TEAMS PREVIEW
Gujarat Titans Preview
Gujarat Titans came up short in their opening match, posting an underwhelming 162 for 6 against Punjab Kings. They did put up some resistance with the ball, but it did not prove enough as the Kings chased it down comfortably with five balls left.
The Titans depend a lot on their top order, with Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler carrying most of the scoring load. All three need to fire if Gujarat are to reach a competitive total. Gill averages 41 against Rajasthan, which makes him a strong pick here. Sudharsan had an excellent last season, scoring 759 runs in 15 games at an average close to 55. He missed out in the opener, but he looks good for a 30-plus score this time.
Buttler has not been in great touch of late, and the middle order looks thin with Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, and Shahrukh Khan. Phillips looks the most capable of taking charge in the middle overs, having struck 34 fours and 18 sixes in T20s this year.
The bowling unit looked settled in the first game, with Prasidh Krishna delivering an impressive spell of 3 for 29 in four overs to trouble Punjab in the middle phase. Spinners Washington Sundar and Rashid Khan chipped in with a wicket each, adding depth to an attack that also includes quality pacers Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj.
GT Over/Under Betting Tips
Jos Buttler: Total Runs Over 24.5 @ 1.85
Buttler scored 38 runs against Punjab Kings in the first game of IPL 2026, a solid start to the season. His record at Narendra Modi Stadium is what makes this prop worth backing. He scored 328 runs at an average of 54.66 across seven games at this ground last season.
Gujarat Titans Total Score Over 185.5 @ 1.85
The Titans have averaged 180 runs against the Royals across the last 8 head-to-head matches, while their average total score last season at Narendra Modi Stadium was a staggering 212 runs. They scored past 190 runs in all three of those home matches, including a score of 217 runs against the Royals themselves.
Gujarat Titans Predicted Playing XI:
Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill(c), Jos Buttler(w), Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips, M Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Ashok Sharma, Mohammed Siraj Impact subs: Prasidh Krishna, Priyansh Arya, Praveen Dubey

Rajasthan Royals Preview
Rajasthan Royals began IPL 2026 on a high, thanks to a dominant display from their bowlers, who kept Chennai Super Kings down to 127. That total never looked enough as the chase was wrapped up in only 12.1 overs.
Their batting lineup looks solid this season. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi form an exciting opening pair, both capable of taking control inside the powerplay. Sooryavanshi did just that against CSK, smashing 50 from only 15 balls to kill the chase early. His recent numbers across formats have been excellent, with scores of 52 (17), 175 (80), 68 (33), 30 (22), and 52 (30) in his last five outings.
Jaiswal can give a quick start, while Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel add stability in the middle overs. Parag showed that last season with an average of 33. Shimron Hetmyer adds pace to the scoring in that phase, something he showed last year in the IPL with a strike rate of 146.
The bowlers set things up nicely in the opening game. Jofra Archer led the effort with figures of 2 for 19, while Nandre Burger supported him with 2 for 26, and both will test Gujarat’s top order. The contest between Gill and Archer will be one to keep an eye on. Stats show that Archer has dismissed Gill three times in six IPL clashes, while conceding only 16 runs.
Sandeep Sharma brings variety and can pick wickets in the middle overs, though he can leak runs. Ravi Bishnoi takes care of spin and impressed in the first match with 1 for 16. Ravindra Jadeja adds control with clever changes of pace, picking up two wickets and giving Rajasthan another reliable option in the middle overs.
RR Over/Under Betting Tips
Riyan Parag: Total Runs Over 22.5 @ 1.85
Parag scored 14 not out from 11 balls against CSK in difficult conditions. Narendra Modi Stadium is a much easier ground to bat on, and Parag plays both pace and spin well — a crucial asset against a GT attack that includes Rashid Khan. He has scored 180 runs across eight games against the Titans.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Total Sixes Over 1.5 @ 2.25
Sooryavanshi hit five sixes in his last game against CSK and struck 11 sixes the last time he played against Gujarat Titans. Across his IPL career he is averaging 3.63 sixes per match, making clearing the 1.5 mark a realistic target on most nights for him. The market looks to have underpriced his ability to clear the ropes, especially against the Titans' pace attack at a ground with short boundaries square of the wicket.
Total Fours Over 15.5 @ 1.85
The Royals smashed a total of 30 fours across the last two matches against the Gujarat Titans. They are a strong boundary-hitting side with genuine firepower and brute force in the top five. We back them to hit over 15 fours in today's match against the Titans.
Total Sixes Over 10.5 @ 1.85
The Royals are one of the best six-hitting teams in the IPL, smashing seven sixes in just 12 overs in the last match against CSK. Last season they averaged 11.5 sixes per match against the Gujarat Titans.
Rajasthan Royals Predicted Playing XI:
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Riyan Parag(c), Dhruv Jurel(w), Shimron Hetmyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Sandeep Sharma, Ravi Bishnoi, Brijesh Sharma Impact subs: Donovan Ferreira, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Ravi Singh

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Expect warm and slightly humid conditions in the evening, with temperatures hovering in the low 30s°C at the start and gradually easing as the night progresses. Skies are likely to be partly cloudy, and while conditions should remain largely dry, there is a slight chance of brief thundershowers in the region. Overall, it should be a typical hot Ahmedabad evening with no major weather interruptions expected for the game.

Average Turn
Nine games took place at the Narendra Modi Stadium during IPL 2025, where sides batting first averaged 216, and only two totals fell short of 200. If that pattern stays, it should remain a good surface for batting across the match. Fast bowlers can expect bounce and carry early on, especially in the first few overs, giving them a chance to strike, while spinners are more effective during the middle phase.
If Gujarat bat first, they may look to post a score in the 180 to 190 range. Rajasthan, given their stronger batting unit, might aim higher and target a total between 210 and 220 in the first innings.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
Total Match Sixes Over 19.5 @ 1.90
The average total sixes per match last season at Narendra Modi Stadium was 21.4. Gujarat Titans averaged 9.57 sixes per match while playing at Ahmedabad last season. We predict another high six-hitting game and back the total match sixes to be over 19.5 in today's contest.
Total Match Score Over 377.5 @ 1.90
Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is one of the highest-scoring venues in the IPL, where the ball comes onto the bat nicely. Last season, across 9 matches, the average total match score was 402.4 runs, and the 375-run mark was crossed in 6 of those 9 matches (67%).
Gujarat Titans to win the coin toss @ 1.90
We back Gujarat Titans to win the coin toss in today's match against the Rajasthan Royals.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams usually prefer to bowl first at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the IPL. Four of the last five IPL games played at the venue, including the final last year, have seen the toss-winning captain field first. Expect this pattern to continue here.
GT vs RR
Winning Prediction
Gujarat Titans head into this match needing a win after a disappointing start to their campaign. The responsibility will again fall on their top order, along with the bowling attack, to get things back on track. Playing in home conditions should also give them an added push.
Rajasthan Royals look like the more complete side with better coverage across departments. Their batting order has depth, and their bowling attack appears dependable. For Gujarat to have a chance, they must strike early and remove Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, and Riyan Parag quickly. If that does not happen, Rajasthan should take control of this contest.
We are backing Rajasthan Royals as the winners of this match.
