Betting Tips
Punjab have registered two wins this season against Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals. In both games, captain KL Rahul led from the front and produced the highest individual score for Punjab. In the race for the Orange Cap, only Shikhar Dhawan has more runs than the Punjab skipper. With the ball, Mohammad Shami and Arshdeep Singh both have 6 wickets to their name.
KKR’s only win of this IPL season was mainly due to a 56-ball 80 from Nitish Rana, however, he has only made 106 further runs across four innings. Elsewhere in the side, half-centuries have come from Rahul Tripathi, Andre Russell and Pat Cummins. With the ball, Russell remains the leading wicket taker but 5 of his 7 wickets came in one game.
Punjab Kings have persisted with Chris Gayle at the expense of Dawid Malan who is still yet to get a game in the IPL. For KKR, we haven’t seen an appearance from Kiwis Lockie Ferguson and Tim Seifert or Aussie Ben Cutting.
Punjab Kings (Batting XI, Fielding XI) : KL Rahul (c) (wk), Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Deepak Hooda, Moises Henriques, Shahrukh Khan, Fabian Allen, Mohammad Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh

Toss Prediction
Winning the toss and choosing to field has been the popular choice so far in the 2021 IPL. We expect this to continue in this game although a new ground may provoke a change in some skippers’ minds………. .
Pitch Report : After the low and sticky pitch in Chennai and pacy surface in Mumbai, we wait to see what the Ahmedabad pitch offers. In the India v England T20I series, totals grew from match to match with India posting 224 in the final game…...…..{ batting.. .}
Weather Report: Mainly clear, the game will begin with temperatures not far off the earlier high of 43 degrees but will end closer to 30…..
