The pressure is on for both Gujarat Titans (GT) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as they clash in Match 63 of the IPL 2024 season. The showdown is scheduled to take place at the grand Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday, May 13. Ahmedabad, known for its scorching summer heat, usually doesn’t experience rain during this time. However, there’s a slight chance of the showers playing spoilsport.
GT will be brimming with confidence after their dominating win against Chennai Super Kings. Openers Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan played scintillating knocks, scoring centuries to propel their team to a mammoth 231 runs. Their batting form will be a cause for concern for KKR. Kolkata, meanwhile, became the first team to qualify for the playoffs when they thrashed the Mumbai Indians (MI) in their previous game. They, however, are a win away from confirming their finish in the top two.
