## Pitch Report & Conditions

The pitch at New Chandigarh’s Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium offers a mixed bag — teams have crossed 200 here but also struggled to reach 120. Spin tends to factor in the second half of innings, while the quick outfield rewards clean ball-striking.

## Match Prediction: Who Wins?

PBKS reached their second-ever IPL final in 2025, losing narrowly to RCB by just six runs. GT, meanwhile, finished third and lost to Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator — both sides are hungry for a strong start.

GT holds the edge on paper with a power-packed lineup featuring [Rashid Khan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashid_Khan) and Kagiso Rabada with the ball, and Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler at the top. However, on a neutral home venue for PBKS, Shreyas Iyer’s leadership and Arshdeep Singh’s death-over mastery could tilt the game. **Slight edge: Gujarat Titans**, but don’t rule out a PBKS upset.
