GT vs PBKS recent form (Last 5 Matches)
Gujarat Titans
GT’s performance in the last five matches was poor, as they were unable to put on an impressive performance in the last season, as they had in the first two seasons. They have won two of their last five games and lost three, thus in the 18th season of the IPL, they intend to make a return and play like the GT that they have been known for.
Punjab Kings
PBKS’s last five matches went poorly, with three losses and only two wins. In addition, they finished lower in the points table in the IPL 2025, therefore in the upcoming IPL season, they will try to improve their performance and look to make their way to the knockout stage.
GT vs PBKS Toss Prediction: GT to win the toss and choose to field first
Since GT will be playing their first IPL 2025 match on their home field, where there will be a lot of fans cheering them, we expect that GT’s captain Shubman Gill will win the toss and choose to field first. Additionally, since they will be playing in front of their home crowd, the toss may work in their favor.
GT vs PBKS Score Prediction:
| Team | 1st Inning | 2nd Inning |
| GT | 180 | 190 |
| PBKS | 165 | 180 |
GT vs PBKS Players to perform prediction
GT
Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill is one of GT’s most consistent batters, who showed his batting abilities in the Champions Trophy 2025. As he is set to lead the side in the IPL 2025, GT management and supporters are hoping for him to score runs at the top of the order and get his team off to a good start.
Jos Buttler
Jos Buttler is the type of player who can deliver an explosive start to his team while still playing a steady inning to the end, which will help his team gain momentum. That is why Buttler at the top of the order, along with Gill, forms the most destructive batting combo in this season’s IPL.
Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan is one of the most experienced spinners in this IPL, and while he has not performed up to his reputation in the last season, he will come back stronger this year, as he has the skill set to flip the match in their team’s favor with his mysterious bowling.
PBKS
Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer was bought by the PBKS this season, making him one of the most expensive purchases in IPL history, thus he must perform to prove his worth in the IPL 2025 both as a batter and as captain. He is already in good form, having consistently scored runs in the Champions Trophy 2025, where he single-handedly carried the Indian team in multiple matches, therefore PBKS expects a match-winning performance from him in the upcoming encounter against GT.
Glenn Maxwell
Glenn Maxwell is one of the most destructive all-rounders in IPL history, having proven his worth as an all-rounder by dominating all bowlers with his six-hitting abilities and providing important breakthroughs with the ball in the middle overs.
Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal is the leading wicket-taker in IPL history, which explains a lot about his wicket-taking ability, as he deceives batsmen with his flight and spin while also preventing batters from scoring runs against him.
