With Royal Challengers Bengaluru beating Delhi Capitals on Sunday, the race for the top four positions in the 2024 Indian Premier League continues to excite and entertain!
Gujarat Titans looked set to be sent out of the tournament after three back to back defeats but then they produced a remarkable batting display against Chennai Super Kings to give themselves a glimmer of hope.
Most pundits will be predicting a victory for the clean-hitting KKR but the Titans proved on Friday that nothing can be taken for granted in this year's edition.
Strap yourselves in, this could be yet another cracker!
Centuries from both openers, Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, were key to Gujarat Titans' win against CSK on Friday and we expect the pair, along with South African David Miller to be the key batters in this clash. Sudharsan not only scored a century but also became the fastest Indian to 1000 IPL runs, doing so in 25 innings.
Mohit Sharma was the top bowler for the side, picking up three wickets against CSK and he will be dangerous, particularly with his well disguised slower balls. If Rashid Khan can also find his best form then Gujarat will be a real threat.

KKR have got themselves into brilliant habits this season with their most impressive one being an ability to win games thanks to performances from players across their squad. In the last game, their powerhouse opening pair of Phil Salt and Sunil Narine did not deliver but that didn't matter as Venkatesh Iyer stepped up instead.
With the ball, Varun Chakravarthy has been exceptionally consistent over recent matches and his pace off bowling is likely to be a real threat again in this game. Mitchell Starc is likely to bowl with genuine pace throughout this clash.

It will be cloudy from start to finish in Ahmedabad with the temperature dropping from the mid-thirties to the high twenties across the game. No rain is forecast to interrupt the match.
There is sometimes a two-paced nature to the pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium which leads to very few totals above 200. Whoever bats first will be looking to hit around 180 to be competitive.
With the team who fields first winning over 55% of IPL games at this venue, we predict that both skippers will want to bowl first at the toss on Monday.
If Gujarat Titans can get a similar batting performance from their opening pair as they did against CSK then they will certainly be competitive. However, KKR are an unstoppable force at the moment with players performing brilliantly across their squad. Our prediction is for KKR to get another victory.
