Gujarat Titans (GT) trailed by just two points behind the top four spots ahead of the match and halted their losing streak with a victory over CSK. However, facing the table-toppers, KKR presented a formidable challenge.
At the summit of the table, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had demonstrated an ability to secure victories in tight contests while dominating some encounters. Although Gujarat Titans posed a challenge, KKR boasted sufficient quality with both bat and ball to emerge victorious.

Given that over 55% of IPL matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium had been won by teams batting second, both would opt to field first.
The average score for teams batting first at the Narendra Modi Stadium was 172.85. The pitch didn’t offer significant pace but assisted spinners. The optimal batting conditions were during the powerplay overs when the ball was new and traveled quickly off the bat.
Cloudy conditions were expected throughout the match in Ahmedabad. The temperature gradually decreased from 35 to 32 degrees as the game progressed.

Persistent rain at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad led to the abandonment of Match 63 of the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) without a ball being bowled. As a result of this washout, both teams were awarded one point each. While KKR had already made it to the playoffs, the extra point helped their cause as they sealed a top-two finish, moving to 19 points on the table heading into their last league game against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati.
Gujarat Titans were eliminated from the playoffs race. The 2022 Champions and last year’s finalists moved to 11 points with a game to go. A favorable result in their previous league game would only take them to 13 points, while there were already four teams with 14 points or more. GT closed their campaign on May 16 with a match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Hyderabad.
