Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans meet in the fourth match of IPL 2026 at Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, on 31 March. The first ball is due at 7:30 pm local time.
Punjab are captained by Shreyas Iyer and have Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Marco Jansen, Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal in the squad, with Lockie Ferguson also available. Gujarat, led by Shubman Gill, can call on Jos Buttler, Sai Sudharsan, Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada and Washington Sundar.
This is not a typical flat-track venue. Early pace and bounce make the powerplay important, and the pitch can slow down later, favouring spin and slower balls. A total of 170 or more is regarded as defendable. Our preview picks Punjab Kings to win.
