While GT has secured two wins out of three matches, PBKS has faced consecutive losses, adding anticipation to this clash. GT showed resilience in their recent victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) after a setback against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), making them the favorites for the upcoming game on their home ground in Ahmedabad.

On the other hand, PBKS began the tournament with a notable win over Delhi Capitals but has since suffered back-to-back defeats. Now, facing the strong Gujarat Titans, Shikhar Dhawan’s team faces another tough challenge.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium is expected to support slow bowlers, similar to its behavior in the previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Batting might become progressively difficult as the match progresses, highlighting the importance for batters to score quickly during the powerplay phase.
