GT vs SRH Match Prediction & Analysis
Gujarat Titans (GT) face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 51 of IPL 2025 this Wednesday in Ahmedabad. With six wins from nine matches, Gujarat are sitting in third and have looked steady so far. Hyderabad, in contrast, have found it toughโjust three wins in nine and not much consistency to speak of. GT already took one over SRH earlier in the tournament, and based on form, theyโll head into this one with the edge.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Gujarat Titans Preview
Gujarat Titans werenโt expected to make a deep run, but theyโve surprised everyone with six wins from nine games, placing them third on the table. Their last outing didnโt go to plan, thanks to a stunning hundred from 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, but thereโs no reason for them to hit the panic button just yet.
At the top, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler have kept things steady. Sudharsan, in particular, is having an outrageous seasonโ456 runs in nine games, averaging 50.66, and scoring at 150. Gill isnโt far behind either. With 389 runs in nine innings at 156.22, and a solid 84 off 50 in the last match against Rajasthan, heโs starting to look dangerous again.
Rutherford has been quietly effective in the middle with 201 runs across seven innings at 40.20, while Tewatia has chipped in with his usual late-over cameos.
The bowling unitโs done its part too. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna have picked up 29 wickets together, while Sai Kishore has added 12 more and kept things under control with an economy of 8.53. Siraj has been effective early, and Kishore has kept it tidy through the middle overs. Rashid Khan is slowly getting back to his best, finishing with 1-25 and 2-24 in his last two matches. If the conditions hold, this attack could come into play once again
Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview
Sunrisers Hyderabad havenโt had much go their wayโjust three wins from nine has them stuck in ninth place. When theyโve won, itโs mostly been because the batters went hard and connected. But when the top order gets knocked over early, the rest usually canโt steady things.
Thatโs what theyโll want to avoid against GT, against whom theyโve already lost a match at home. For that to happen, their top-order simply must click. If Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head click at the top like they have in a couple of games, SRH can set up a strong total. Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar come in after that, and while none of them have put up consistent big scores yet, all three have shown signs of finding their touch in the last few games. Thereโs a chance oneโor moreโsteps up this time.
Aniket Verma has been one of the rare positives in a tough season. Heโs finished innings strongly and is striking at 161, which gives them late momentum when needed.
Bowling has been a weak spot. Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins havenโt been reliable, though they did find some rhythm in the last outing against CSK. Harshal Patel has been more dependableโmixing up his pace well and taking wickets through the middle. Heโs now their top wicket-taker, coming off a sharp 4 for 28 against CSK.
Weather Conditions
The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium has been great for T20 cricket โ itโs good for batting but has something in it for pacers and slower bowlers too. Batting tends to get tougher in the second innings as the wickets starts to become slower.
The weather in Ahmedabad will be hot and dry with no forecast of rain.
