Heading towards the 25th game of the season between Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders in Ahmedabad tonight, Gujarat Titans come in with back-to-back wins, which should give them confidence as they look to build momentum.
Gujarat Titans arrive with back-to-back wins and better balance. Their bowling has held up, and Jos Buttler finding form helps. But their middle order still looks fragile if early wickets fall.
GT Probable XI Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Siraj, Kagiso Rabada, Ashok Sharma
Impact subs: Prasidh Krishna, Shahrukh Khan,Kumar Kushagra

Pitch report: Clear skies are expected, with high temperatures through the day, though a 7:30 PM start should ease conditions. The only game here saw Gujarat Titans nearly chase 210 against Rajasthan Royals, suggesting another high-scoring contest.
Head to head: Gujarat Titans lead 3-1, but Kolkata Knight Riders will recall 2023 here, when Rinku Singh hit five sixes in the last over. Can they repeat that?
Kolkata Knight Riders are already under pressure with one point from five games. The batting order remains unsettled, with players pushed into unfamiliar roles and little return against spin. Apart from Angkrish Raghuvanshi, there has been limited impact.
