PBKS vs GT Head to Head Record in IPL History

Having won a match each in their rivalry thus far, Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans will be locking horns against each other for the third time in the history of the Indian Premier League tomorrow.

IPL 2023 Match 18 will be the second match of the season at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium. Set to play here for the first time, GT will be playing their third away match in a row. PBKS, meanwhile, will be playing at home after participating in a couple of away matches.

Played at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, the last match between these two teams had been won by Kings. Chasing a 144-run target, they had won the match with 8 wickets and four overs remaining in the match.

Played around a year ago at the Brabourne Stadium, the first-ever contest between Punjab and Gujarat was a thrilling encounter fondly remembered for Rahul Tewatia hitting consecutive sixes off Odean Smith to seal a dramatic last-ball run-chase.

For the unversed, Tewatia had become only the second batter in the IPL to his five sixes in an over (also against Punjab) in IPL 2020. In addition to the left-handed batter facing PBKS again, the match will also witness Gujarat batter Shubman Gill playing at his home ground in domestic cricket.
