PBKS vs GT Dream11 Prediction:
- With 225 runs at a strike-rate of 149.00, Shikhar Dhawan is having an excellent campaign and we expect him to be Punjab Kings’ highest run scorer in this match. Arshdeep Singh has taken six wickets in this competition and he is well worth backing as Punjab Kings’ top wicket taker against Gujarat Titans.
- Shubman Gill has batted in 101 T20 games and is approaching 3000 T20 runs. The opener is our tip for Gujarat Titans’ highest run scorer in this game. Rashid Khan is averaging a wicket every nine balls in this year’s tournament and he is our pick for Gujarat Titans’ top wicket taker against Punjab Kings.
- After taking six wickets from his last two appearances, we are backing Rashid Khan to take over 1.5 wickets in this fixture.
