The Indian Premier League 2026 is heading towards the business end, and every match matters now. Gujarat Titans will face Punjab Kings in the 46th match of the tournament at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 3. Gujarat has been up and down this season. They have won two and lost two of their last four games. Their batting relies heavily on Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler. If these two fail, the middle order has to step up. Their bowling has world class names like Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada, but they have not fired together as a unit.
Punjab Kings, on the other hand, are on fire. They have won four matches in a row. Their batting lineup is deep and powerful. Shreyas Iyer is leading from the front. Marcus Stoinis gives them balance with bat and ball. Their bowling has good variety with Arshdeep Singh, Lockie Ferguson, and Yuzvendra Chahal. They are full of confidence right now. The pitch at Ahmedabad is good for batting, and dew will make chasing easier in the second half. This is a big game for both teams as the playoff race gets tighter.

GT vs PBKS Pitch Report
The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is balanced. It offers true bounce and a quick outfield. Batters can play their shots freely once they settle in. Fast bowlers get some help with the new ball early on. Spinners come into play in the middle overs as the surface slows down a little. The boundaries are big, so batters need good timing not just power. First innings scores usually range between 170 and 200 runs. A total of 190 or more is very competitive.
GT vs PBKS Weather Report
The weather will be warm and mostly dry. Temperatures will be around 30 to 34 degrees in the evening. The sky will be clear with no chance of rain. Humidity will be moderate. The heat from the day will ease a bit after sunset. A light breeze may be present. Dew is likely to play a big role in the second innings. This will make bowling harder and batting easier under lights.
GT vs PBKS Toss Prediction
Teams winning the toss at this venue often choose to bowl first. Dew makes chasing much easier in the second innings. The captain who wins the toss will likely bowl first.
GT vs PBKS Match Prediction
Gujarat Titans will host Punjab Kings in the 46th match of IPL 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Gujarat has been inconsistent lately. They have won two and lost two of their last four games. Their batting relies heavily on Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler. If these two fail, the middle order has to step up. Their bowling has world class names like Rashid Khan and Kagiso Rabada. But they have not fired together as a unit. Playing at home gives them some advantage, but they need a complete performance.
Punjab Kings are on fire. They have won four matches in a row. Their batting lineup is deep and powerful. Shreyas Iyer is leading from the front. Marcus Stoinis gives them balance with bat and ball. Their bowling has good variety with Arshdeep Singh, Lockie Ferguson, and Yuzvendra Chahal. They are full of confidence right now.
The pitch will be good for batting. Dew will make chasing easier in the second half. The team that bowls first will have a big advantage.
Punjab’s recent form is much better than Gujarat’s. They are playing with more confidence and have a more balanced team. Gujarat needs their star players to fire if they want to win.
We think Punjab Kings will win this match. They are in better form, have a deeper batting lineup, and are riding a four match winning streak. The chasing advantage under dew also helps them.
Gujarat Titans will fight hard at home, but Punjab’s confidence and balance should see them through.
