What did the captains say?
Shubman Gill ( Gujarat Titans captain)“I mean, we’re going to see about that. You know, I’m not the one about stats and all these things, but we were also looking to bowl first. But this looks like a better wicket than we have had in the past couple of matches on this particular wicket. (On the mindset of the team) It’s all about being consistent, being consistent with your thought process, being consistent with your execution as much as possible. And this is the last bit of the end of the tournament and it’s very important to be able to bring your A-game and give it your best. We’re going with the same team,” GT captain Shubman Gill said.
Pat Cummins (Sunrisers Hyderabad captain):“We’re going to have a bowl first. We’ve not played here before, so have a first look at it with the ball, and then whatever we need to chase, hopefully gets a little bit easier later on. (The influence of data suggesting that teams batting first have won more games on this pitch) A little bit. I mean, there’s always different variables as well. I think there’s been one or two blowout wins where they’ve bowled them out pretty cheaply in the first innings. Yeah, you look at it all. It’s still a bit of a gut feel. No one can really read pitches perfectly. But this is a crucial game and it’s an intense time of the tournament. (On this game feeling like a knockout before a knockout) I mean, no, not really. I think we’ve kind of earned the right to give ourselves a few chances and make that final. So we’ve got three games left. We haven’t played for a little while. (On GT having a superior record over SRH) Yeah, Abhi (Abhishek Sharma) just mentioned that in the change room. I said perfect, nothing to lose now. All the pressure’s all on them. No changes.,” SRH captain Pat Cummins said at the toss.

While Ahmedabad is typically known for high scores, the last four games here in IPL 2026 have seen a shift, with teams batting first failing to cross the 200-run mark. The surface has offered a bit more grip for spinners like Rashid Khan and Eshan Malinga. However, with the dew factor expected in the second half, the captain winning the toss will likely choose to bowl first, with the side batting first having 52% chance of winning as opposed to the 48% that the side chasing has.

Despite GT’s home advantage and superior head-to-head record, SRH (50.7% win probability) are marginal favorites tonight. Their ability to put up “out-of-reach” totals and the lethal form of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma in the Powerplay might be too much for GT to handle. If SRH’s Eshan Malinga (16 wickets) can find early breakthroughs, expect the Orange Army to reclaim the #1 spot.
Scenario 1: If SRH bat first and score 195+, their bowling depth should defend it.
Scenario 2: If GT chase, the battle between Shubman Gill and Pat Cummins will decide the outcome.
