Gujarat Titans (GT) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will be facing each other in the fifth game of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). The game is scheduled to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Tuesday (March 25).
Both the teams failed to make the cut for the playoffs last season and will be hoping to turn things around this year. After winning the title in 2022 and finishing runners-up in 2023, GT could not finish in the top four in 2024.
They finished at the eighth spot and will be hoping to do well this year. PBKS, on the other hand, finished at the ninth spot and missed out on the playoffs once again. For this season, PBKS have not only named a new captain but have also overhauled their squad and will be hoping that their fortunes finally change.
