IPL 2023 GT vs PKBS Date, Time, Venue, Head-To-Head, Dream11 Prediction, And Squads. Defending champions, Gujarat Titans will face Punjab Kings in the 18th match of the IPL 2023 On Thursday, April 13 at the IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali. These two teams appear to be strong, since they both started the 16th season with a bang, winning two straight matches handily.
Nonetheless, things have shifted slightly for both teams. PBKS’s performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) was forgettable, as they were outplayed in all three aspects of the game. GT, on the other hand, will be devastated following their heart-breaking loss to Kolkata Knight Riders in a last-over thriller at home.
Liam Livingstone joined the PBKS team for the next match. He will like to build a name for himself in the IPL 2023. This English Cricketer cannot just deliver lustful strikes but also break apart relationships. Shikhar Dhawan of PBKS is in excellent form and now holds the orange hat, having scored 225 runs in three matches of IPL 2023.
One thing is still unclear if Hardik Pandya will play against PKBS, after he missed the last match due to sickness. However, stand-in Captain Rashid Khan is in red-hot form, having taken a hat-trick against KKR.
