go; however, Rahul Tewatia won the match for Titans with two sixes off the last two balls.
Match Preview: PBKS vs GT
When the Titans face the Kings on Thursday in Mohali, they will need to quickly recover from Rinku’s five-six finish, which cost them what appeared to be an unbeatable game. Lords, falling on misfortune themselves, will attempt to capitalise on any lingering impact of the losses the Titans endured.
A spot in the early top three is at stake in this match. In their first three games, each team has won two games. Although the Kings will try to make the most of their home advantage, the Titans have appeared to be the more formidable team.
Liam Livingstone is finally back for PBKS vs GT
After a significant delay, Liam Livingstone is at long last in Mohali and preparing at the nets. Since he injured his knee on his Test debut in Pakistan in December, if he plays, this will be his first official cricket game. He ought to replace Matt Short in the XI. There may be an impulse to play Kagiso Rabada, yet Nathan Ellis has not done gravely by any means. The Kings might consider bringing one of them in as an impact player if they bat first.
Hardik Pandya missed the previous match due to illness, but he should be available for this one.

Punjab Kings
Kings IX started without Sikandar Raza in the last match to see if they could get Rabada in for the second innings. A breakdown with the bat implied Raza must be subbed in. Presently, however, Livingstone’s appearance could make lords go with a more traditional side.
Gujarat Titans
In the bat-first XI, Hardik ought to replace Abhinav Manohar, but it’s up in the air whether they trust Yash Dayal or give him a break after that crucial last over to Rinku. It’s a good time to introduce R. Sai Kishore, a formidable left-arm spinner. Their impact players appear to be in order: if they bat first, Sai Sudharsan starts, and Josh Little starts if they field.
