The IPL 2026 Qualifier 1 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans will be played on May 26 at 7:30 PM IST at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala. The pitch in Dharamsala is generally good for batting, with short boundaries helping batters score quickly. Spinners may also get some assistance in the middle overs as the surface slows down later in the match.

Teams could prefer to bowl first because dew is expected in the second innings, making it easier for batters to chase targets under lights. Fans can expect a high-scoring contest if the top-order batters settle early. The weather is likely to remain clear during the match, with warm conditions expected throughout the evening. Fans can watch the game live on Star Sports Network and stream it on JioHotstar.
