Match Winner
Rajasthan Royals to Win @ 1.85 (Stake)
Rajasthan Royals defeated CSK convincingly in their last match, while Gujarat Titans lost their opening fixture. The Royals have greater depth in batting than the Titans, which gives them a clear edge. With momentum on their side and a settled lineup, they are well placed to claim victory in today's fixture.
Total Match Sixes
Over 19.5 @ 1.90 (Parimatch)
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.
Best Opening Partnership
Rajasthan Royals to Have a Better Opening Partnership Than Gujarat Titans @ 1.87 (1xBet)
Rajasthan Royals' opening pair of Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi smashed the Titans' bowlers the last time these two teams met. The duo added 75 runs in the last match against CSK, while the Titans lost their first wicket inside 30 runs. We predict another strong opening partnership for the Royals and back them to score more runs for the first wicket than the Gujarat Titans.
Why Narendra Modi Stadium Suits Certain Bet Types
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%).
We back the Total Match Score Over 377.5 @ 1.90 (Parimatch). The venue data strongly supports a high-scoring contest, and with both batting lineups capable of posting big totals, this is a well-supported pick for today's fixture.
GT vs RR Powerplay Betting Tips & Stats
GT vs RR powerplay betting is one of the most popular markets for this fixture. The IPL 2026 powerplay stats below highlight key trends from Narendra Modi Stadium IPL 2026 stats and recent team form.
The scoring rate in the powerplay overs at Narendra Modi Stadium across the last 10 innings was roughly 10.25 runs per over, with an overall average of 61.5 runs across those innings. Gujarat Titans have been notably more aggressive at their home ground, averaging 68 runs in the powerplay — nearly 6.5 runs above the venue average — suggesting they are well-suited to the conditions and back themselves to attack from ball one.
Teams can broadly expect anywhere between 60 and 75 runs in the powerplay at this ground. When GT bat first here, a powerplay score in the high 60s to low 70s looks the most likely outcome in today's match against the Rajasthan Royals.
The Royals, on average, scored 50 runs per match across the 17 IPL matches they played at Narendra Modi Stadium. However, in their last match against CSK they scored 74 runs in the powerplay overs, showing they are more than capable of accelerating when conditions allow.
- Gujarat Titans to Score Over 55.5 in 6 Overs @ 1.85 (1xBet)
- Rajasthan Royals to Score Over 57.5 in 6 Overs @ 1.85 (1xBet)
| Stat | GT | RR | IPL 2026 Avg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avg PP score (batting) | 54 | 74 | 62 |
| PP score at Narendra Modi Stadium | 62 | 50 | DNP |
GT Powerplay Form vs RR Powerplay Form
Rajasthan Royals dominated against the Gujarat Titans the last time these two teams faced off, scoring 87 runs in the first six overs, while the Titans managed only 53. We predict the Rajasthan Royals to score more runs in the powerplay overs than the Gujarat Titans and back them to outscore Gujarat Titans in the first 6 overs @ 1.85 (Parimatch).
10-Over Session Bets — What to Back at the Halfway Mark
The Titans have been a powerful scoring unit at Narendra Modi Stadium, averaging 98 runs at the 10-over mark across their last five matches there, pointing to a scoring rate of roughly 9.8 runs per over through the middle overs. These IPL 2026 session bets are well supported by the venue data.
At the 15-over mark, their average climbs to 151 runs, and with wickets in hand they have the firepower to push the scoring rate to 10–11 runs per over in the back end, which could comfortably take them past 200. However, if they lose wickets in a cluster, that rate dips sharply to 7.5–8 runs per over, making the 175–185 range more likely in that scenario.
Rajasthan Royals have been ticking along at close to 9 runs per over across their last five IPL matches at all venues, making them a steady and dangerous unit with the bat. Crucially, the Royals are strong players of spin, which sets up a fascinating battle against Rashid Khan.
While Rashid remains one of the most difficult bowlers to score against in T20 cricket, the Royals have the batting depth and technique to target leg spin, potentially taking the sting out of what is typically the Titans' biggest wicket-taking threat.
Beyond Prasidh Krishna, who has been disciplined and economical, the rest of the Titans' bowling unit was expensive in the middle overs in their last match. If the Royals get off to a solid start, the 10–15 over phase could prove very profitable for them.
Projected scores, Gujarat Titans batting first: 10 overs: 95–105 | 15 overs: 148–158
Projected scores, Rajasthan Royals chasing: 10 overs: 88–98 | 15 overs: 138–150
- GT Over 93.5 in the First 10 Overs @ 1.90 (Parimatch)
| Over Range | Typical Score (1st Inns) | Key Variable | Our Line |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–6 (PP) | 60–65 | Opener form | Over 57.5 |
| 0–10 combined | 90–95 | Good batting track | Over 93.5 |
| 0–15 | 140–150 | Wickets in hand | Update on match day |
Batting First vs Chasing at Narendra Modi Stadium — Defence & Chase Bets
Batting first vs chasing at Narendra Modi Stadium is one of the most important factors when placing bets on this fixture. For the latest standings, visit the IPL 2026 points table.
The numbers at Narendra Modi Stadium tell a compelling story heading into this fixture. The average first-innings score of 215.7 runs against a second-innings average of 186.8 runs underlines a clear advantage for teams batting first, with the batting-first win percentage standing at a dominant 77.8% compared to just 22.2% for chasing sides last season. The average winning score of 216.8 runs shows that posting a big total is the safer route to victory at this ground.
Last season, the Titans won three of their four matches at Narendra Modi Stadium while batting first, with their only win while chasing also coming at this venue. For Gujarat Titans specifically, their record at this ground shows they are capable in both scenarios, having won one match each way against the Royals at this venue.
However, the overall head-to-head record between these teams shows that Rajasthan have won both their overall victories against the Titans while bowling first, and four of the Titans' six wins in the head-to-head have also come while bowling first.
| Metric | Batting First | Chasing |
|---|---|---|
| Win % | 77.8% | 22.2% |
| Avg winning score | 210–220 | — |
| Lowest score defended | 190 | — |
| Highest score chased | — | 204 |
| Dew factor impact | — | High impact |
Toss Prediction & Impact on Your Bets
The toss sets up as a genuinely close call, though the numbers slightly favour Rajasthan, who won six coin tosses last season compared to the Titans winning just two. Past results strongly favour batting first, and with the Titans' bowling attack looking slightly inconsistent outside of Prasidh Krishna and Rashid Khan, putting runs on the board appears the smarter option.
Despite the toss record leaning Rajasthan's way, our GT vs RR toss prediction is Gujarat Titans to win the coin toss @ 1.90 (Parimatch). If they do call it right, expect them to elect to bat and post a defendable total at their home fortress. Update your match-winner bet once the toss result is confirmed.
