To date, both teams have played against each other in 4 matches. The "Gujarat Titans" have won 3 of them, while SRH has won once.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Having suffered 3 losses in 4 matches, “Sunrisers Hyderabad” stylishly bounced back in their last match against “Lucknow Super Giants,” crushing the team by 10 wickets. Now the hosts will try to build on this winning momentum and climb into the top two spots. vTravis Head and Abhishek Sharma are in terrific form with the bat, scoring runs at will. Head is the team’s top scorer with 533 runs and a phenomenal strike rate of 201.89. The team hopes this duo will give them another strong start. vThe dominance of these two at the top is so great that they end up covering some weaknesses in the middle order. Betting on SRH to score more runs than their opponents in the powerplay, hit more sixes, and have a better opening partnership has been very fruitful so far.

The form of the middle order is a bit of a concern for SRH, as apart from Heinrich Klaasen, none of the batsmen have performed well. He has also faced difficulties in recent matches as teams have found ways to counter him. However, the emergence of Nitish Reddy has helped SRH find better balance.

The bowlers have performed well for SRH. T. Natarajan is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 15 wickets, while Pat Cummins and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have a combined total of 29 wickets. The spin department mainly consists of all-rounders and does not pose a real threat to the opponent.

SRH’s game plan has been to strike hard with the bat and ball early in the respective powerplays. If they lose early wickets or if the opponent starts well, SRH might face problems.

Gujarat Titans

The “Gujarat Titans” last match against KKR was abandoned due to rain, forcing them to share points. As a result, the team has officially been eliminated and has nothing left to play for except pride.

Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill demonstrated a brilliant partnership, scoring over 200 runs in the match against CSK. They played freely and showed that they still have the fight in them. The problem for GT has been the lack of intent at the top, but perhaps at this late stage, with nothing to lose, they can consistently find that higher gear.

Despite having some quality middle-order players, the “Titans” have often failed to achieve big results. David Miller, Vijay Shankar, and Shahrukh Khan have all struggled to perform so far. This lineup, in its current form, does not inspire much confidence.

The bowling has also been unimpressive. Although Mohit Sharma is the leading wicket-taker with 13 wickets, he has been conceding around 11 runs per over. Umesh Yadav and Sandeep Warrier have also failed to deliver, while the famous spin duo of Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad have managed to collect only 18 wickets combined.

The loss of Mohammed Shami has proven to be crucial for GT. We also believe that the inefficiency demonstrated by Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad in the middle overs has been unexpected and has significantly hurt them.

Hyderabad has often outperformed their opponents, and we believe they have a good chance to do so in this match as well. They played particularly well in their last two home matches and have a good chance of winning again.
