In the 37th match of IPL 2024, Punjab Kings will take on Gujarat Titans at their new home ground in Mullanpur. The home team has played decent cricket but are coming into this game on the back of three consecutive heartbreaking losses.
However, the last time they got over the line was against GT, and that would give them some confidence coming into this crucial encounter.
Both sides would be desperate for a win, as one more loss and things can get very difficult, especially for Punjab Kings who have just two wins out of their seven matches so far.
Their top order has failed miserably and that is where they have lost most of their matches, which is something they cannot afford going forward. They have found some new heroes though in the form of Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma, and let's see which players can be their potential match-winners against GT.

Three Match-Winners For Punjab Kings
Sam Curran
The English all-rounder led Punjab Kings in the last couple of games and has the ability to win games with his all-round skills. He can bowl both with the new ball and at the death and has scored runs with the bat as well
In the first-ever game at Mullanpur, Sam Curran was the player of the match for his brilliant 63. He has got couple of starts as well after that knock, and has all the potential to win the game for Punjab Kings with his all-round skills.
Shashank Singh
The powerful middle-order batter who plays for Chhattisgarh in domestic cricket came into limelight with a match-winning 61 off 29 balls when PBKS took on GT earlier this season. In the following game, he again slammed unbeaten 46 and with a strike rate of almost 180 in 7 innings, Shashank Singh is one player PBKS will rely on.
Also, the right-handed batter has displayed great ability to deliver under pressure, and Shashank Singh would be looking to replicate his heroics against GT.
Arshdeep Singh
The left-arm seamer has picked 9 wickets in seven matches so far, and with majority of wickets taken by seamers at Mullanpur so far, Arshdeep Singh will be key for PBKS. He has the ability to swing the new ball and is good at the death as well.
Arshdeep's best performance of IPL 2024 has also been at Mullanpur when he picked four wickets against SRH, and has all the ability to make the ball talk again.
