Top Dream11 Players To Avoid
Rahul Tewatia
Avoiding Rahul Tewatia in a fantasy team would be better. Although he has alone ripped apart PBKS few times in the previous seasons, he seems to be out of his depth. He only scored just 28 runs in 26 balls this season 2024.
Shashank Singh
Shashank scored 30 off 16 deliveries at present. However, he has not been a part of any dream team till now. We do not expect runs from him against GT’s bowling attack. This is why it’s for the best to keep him out of the fantasy teams for this match.
GT vs PBKS Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Innings Score
Out of the 27 games hosted in this stadium, the average first innings score was 172. We expect the first innings score to be around 170 to 180 and the powerplay score to be around 45 to 50.
GT vs PBKS Betting Odds
| GT | PBKS | |
| Team to win the match | 1.80 | 2.05 |
| Team to win the toss | 1.90 | 1.90 |
GT vs PBKS Win Possibility
Our favourite team to win the match for cricket ipl fantasy would be GT. They are in peak form with literally no weaknesses. While PBKS has been off to a great start in their IPL campaign, there are many inconsistencies with their performance in the previous matches.
