GT vs PBKS Swoop Fantasy Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Hints: Captain, Probable Playing 11, Team News; Injury Updates For GT vs PBKS IPL Match No. 48 at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai, 7:30 PM IST May 3


Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 sees stalwarts Punjab Kings (PBKS) & debutants Gujarat Titans (GT) throw their hat into the ring. Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans, led by Mayank Agarwal and Hardik Pandya, respectively, will aim to produce a tantalizing match when they take on each other on Tuesday (May 3).  

Gujarat is riding on the form of their strong middle order which has delivered close games time and again this season and the bowling led by Mohammad Shami & Rashid Khan has taken wickets consecutively game after game.  

Punjab on the other hand has been plagued by inconsistency in the batting unit and the indifferent form of their bowling unit. PBKS skipper Mayank Agarwal has blown hot and cold while his opening partner Shikhar Dhawan is among the top 5 run-getters. The middle-order has been inconsistent and the bowling led by Arshdeep Singh & Kagiso Rabada has been able to tie the opposition down. 

Other notable Indian players from both teams include Rishi Dhawan, Jitesh Sharma, Pradeep Sangwan, and Abhinav Manohar, along with quality foreign players including Liam Livingstone, Alzarri Joseph, Odean Smith & express pace bowler Lockie Ferguson.
