Live GT vs RR IPL 2023: That is it!

The clash between the top-ranked and third-ranked teams on the points table, who were the finalists in the previous season, was a perfect display of why they hold their positions. The match was a neck-to-neck fight that left cricket as the real winner. At Ahmedabad, the contest between two heavyweights resembled a boxing match with each team countering the other's punches. Hetmyer delivered the knockout blow with some phenomenal batting. The game started with an impressive display of swing bowling by Pandya and Shami, who took out Jaiswal and Buttler for just one run. Samson and Padikkal counter-attacked with some aggressive batting, but Samson stood out with three consecutive sixes off Rashid. Hetmyer later joined the party and carried the momentum forward along with Jurel, sealing the victory for RR.

And to compound Joseph's misery, the last ball is smoked for a six! After the conclusion of the 16th over, the score for the team stands at 134/5.

Live GT vs RR IPL 2023: Pitch Report

Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium has proved to be a batting paradise, thanks to its flat track and even bounce, making it easier for batters to score runs. While pacers may find some swing in the early overs, batsmen can expect a comfortable time in the middle. Furthermore, the stadium's surroundings are also favorable for batsmen, with relatively short boundaries and a fast-paced outfield. These factors combined make it a challenging ground for bowlers and an ideal venue for high-scoring matches.
