Form Going Into This Match
Gujarat Titans had a tough start against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur. They posted 162 batting first but could not defend it.

Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, and Ravindra Jadeja restricted CSK to 127 and then Vaibhav Sooryavanshi blitzed 52 off just 17 balls to seal an eight-wicket win in 12.1 overs. They arrive tonight full of confidence.
Key battles to watch tonight:
- Shubman Gill vs Jofra Archer in the powerplay
- Rashid Khan vs Yashasvi Jaiswal in the middle overs
- Vaibhav Sooryavanshi vs Prasidh Krishna in the first six overs
- Jos Buttler vs Ravi Bishnoi in the death
Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch and Weather Report
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is a batter’s ground. The pitch is made of red soil that produces true bounce and allows the ball to come nicely onto the bat. During IPL 2025, teams batting first at this venue averaged above 200 per innings. Expect a high-scoring night.
Dew is a big factor here after 8:30 PM. Spinners will struggle to grip the ball and that means bowling second becomes much harder as the match progresses. Toss-winning captains at this venue almost always choose to field first for exactly this reason.
Weather for tonight is clear. Temperature will sit around 27 degrees Celsius during the match with low humidity around 21 to 26 percent. No rain is expected and conditions are ideal for a full, uninterrupted game.
GT vs RR Head to Head Record
In 8 IPL meetings between these two sides, Gujarat Titans lead the head-to-head 6-2. However, Rajasthan Royals won the most recent clash in April 2025 by 8 wickets with 25 balls to spare. GT won their previous meeting in April 2025 by 58 runs, so the rivalry has been competitive lately.
