Rajkot: Home Ground Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot, Gujarat Lions won the toss and decided to bowl. In the team of Gujarat, the allrounder Shuham Agarwal has been replaced by the unstable Ishshan Kishan. In the 26th match of IPL-10, Gujarat and Kings Punjab will face face-to-face on Sunday. The Gujarat team, which has won a spectacular victory against Kolkata Knight Riders in the last match, is excited. Although the numbers are still at the bottom of the table While Kings Punjab’s team has lost four consecutive bouts, it is sixth.
Head to Head: Lions-Kings
Gujarat Lions and Kings XI Punjab were twice in the IPL in 2016. Both won a one-on-one match
Gujarat’s hopes from Raina-McCullum
Gujarat’s captain Suresh Raina’s 84 off 46 balls helped Kolkata beat Kolkata on Friday. For Gujarat, McCullum has scored 258 runs so far, while Raina has 243 runs in his account. Punjab’s batting order is also strong. He has bats like Hashim Amla, David Miller, Glenn Maxwell and Manan Vohra, who can make big scores.
Bowling of both teams’ weakness
The Punjab batsmen had scored a score of 198 against Mumbai Indians, but their bowlers scored a lot of runs. Mumbai’s team won the match in 15.3 overs only. The team of Gujarat will depend heavily on Andrew Ti who will take a hat trick. In the last few matches, Kerala’s young fast bowler Basil Thumpi has also influenced his bowling. Gujarat’s all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has not been able to do anything special so far.
