Gujarat Titans (GT) have won four games in succession and moved to second in the IPL 2026 points table. Former IPL winners have played amazing cricket, and their destruction of the Rajasthan Royals with the ball in the last game will give many opposition batters nightmares. Win on Tuesday will give the Titans a chance to go top of the table and move closer to nailing a spot in the playoffs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) beat Punjab Kings to usurp the top spot in the points table. Pat Cummins has seen his batters show the kind of form they did in 2024 that led them all the way to the finals. The2016 IPL champions will be keen to win the game in Ahmedabad and regain their spot at the top of the table. With just a handful of games left in the season, Hyderabad will know that two points will all but secure their spot in the top four.

Ahmedabad, which is known to be a high-scoring ground, began the season keeping its reputation alive. But in the last few games, bowlers have started to have more say, and it has become an even contest between bat and ball.
In the five games played at this venue, teams batting second have won the games, which makes winning the toss pretty important. Pace bowlers will enjoy bowling with the new ball, and the spinners will come into the contest as the ball gets old and the wickets start to disintegrate.Matches – 6

Impact player – Harsh Dubey
Best batter – Travis Head
The Australian batter has shown the world why he is one of the most feared players across formats. Head can change any game with the bat, and in the T20 format, he becomes doubly dangerous. The Aussie batter has a strike rate of 175 in the powerplay overs this season. Ahmedabad is also the venue where he scored one of his memorable tons. Shorter boundaries and an electric outfield could see the 33-year-old produce another batting master class.
Best bowler – Kagiso Rabada
The right-arm pacer is a huge threat for any batting side in the first six overs of a T20 contest. Rabada has rediscovered his best form with the ball and is bowling at his hostile best, taking wickets. Knowing that the SRH batters will come hard at home, the South African star will be keen to assert his dominance right from the start. His partnership with Mohammed Siraj has yielded great results so far, and Shubman Gill would want his pace spearhead to continue his purple patch with the ball.
In a game between two heavyweights of this stature, it becomes difficult to pick a winner. If we look at the record, Gujarat enjoys overwhelming success over their opponents. One can assume the streak to continue and the home team to come out on top in this clash on Tuesday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
