Sudharsan, the leading run-scorer for the team, hasn’t hit a half-century yet, and his strike rate, the lowest among the top 25 scorers, raises concerns. Meanwhile, Mohit Sharma, the Player of the Match in their last game, is expected to be a key threat with his varied bowling skills.

Punjab Kings have struggled to secure a spot in the playoffs in recent IPL seasons, and this year seems no different as they face challenges in extending their campaign. However, the team possesses considerable talent, featuring skipper Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow as strong opening batsmen, backed by Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran in the middle order. Their bowling attack is formidable with the likes of Arshdeep Singh and Kagiso Rabada, known for their prowess in T20 cricket’s pace bowling department.
Despite their quality, Punjab Kings faced defeats against RCB in Match 6 and Lucknow Super Giants in Match 11. The journey to Ahmedabad poses a tough test for any team, and Punjab Kings must bring their A-game to stand a chance of triumphing in this upcoming clash.
