GT vs PBKS Weather Forecast: Will rain spoil the fun of the match? Know how the weather will be in Ahmedabad today

GT vs PBKS weather forecast: The 46th match of IPL 2026 will be played on Sunday, May 3 at the world’s largest cricket stadium, Narendra Modi Stadium. This clash between Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings will start at 7:30 pm. The effect of the scorching heat of Western India will be clearly visible during the match, where the atmosphere will remain quite hot even after the sun sets.

Weather patterns: When and how will the condition be?

From 7:30 pm to 11:00 pm, the temperature will be around 35°C at the beginning of the match, which may come down to 32-33°C by the end of the game. Humidity around 35% to 45%. There is no chance of rain. There will be a light breeze, but there is little hope of getting much relief from the heat.

The sky will be completely clear during the match, which means that the spectators will get to watch the entire game without any interruption. However, due to the intense heat throughout the day, players and spectators will feel the humidity and heat even at night.

Which areas will be affected?

The weather pattern in these major parts of Ahmedabad will be like this.

The evening will be very hot due to surface heat in Motera and Chandkheda (near the stadium). The weather will be dry in Sabarmati and Ashram Road and there will be slight humidity. Due to less wind in Navrangpura and central Ahmedabad, heat will persist continuously. Satellite and western suburbs may get slightly better air, yet the atmosphere will remain hot.

Effect of weather on match and pitch

Even though the match is in the evening, the lingering heat of the afternoon will test the players in the first innings. Initially the pitch may remain dry and hard, due to which it may take some time to adjust. As the night progresses, dew will start playing its role. In the second innings, due to dew, the ball may become wet and slippery, due to which it will be difficult for the bowlers to get grip. In such a situation, the team winning the toss may prefer to bowl first, so that later it becomes easier to bat by taking advantage of the dew.

What will be special?

The pitch of Narendra Modi Stadium is always known for good bounce and pace, which gives the batsmen the opportunity to play shots freely. At the same time, bowlers who change their pace and use the cutter properly can turn the game in their favor. The good news for cricket lovers is that there is no danger of rain in the match. The match will be completed, only the one who will execute his strategy correctly amidst this heat of Ahmedabad and the dew of the second innings will win.
