Analysis
GT
Gill, Buttler and Phillips among the top five to gather runs. Middle order is weak with not very reliable SR Khan, Tewatia and Sundar. Rutherford may sit out due to the restriction of just 4 overseas players in playing eleven. Average all rounders in Tewatia, Sundar. The stable pace team consists of Rabada, Siraj and Krishna. Spin effort is led by Rashid assisted by Sai Kishore. Coetze will have to sit out. Overall, a team which can collapse due to brittle middle order.
Likely to Shine- Buttler, Phillips, Rashid, Rabada.
PBKS
Inglis, Iyer, Maxwell are solid hitters in the top five. The middle order of Stoinis, Shashank, Wadhera is very strong. The all rounders led by Stoinis and Jansen are promising. The pace bowling trio of Arshdeep, Jansen and Vyshak are wicket takers. Chahal, Brar and Maxwell offer spin services. A hardie and Ferguson may have to sit out due to the restriction of four overseas players in the playing eleven. Overall, a well balanced strong team.
Likely to Shine- Iyer, Maxwell, Jansen, Arshdeep.
