Happy are the Kshatriyas, O Arjuna! who are called upon to fight in such a battle that comes of itself as an open door to heaven.

Happy are the warriors, son of Pritha, who meet such a battle, come of its own accord, an open door to heaven.

Krishna describes a battle that comes by chance, unsought, as an open door to heaven for a warrior. The warriors who meet such a fight are called fortunate. Within the epic's code, death in a righteous battle was believed to lead to heaven, so this is an appeal to an ideal Arjuna shares. The verse belongs to a short sequence that argues from ordinary values: honour, reward and reputation. These are not the Gita's final teaching, but they meet Arjuna where his own culture stands.
