Gujarat Titans (GT) meet Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match 46 of the ongoing IPL season at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 3. Titans are yet to play their perfect game. They are not firing in unison, and that's why they have been faltering at regular intervals.
However, they are on a two-match winning streak, having beaten Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in their previous two clashes. They have replaced Glenn Phillips, who was woefully out of form, with West Indies allrounder Jason Holder, and that seems to be working for them.

Holder was the Player of the Match (POTM) against RCB, chipping in with healthy contributions in all three departments. Rashid Khan will be the key for Titans, having blown hot and cold thus far.
In contrast, Punjab are coming into this game on the back of a loss for the first time this season. Shreyas Iyer has been flawless with marshalling his troops on the field. Punjab's top order, especially their openers, Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya, have been two of the most feared ball-strikers this season.
