The surface in Mohali has traditionally been a high-scoring venue with batters enjoying their time in the middle. The ball might do a little bit for the fast bowlers in the initial stages of the match, but it will get easier to bat as the match progresses.
Gujarat Titans will take on the Punjab Kings at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on the 13th of April 2023, they emerged victorious in their first two group-stage fixtures. However, GT is entering this game on the back of a gut-wrenching defeat against KKR, where Rinku Singh did the impossible, by hitting 5 sixes in the last 5 balls. However, if we crop that dreadful final over of Yash Dayal, most of the things have fallen in place for the Titans. Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Vijay Shankar have been brilliant with the bat. Hardik Pandya’s return to the team will only make it look even stronger.
On the other hand, Punjab Kings got an ideal start to their IPL 2023 campaign, recording two successive clinical wins. After defeating Kolkata Knight Riders by a narrow seven-run margin (DLS), the Kings played well against Rajasthan Royals but incurred a five-run defeat in a high-scoring affair in Guwahati. However, they had a forgettable outing in Hyderabad. Marco Jansen and Mayank Markande restricted the Kings to the lowest score in the Indian Premier League this season of 143 and later chased it down with ease, courtesy of a Rahul Tripathi brilliant knock.
