Today, April 4th, 2026, is the first T20 cricket double header of the IPL 2026 season. For the entire month of April, Sundays and Saturdays will be doubleheaders. The second half of this doubleheader is between the Gujarat Titans and the Rajasthan Royals. Unlike the other major sports leagues, like the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL, doubleheaders are much less common in the IPL. Here are some match predictions, a pitch report, and the playing XI for this match. CricTracker offers up a report on the pitch prior to the Saturday match. “The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad isn’t an ideal ground for teams that prefer batting second,” writes the outlet. “As the trend was witnessed during the 2025 season of the tournament, seven out of the nine games played here were won by the teams defending their first-innings’ total.” “Pacers are expected to generate assistance, while batters will get full value for their shots due to a quick spread in the outfield.”
