Two franchises with two wins each meet each other in match 16 of the Indian T20 League 2022 season. Punjab, who have played three games so far, defeated Bangalore and Chennai. Meanwhile, Gujarat remain the only side not to lose a match this season. Hardik Pandya's men have grabbed comfortable wins over Lucknow and Delhi.
Here are five key First Games fantasy cricket Match-Ups from match 16.
S Dhawan vs H Pandya
Hardik Pandya will start as the firm favorite against Shikhar Dhawan. The all-rounder has made 30+ runs in both matches and grabbed the wicket of Tim Seifert against Delhi. With 92 runs, Dhawan is Punjab's second-highest run-scorer. However, he faces an uphill task in this Match-Up.

L Livingstone vs S Gill
Liam Livingstone lived up to the hype with a fantastic all-round performance against Chennai. He amassed 153 fantasy points in the match. Shubman Gill, too, had a brilliant outing in his last game. The 22-year-old struck a 46-ball 84. Livingstone is likely to win the Match-Up between two in-form players.
M Agarwal vs D Miller
Punjab captain Mayank Agarwal has scored just 37 runs this season. On the other hand, David Miller made meaningful contributions in both matches for Gujarat. The left-handed batsman has the upper hand in this Match-Up. But Mayank might come up with the goods on Friday.
K Rabada vs L Ferguson
It will be a Match-Up between two pace bowlers. Lockie Ferguson grabbed a four-wicket haul against Delhi, while Kagiso Rabada has picked up more than 100 fantasy points in two matches. The South African's ability to make all-round contributions gives him the edge over the Kiwi pacer.
R Chahar vs R Khan
With just two wickets in two matches, Rashid Khan hasn't been able to make a big impact in the new season. However, his counterpart Rahul Chahar is in red-hot form. Chahar has bagged 162 fantasy points in the last two matches. The Punjab spinner could win the Match-Up against the Afghan spin king.
