Gujarat Titans take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2023 Indian Premier League.
The match is scheduled to start at 7.30pm local time (3pm BST) on Monday, May 15.
The match will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Gujarat Titans remain top of the table, but they will be looking to bounce back from a 27-run defeat to the Mumbai Indians in their last game.
The defending champions have been impressive this year but have not been unbeatable and Sunrisers will take heart from the five-run loss that the Titans had to the lowly Delhi Capitals last week.
Sunrisers are sitting second from bottom with only four victories to their name so far this season. They have struggled for consistent run scorers, but they have spread the runs out recently, pushing the Lucknow Super Giants close in their last game.
They have shown signs of life recently with an impressive four-wicket win over the Rajasthan Royals last Sunday.

Gujarat Titans remain without Josh Little who is on international duty, but they have no fresh injury concerns.
Shubman Gill has been the key player for Titans, hitting 475 runs, backed up by captain Hardik Pandya who has scored 281. Neither of them where able to get a decent score on the board in their recent loss to Mumbai Indians.
Titans will hope for one of them to step up to recover from the defeat to MI. Mayank Markande has been the most trustworthy with the ball taking 12 wickets.
The Sunrisers' spinners have shouldered the wicket-taking responsibilities, but they need more from their powerplay bowlers which has been Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Marco Jansen.
The Sunrisers have struggled even more with the bat with Harry Brook having been left on the bench for their last game.
Heinrich Klaasen is the team's top scorer with 262 runs but the Titans electric bowling line-up will be licking their lips.
Rashid Khan has 23 wickets while Mohammed Shami is not far behind with 19. They will be confident of suppressing a struggling Sunrisers batting line-up.

Gujarat Titans are strong favourites and can be backed at 4/7 while Sunrisers Hyderabad are the outsiders at 5/4.
Titans have been stung at home before by a team at the bottom. It is unlikely they will allow that to happen again and should brush Sunrisers aside to get back to winning ways.
