They defeated Punjab Kings in the previous match by 6 wickets on the last ball of the match. Punjab Kings have won 4 out of 9 matches and are placed in the 8th position in the points tally. They lost the last game against Lucknow Super Giants by 20 runs after failing to chase a target of 154 runs. Punjab would be hoping for a better performance from the batting unit.
Here are 3 players you can avoid in your fantasy teams for the GT vs PBKS game:
1. Jitesh Sharma
Jitesh Sharma made his debut in IPL against Chennai Super Kings and made some decent contributions with the bat. However, in the last few matches, he has not been able to make a similar impact with the bat. Also, he is batting in the lower middle-order and might not get a chance to bat if the top-order scores run. You can avoid him and pick some other wicketkeepers in your fantasy team.
2. Sai Sudharsan
Sai Sudharsan made his IPL debut against Punjab Kings and scored 35 runs off 30 deliveries. However, GT have dropped him after his second game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He was included in the playing 11 in the last game against RCB in which he made 20 runs off 14 deliveries. GT might again drop him and hence, you can pick some other in-form players in your fantasy team.
3. Lockie Ferguson
In the first 5 matches, Lockie Ferguson picked 8 wickets including one four-wicket haul against Delhi Capitals which helped him win the player of the match award. However, in the last 4 matches, Ferguson has failed to deliver a good performance. He has managed to pick only 2 wickets in the previous 4 matches and has conceded over 30 runs in each of these games. Both the teams have a solid bowling unit and hence, you can avoid him in your fantasy team.
