GT vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction, 5th Match – IPL 2025 | Best Captain Pick

Both Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings had a tough time last season, struggling for consistency and eventually finishing at the bottom of the points table in IPL 2024.

One of the major setbacks for Gujarat Titans was the form of their captain, Shubman Gill, who surprisingly didn’t even make it to the top 15 run-scorers last season.

That lack of impact from the top played a big role in them missing out on the playoffs.

On the other hand, Punjab Kings have made a bold move by appointing Shreyas Iyer as their new captain.

Iyer had a brilliant run with KKR last season, not only taking them to the final but also lifting the title.

Now, he’ll be aiming to bring that same winning mindset and leadership to Punjab Kings, hoping to turn things around and make them serious contenders this season.

Gujarat Titans:

Gujarat Titans had a disappointing campaign in IPL 2024. They played 14 matches, won 5, and lost 7, finishing in 8th place on the points table with 10 points. As a result, they failed to qualify for the playoffs.

However, the team has made some exciting changes this season. Jos Buttler, formerly with Rajasthan Royals, has joined the squad.

It’ll be really interesting to see how he performs in a new setup and what role he takes on at the top of the order.

Another exciting addition is Glenn Phillips, who impressed many during the World Championship Trophy.

He’s all set to make his presence felt in IPL 2025 with his explosive batting and energy in the field.

With the ball, Kagiso Rabada will lead the pace attack, while Rashid Khan continues to be the backbone of the spin department, offering Gujarat Titans a solid mix of pace and spin.

Punjab Kings:

Punjab Kings had a forgettable run in IPL 2024, finishing in the 9th position on the points table with just 10 points.

They played 14 matches, winning 5 and losing 7, failing once again to break their long-standing playoff drought.

But this season, things might take a turn. They’ve appointed Shreyas Iyer as their new captain, the same man who led KKR to the title last season.

His leadership style and calm approach could bring much-needed stability to Punjab’s unpredictable campaign history.

Shreyas was also in top form during the Champions Trophy, and if he carries that confidence into the IPL, it could massively boost Punjab’s chances.

They’ve also stacked their squad with some big international names like Yuzvendra Chahal, Josh Inglis, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, and Lockie Ferguson.

There’s plenty of experience and firepower in that lineup. The real question is that can this group finally click as a unit?

It’ll be interesting to see how these star players approach the season under Iyer’s captaincy.

The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad is generally considered a balanced surface, offering opportunities for both batters and bowlers depending on the type of soil used for the match.

This ground features two types of pitches — black soil and red soil — and each plays very differently:

If the match is played on a black soil wicket, expect the spinners to come into play, especially in the middle overs. The surface tends to be slower, making stroke play a bit tricky as the game progresses.

If it’s a red soil wicket, the pacers and batters will have the upper hand. The pitch provides good bounce, and the ball comes on nicely to the bat, which makes for high-scoring games.

So, a lot will depend on which surface is being used for this match. Teams will need to adapt their playing XI and strategy accordingly.

Weather Report of Ahmedabad

There is no forecast of rain, ensuring uninterrupted match conditions.

The temperature is expected to hover around 32 degrees Celsius, accompanied by a relatively low humidity level of 25%.

These conditions suggest a dry and warm atmosphere, which could lead to a slightly quicker outfield and minimal assistance for swing bowlers, particularly during the early phases of the game.
