At the Narendra Modi Stadium, the Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders square off. Gujarat, who have won five of their twelve games, will need to win their next two games handily and hope that other outcomes go their way in order to have any chance. In contrast, Kolkata, who were the first side to secure a playoff berth, are virtually guaranteed a top-two finish because of their better net run rate. Gujarat's decisive victory over Chennai in their most recent game ended their three-game losing streak and damaged Chennai's chances of making the playoffs. Kolkata has been the club to beat and has shown a strong desire to qualify for the playoffs after losing out on them the previous two seasons. This game is expected to be an exciting spectacle with the ability to set the tone for the last week of the league stage, despite the different goals that each side has for itself. Ahead of the clash, take a look at the Dream11 predictions, pitch and weather report of the match.

The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium is thought to be batting-friendly, and batsmen love to spend their time batting in the middle of the plate. The Pacers have some assistance, particularly with the new ball because it has some turn and modest bounce. The spinners were also able to detect a tip to turn off the deck. The second half of the game will see easier batting. Since Ahmedabad is typically a chase-first location, the team that wins the toss will probably bowl first.
