🏏 IPL 2026: Match 46, PBKS vs GT on 3rd May 7:30pm at Ahmedabad🏏 - Page 2

Thank you Soni for the thread and for tagging.

Best wishes to both teams.

Gujarat Titans have been in excellent form of late, clinching clinical victories in three out of the last five games they have played. They are coming on the back of a convincing win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where they ensured a complete all-round show against the defending champions, winning by four wickets.

Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have been the team to beat this season. They lost their first game of the season against Rajasthan Royals after maintaining an unbeaten streak for eight games. However, nothing can stop them from dominating given the kind of form they are in. As a result, it will be interesting to see if they can return to winning ways against GT.

GT vs PBKS Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Shreyas Iyer

One of the biggest reasons that Punjab Kings have turned out successful this season thus far is because of the way their captain Shreyas Iyer has been scoring runs on a consistent basis. His form has been the key to PBKS posting daunting totals and chasing big targets with utmost comfort. Iyer is expected to fire from his bat today!

Probable Best Bowler: Kagiso Rabada

South African pacer Kagiso Rabada has been a terrific performer for Gujarat Titans, especially due to his sheer ability to strike important breakthroughs. Another thing that stands out about the ace bowler is his skill to stem the flow of runs from one end and apply pressure on the opposition, which eventually results in fruitful outcome for the Titans. It will be interesting to see how Rabada fares against Punjab.

Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report

The NMS has been a high-scoring venue in IPL 2026. The average first-innings score in 4 matches this season is approximately 195, showcasing flatter batting conditions than previous years.

Pitch Behaviour------Flat, batting-friendly. True bounce, consistent pace. Ball comes on nicely, especially under lights in evening games.
Batting Conditions-----Excellent. 195+ is par. Quick outfield rewards aggressive batting. However, large boundaries (76m straight) suppress six-hitting.
Bowling Conditions----Pacers get bounce and carry. Spinners find grip in middle overs. Larger boundaries help bowlers contain scoring better than smaller grounds.
Avg 1st Innings Score (IPL 2026) ~195 (from 4 matches this season, significantly higher than historical 175 average)
Bat First vs Chase---- Dew in evening games favours chasers. However, batting first and setting 200+ is also viable due to large boundaries helping bowlers.
Key Stat: GT beat RCB chasing 156 in 15.5 overs here. But PBKS have chased every target this season, including 265 vs DC.
