IPL 2026, Match 46: GT vs PBKS — time, venue, standings and match officials
Punjab Kings, who lead the IPL 2026 standings, meet Gujarat Titans in Match 46 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 3. The contest is scheduled for 7:30 PM IST and is the second game of Sunday's double-header. Punjab arrive after their first defeat of the season, a setback against Rajasthan Royals, but remain well placed.
They have 13 points from six wins in eight matches, with one fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders washed out. Gujarat have been more up-and-down but come in with momentum, having won their last two matches. They sit fifth with 10 points from nine games (five wins, four losses).
On form, PBKS look a well-balanced unit, though their bowling has occasionally leaked runs. Arshdeep Singh has had a mixed tournament so far, while Vijaykumar Vyshak has impressed with the ball. For GT, the top order has been prolific, but a fragile middle order has left them heavily reliant on early runs.
Shubman Gill captains Gujarat Titans and Shreyas Iyer leads Punjab Kings. The on-field umpires for the match are KN Anantha Padmanabhan and Parashar Joshi.
