Just a day before the auspicious occasion of Baisakhi 2023 on 13 April, Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans will collide against each other in the match no. 18 of Indian Premier League 16. Both these teams are coming out off a loss from their previous matches and they would love to restart their dominating run once again by winning this match on Thursday.
Shikhar Dhawan alias Gabbar is currently enjoying a purple patch and his red hot form in this tournament can become a serious concern for Hardik Pandya’s team in this PBKS vs GT match no. 18 of IPL 2023. Pandya will once again take over the captaincy role in this match as he had to miss the previous match unfortunately due to some health concerns.
Highly rated English all-rounder Liam Livingstone has also joined the Punjab Kings camp finally and this inclusion in the team will provide a huge boost to PBKS as far as their batting department is concerned.

IPL 2023 PBKS vs GT (Match 18) Mohali Stadium Pitch Report :
During the previous IPL 2023 encounter on Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium pitch in Mohali, Punjab Kings managed to secure a comfortable win by 7 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders, thanks to the DLS equation. The Mohali pitch provides a lot of help for the fast bowlers but at the same time its a batting paradise.
Although Punjab Kings won their last match on this pitch while batting first, but that doesn’t change the fact that chasing on this Mohali ground is much easier and as per the past records.
As its a evening match, so dew will also play a major part in the second innings and we are quite sure that during the coin toss of this match between Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans, both the captains will look to go for the chase.
