Narendra Modi stadium pitch report
The Narendra Modi stadium is generally considered to be one of the best venues for batsmen. While the venue offers a variety of pitches, those with red soil in particular, ensure that the bounce is true and the batters will find it easy to strike the ball in any direction.

However, it might be relatively challenging for spinners, but they can be effective when the opposition is under pressure, thanks to the large boundaries.
The chasing team has had a slightly better record at this venue, largely due to the arrival of Dew at Ahmedabad. There is another important factor at play - powerplay is an important phase at the venue, particularly under lights in the second innings, where the ball has seen good movement.
Powerplay bowlers are crucial but if batters can survive this phase, they are likely to find it easier in the remainder of the chase.
GT vs RR: Head-to-head

GT vs RR: Prediction
With the return of Sanju Samson as the skipper, the Rajasthan Royals look like a more settled unit, especially after their away win over the PBKS. Similarly, GT have also found their balance with everyone having clarity of their roles.
When it comes to playing in Ahmedabad, the in-form Mohammed Siraj will lead the pace attack with a very settled batting unit. Expect a good game with the home side edging a win.
