There are two matches today in IPL 2024 under Super Sunday. The first match will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore while the second match will be played between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans. The condition of Punjab and Gujarat is not very good this season. In the points table, Punjab is at 9th while Gujarat Titans is at 8th. Punjab team has lost 5 out of 7 matches while Gujarat Titans have also lost 4 out of 7 matches and won 3.

Victory is necessary for both teams

When these two teams meet at the Mullanpur Stadium in Chandigarh, both will have the tournament on their mind and victory will be necessary for both the teams to travel further. Punjab Kings have lost their last three matches. Gujarat Titans also lost to Delhi Capitals in their last match.

Dhawan may return

As far as Punjab is concerned, Shikhar Dhawan may return in today's match, because last Sunday Punjab Kings had revealed that Dhawan will take at least a week to recover from his shoulder injury. It has been a week so Dhawan is likely to return today. Jonny Bairstow was also dropped from the team in the last match. Now it remains to be seen whether Bairstow is kept out or Dhawan returns. The weakness of the top order of the Punjab team is clearly visible. However, Shashank Singh is performing well in the middle order.

If Punjab Kings bowl first then probable playing XI
