The 16th match of IPL 2022 between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans will be played on Friday, 8 April 2022 at The Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai. The match will start at 07:30 PM local time.

Punjab Kings defeated champions Chennai Super Kings in the last match. With the inclusion of Kagiso Rabada, the PBKS bowling unit became even stronger. So far PBKS is in the fourth place of the points table with 2 wins in 3 matches. Punjab’s batting order is strong, led by Mayank Agarwal, Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Bhanuka Rajapakse and Jitesh Sharma.

Gujarat Titans are third in the table with 2 wins in 2 matches. They are ticking all the boxes, winning the match in both chase and defense. The opening batting combination of Gujarat Titans is great as Shubhaman Gill and Matthew Wade are the opening batsmen of Gujarat.

Mayank Agarwal’s side made two changes before the last match against Chennai Super Kings. We hope that with the consent of Johnny Bairstow and Vanuka Rajapaksa, they will both retain their place in the team.

Hardik Pandya’s side was unchanged against the Delhi Capitals. And they will play players from the same group in this match. We hope they have a chance to win this match.

Brabourne’s pitch is considered to be batting-based and also helps the spinners a bit. We hope to score 190 in this game.

Temperatures will stay above 30 degrees throughout this Match. There is no chance of rain during the game.

The toss plays an important role in every match. The idea is that whoever wins the toss has a better chance of winning. According to the prediction of the toss, the team that wins the toss may decide to field first.

This is the first match between these two teams.
