Gujarat Titans (GT) will play their third home match of IPL 2024 tonight against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Narendra Modi Stadium. GT have won both of their home fixtures this season and will start as the favorites against PBKS.
PBKS started their season with a victory at home against the Delhi Capitals, but they have struggled to earn points away from home in IPL 2024. The Kings have suffered losses against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Lucknow Super Giants in their away fixtures so far.
Before GT host their third match of the tournament, here's a look at the pitch history and IPL records of the world's largest cricket stadium.
