GT vs PBKS LIVE SCORE: Hello and welcome to ABP Live's live coverage of the IPL 2024 fixture set to be played between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. While GT have won 2 of their three matches, PBKS have a solitary win from their three games. Both of GT's win have come at their home turf which is where they take on PBKS, an opponent which has struggled away from home, losing both their matches while on tour.
That sets things up nicely for this fixture and hands a massive advantage to Shubman Gill-led GT who aim to complete a hat-trick of wins at the world's largest cricket stadium which they call their home. Having said that, Shikhar Dhawan's PBKS will be determined to turn their fourtunes around after two defeats in a row post their win in their season opener against DC in Mullanpur.
In what could be big blow to PBKS, there are doubts over the availability of Liam Livingstone which might force the team management to tamper with their Plan A for this fixture. Watch out for Gill, who not only has an incredible record at this venue but also against this opposition. The youngest captain of IPL 2024 has five half-centuries in 10 innings against PBKS.
GT edge PBKS as far as the head-to-head record is concerned, having won 2 matches to PBKS' 1 in their three face-offs but all of that will be a thing of the past when they lock horns in match number 17 of IPL 2024.

However, Noor's excellent bowling changed the game by quickly dismissing both of them. Curran failed to make an impact and was dismissed early.
Raza struggled to find his rhythm and got caught in the deep. Meanwhile, Shashank continued to play well from the other end, hitting some excellent shots to keep his team in the chase. Jitesh hit two consecutive sixes off Rashid but then got out to a full-toss soon after. Ashutosh Sharma came in and scored a quick 31 runs off 17 balls, supporting Shashank effectively.
