IPL — Gujarat Titans take on Punjab Kings at Narendra Modi Stadium (Ahmedabad) on Sunday, May 3, 2026. 

Gujarat Titans (GT) will host Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 46 of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL 2026) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 3. The Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans have found form at the right time, winning five of their nine games so far.

On the other hand, Punjab Kings (PBKS) have been in sublime form in the ongoing IPL 2026. However, the Rajasthan Royals managed to break PBKS’s winning streak this season. Now, Shreyas Iyer’s PBKS are aiming to make a strong comeback against GT in Ahmedabad.

The hosts are coming into this match with a stunning four-wicket win over the defending champions, RCB, and must be keen on maintaining the form against PBKS, who faced a crushing six-wicket loss to the Rajasthan Royals in their previous IPL 2026 clash.
