Shubman Gill and his men would look to overcome their poor show last season. They struggled with their consistency and failed to reach the playoffs. The bowling attack had a poor season, and they have more teeth in the bowling attack this year. It is their home ground, and Gill would like to use the familiarity with the conditions and start the campaign with a win.
Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler are aggressive players, and the team expects them to deliver a flying start in this game. Sai Sudharsan, Shahrukh Khan, Mahipal Lomror, and Washington Sundar must steer the innings in the middle order and build partnerships. Glenn Phillips, Rashid Khan, and Rahul Tewatia are explosive batters, and they will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack is strong this year, and the team expects early strikes from Kagiso Rabada and Mohammad Siraj. Rashid Khan is the key bowler for the team, and he will look to use the conditions to the advantage and do well in the middle overs with Washington Sundar. Mohammad Arshad Khan and Tewatia must do well in the ing role.
The elegant left hander finished IPL 2024 with 527 runs in 12 matches, out of which he scored 322 runs in 6 matches at Ahmedabad. Sudharshan bats with bit of sensiblity, plays long innings and an ideal batter to bet on against the Punjab Kings.
Shubman Gill is coming on the back of a good outing in the Champions Trophy. Last season, Gill scored 284 runs in 6 matches, averaging 56.80. The last time he played against PBKS at Ahmedabad, he scored a maginifcent knock of 89 runs. Overall, Gill averages 98 against Punjab Kings at home (98 runs in 2 matches).

The Punjab Kings have been the bottom hunters of the points table. They haven't made the playoffs in the last 10 seasons. Shreyas Iyer, who led KKR to a title last year, comes in as skipper and will look to lift the team's fortunes. It will be a tough challenge for them against the Gujarat Titans, and Iyer expects his team to play positively and earn their first points this season.
Prabhsimran Singh has done well for the team in the last couple of seasons, and he must deliver a good start with Vishnu Vinod. Shreyas Iyer must lead from the front in the middle order and build partnerships with Marcus Stoinis and Suryansh Shegde. Glenn Maxwell, Marco Jansen, and Shashank Singh must do the heavy lifting in the lower middle order and take the team to a big total.
There are big expectations from Marco Jansen and Arshdeep Singh, and the new-ball pair must deliver early breakthroughs as the Titans’ batters will come hard at them in the early overs. Yuzvendra Chahal must use his experience in the middle overs and do well with Kuldeep Sen. Stoinis, Maxwell, and Harpreet Brar add variety to the attack and must do well in the ing role.

There will be clear skies over Ahmedabad, and we expect a warm and humid evening. The wicket is two-paced, and batsmen would have to be watchful. Spinners will likely enjoy the conditions in this game, as the dry surface would make the ball turn. The average first innings score is 170 runs, and the team batting first will target 200.

Average TurnNarendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, has a flat surface and quick outfield. Batsmen have done well, though the wicket can surprise them with its dual-paced nature. Batsmen who build their innings have been more successful here. Fast bowlers rely on their variations to earn rewards on this surface. It has been a happy hunting ground for the spinners as the ball can turn sharply and stop on the batsmen.
The average total match 4's in the last five h2h games between Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings is 32. Both teams got some really good boundary scorers in their ranks and the outfield at Ahmedabad is fast.
We back the home team Gujarat Titans to win the coin toss in match 5 of IPL 2025.
The average total match score in the 8 games played at Narendra Modi Stadium last season is 343 runs. The last time Punjab and Gujarat played at Ahmedabad it was run-feast, where the total match score was 399 runs. Both teams boast a powerpacked batting lineup and on a good batting surface, expect another high scoring game in today's game.
Setting a total on the wicket is challenging as teams have chased big scores comfortably. The side chasing the score has won the last four out of five games. Teams like chasing the score at this venue. The side winning the toss in this game would invite the opponent to bat first.
The Punjab Kings have been nervous starters in the IPL and carry this baggage of history. The batting lineup is strong, but the team lacks the teeth in the bowling attack. The onus would be on the bowlers to set up a win. The Gujarat Titans play at home and have a strong batting lineup. They have enjoyed a good record at this venue, putting them ahead in this game.
