The highly anticipated clash between Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 faced a delay as the toss was postponed due to bad weather in Ahmedabad.
The Narendra Modi Stadium was hit by a slight drizzle, leading to the field being covered as both teams eagerly awaited the start of the match. Kolkata Knight Riders have already secured their spot in the IPL playoffs with 18 points after a crucial win against Mumbai Indians at the iconic Eden Gardens.
In a rain-affected game reduced to 16 overs per side, KKR’s spinners put up a stellar performance to restrict Mumbai Indians to 139/8 in their chase of 158 runs, securing their place in the playoffs. This victory also saw KKR equal the record for the most wins at a single venue in IPL history, alongside Mumbai Indians.
On the other hand, Gujarat Titans’ chances of making it to the playoffs are slim, but not impossible. With two games remaining, they will need to win both matches and rely on their net run rate to secure a spot in the playoffs.
As fans eagerly await the outcome of this crucial match, both teams have announced their squads for the game. With star players on both sides, the clash promises to be an exciting one for cricket enthusiasts.
