Here's how the Playing 11 of PBKS and GT would look like

The Punjab Kings though have Jonny Bairstow available and might try him out at Odean Smith’s place but given his power-hitting abilities of Smith, it is unlikely that the Kings would make that change without losing many games in which Smith is unbcessful. For Bairstow to come back into the Playing 11, he would have to wait out Rajapaksa’s decline in form which he and his team would not want. 

As far as Gujarat Titans are concerned, they would not want to break the winning combination but the injury to Varun Aaron, which resulted in him not being able to bowl out his quota of overs, might give either Pradeep Sangwan or Yash Dayal, the Uttar Pradesh fast bowler, a chance to make their debuts for the Titans in this game.
