GT vs RR : Pitch Report
At Narendra Modi Stadium, the pitch is favourable for batters. Since the stadium has both Red soil and Black soil pitches, so if the match is played on red-soil, it will help pacers in bounce which make it difficult for batters to score runs. In case the match is played on black-soil, it will aid spinners and slow bowlers. Dew is likely to impact the latter part of the innings.
Out of the 20 matches played here, 8 have been won by the team batting first whereas 12 by the chasing team.
The toss winning team would prefer to bowl first.
GT vs RR : Head to Head
Both teams have locked horns thrice in IPL history, out of which all the games have been won by GT.
