The Gujarat Giants will host the Rajasthan Royals on 9th April 2025 in the 23rd game of IPL 2025. Rajasthan and Gujarat both are coming into this game with a win from their last encounters, so they will definitely have high confidence. However, Gujarat, being the home team and an in-form squad, is a great contender for the win in this game. But Rajasthan has a 100% record at Ahmedabad against GT, so it will be interesting to see who will win today’s IPL match.

Pitch Report: GT vs RR, 23rd Match, Ahmedabad, April 09, 2025
The Narendra Modi Stadium is well-known for its batting-friendly conditions, which frequently result in high-scoring games, as evidenced by the inaugural IPL 2025 match played at this stadium. The pitch has a steady bounce, and the average first-inning total usually surpasses 200. While fast bowlers may benefit from early movement, the surface progressively slows down, allowing spinners to become more successful as the game goes on. The hard, dry course enables a fair duel between bat and ball. With sunny skies in the forecast, expect a thrilling match. Although the pitch tends to slow in the later stages, captains may still choose to chase, given the venue’s history of favouring teams batting second.
