GT vs PBKS Match 46 Prediction
PBKS are the favourites. Their top-order form, led by Shreyas Iyer (397 runs, avg 66.17) and Prabhsimran Singh (378 runs) has been consistent, while their bowling unit has delivered in key moments.
GT has match-winners like Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, but inconsistency and recent losses make this a tougher challenge.
If PBKS maintain their current form, they should have the edge in this contest.
