| Teams | Matches Played | GT Wins | PBKS Wins |

Gujarat Titans hold a slight edge over Punjab Kings in previous encounters, winning 2 out of 3 matches. However, PBKS will look to even the record with a strong performance.
Key Players to Watch Out For
1. Shubman Gill (GT)
Leading Gujarat Titans, Shubman Gill will play a crucial role as an opener. His elegant stroke play and ability to anchor the innings make him a key player for GT.
2. Glenn Maxwell (PBKS)
A match-winner with the bat and ball, Glenn Maxwell is known for his explosive hitting and handy off-spin. PBKS will rely on his all-round skills.
3. Rashid Khan (GT)
Arguably the best T20 spinner in the world, Rashid Khan’s ability to control the game in the middle overs and take crucial wickets makes him a vital asset for GT.
4. Jos Buttler (GT)
One of the most dangerous white-ball batsmen, Buttler can change the game within a few overs. If he gets going, PBKS bowlers will be in trouble.
5. Yuzvendra Chahal (PBKS)
Chahal’s experience and wicket-taking ability will be crucial for PBKS, especially against a power-packed GT batting lineup.
