The in-form and unbeaten Gujarat Titans will take on Punjab Kings on Friday at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai. While Gujarat Titans have played only two matches so far, their performace has impressed one and all. Punjab Kings have been a bit jittery.

Gujarat Titans' lethal pace attack will ask some probing questions to the dynamic Punjab Kings top-order in the IPL match on Friday.

In terms of composition and balance, both Gujarat and Punjab are very different and that makes for an enticing contest on a Brabourne Stadium track where runs are always on offer.

Punjab in their three games have shown that the approach this year would be to go hammer and tongs during the Powerplay overs and set the tempo for the rest of the innings.

In IPL however, there are some intriguing sub-plots that make it an engaging Friday. It will be a battle between Punjab's costliest buy (apart from skipper Mayank Agarwal's retention) Liam Livingstone and New Zealand's speed merchant Lockie Ferguson.
