Gujarat played against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last game, where Hyderabad was sent to bat first. Continuing with their horrendous run, Hyderabad struggled a lot with the bat and could only score 152. Gujarat too lost early wickets, but skipper Shubhman Gill and Washington Sundar calmed the storm, taking the team to an easy win by seven wickets with 20 balls to spare.

Rajasthan faced Punjab Kings in their previous encounter, where they were batting first and had a fantastic start. Solid knocks from Jaiswal and Parag took the team to a good total of 205 runs on the board. Punjab has been doing a great job with the bat so far in the tournament, but it was not their day as they kept losing wickets. Wadhera played well but did not get enough support, and so the team lost by 50 runs.

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is renowned for being a batting-friendly venue, and preliminary reports indicate that this match will be no exception. High-scoring games have been consistently produced by the surface. The comparatively small boundaries (64m and 66m on the sides) further facilitate run-scoring, while the pitch's genuine bounce makes it easier for batsmen to make strokes. The surface tends to slow down as the game goes on, which forces spinners into play, even though pacers can get some early movement.
