The excitement in Ahmedabad is palpable as Gujarat Titans (GT) prepare to host the table-toppers Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Narendra Modi Stadium today, May 3, 2026. With GT finding their rhythm after two consecutive wins and PBKS looking to defend their top spot, this Match 46 is a high-stakes encounter you cannot miss.
Head-to-Head: A Fierce Rivalry
The history between these two sides is incredibly balanced. Out of their 7 meetings in the IPL, PBKS holds a slight edge with 4 wins to GT’s 3. Interestingly, their most recent clash on March 31, 2026, saw Punjab clinch a thriller by 3 wickets. Shubman Gill will be eager to settle the score on his home turf today.
Pitch Report: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
The Ahmedabad surface is a dream for stroke-makers. Expect a batting-friendly pitch with true bounce and pace.
- Average 1st Innings Score: Around 176 in IPL 2026.
- The Dew Factor: Evening dew is expected in the second innings, making the ball slippery. Captians winning the toss will likely choose to bowl first to take advantage of easier batting conditions under the lights.
- Pace vs. Spin: While the large boundaries help spinners, the firm deck traditionally rewards fast bowlers who can “hit the deck.”
