GT vs PBKS Match Win Prediction: In IPL 2025, the fifth match of the season will be played on March 25 between one-time champion Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings, who have so far been away from the title win, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This ground is the home ground of the Gujarat team, so it will definitely have a slight advantage of the circumstances, but along with this GT will also have to perform well.
GT vs PBKS: Gujarat is once again led by young Indian star batsman Shubman Gill, while Punjab Kings have made a big change and this time the command of the team has been handed over to Shreyas Iyer, who made KKR the champion last season. Shreyas himself decided to enter the mega auction and then Punjab brought him into their camp by spending an amount of 26.75 crores.
GT vs PBKS: Gujarat Titans has a lot of big players
GT vs PBKS: First of all, talking about Gujarat Titans, apart from Shubman Gill, it now also has the support of former England captain Jos Buttler. Apart from this, other key players in batting include stalwarts like Sai Sudarshan, Rahul Tewatia, Glenn Phillips and Sherfane Rutherford. However, in the middle order, the team will have to show faith in young players but there are many experienced players in bowling. Apart from Mohammad Siraj and Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma is also in the pace department. At the same time, Washington Sundar is also present with Rashid Khan in spin. Phillips can also contribute to spin bowling if needed.
All-rounders are the biggest strength of Punjab Kings
The team of Punjab Kings, which has been deprived of winning the title in 17 seasons, looks very balanced this time. While Punjab has an explosive batsman like Prabhsimran Singh in the top order. At the same time, Shreyas Iyer is also there after him. All-rounders have experienced all-rounders like Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Azmatullah Omarzai and Aaron Hardy, who can contribute in both departments.
Apart from this, there is a dangerous pair of Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal in bowling, who have often dismissed batsmen with their bowling in T20. There are some young players who have made a splash in their respective state’s T20 league or domestic cricket. In such a situation, Punjab Kings look very strong on paper.
Head to head statistics between GT vs PBKS
