Punjab Kings will take on Gujarat Titans in the 18th Match of the IPL 2023 at Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on April 13. Despite Shikhar Dhawan, who played a great knock with the bat and finished with a knock of 99 runs against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings (PBKS) failed to win the game and register their third successive win in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023 season.
Meanwhile, they are all set to host the defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT), who gave away five sixes in the final over to lose their last match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Thus, both teams will be trying to return in the winning zone when they take on each other in Mohali on April 13 in the IPL 2023.
As far as Gujarat Titans are concerned, captain Hardik Pandya is all set to make his return to the playing XI whereas Liam Livingstone will also be available for Punjab Kings as well. Meanwhile, all-rounder Vijay Shankar and Sai Sudharsan’s sublime form will boost Gujarat’s chances of winning the match while Kagiso Rabada is expected to play his first game of the season as well.
