IPL 2022: GUJARAT WIN TOSS, ELECT TO BOWL FIRST
(The Quiver): Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bowl in their Indian Premier League 2022 match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Friday.
In terms of composition and balance, both Gujarat and Punjab are very different and that makes for an enticing contest on a Brabourne Stadium track where runs are always on offer.
Hardik Pandya’s Titans had defeated fellow tournament debutants Lucknow Super Giants in their first game, and then handed a narrow 14-run loss to Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals. While the Titans are fourth in the table with an NRR of 0.495, PBKS are fifth in the standings.
The PBKS received a big boost in their squad ahead of the game against GT, as their star England batter Jonny Bairstow completed his quarantine and will be available for selection tonight.
