TEAMS PREVIEW
Gujarat Titans Preview
Gujarat Titans werenβt expected to make a deep run, but theyβve surprised everyone with six wins from nine games, placing them third on the table. Their last outing didnβt go to plan, thanks to a stunning hundred from 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, but thereβs 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.Β Sudharsan, in particular, is having an outrageous seasonβ456 runs in nine games, averaging 50.66, and scoring at 150.Β Gill isnβt far behind either. With 389 runs in nine innings at 156.22, and a solid 84 off 50 in the last match against Rajasthan, heβs 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 unitβs done its part too.Β MohammedΒ 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.Β 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 havenβt had much go their wayβjust three wins from nine has them stuck in ninth place. When theyβve won, itβs mostly been because the batters went hard and connected. But when the top order gets knocked over early, the rest usually canβt steady things.
Thatβs what theyβll want to avoid against GT, against whom theyβve 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.Β 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. Thereβs a chance oneβor moreβsteps up this time.
Aniket Verma has been one of the rare positives in a tough season. Heβs 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 havenβt been reliable, though they did find some rhythm in the last outing against CSK. Harshal Patel has been more dependableβmixing up his pace well and taking wickets through the middle. Heβs now their top wicket-taker, coming off a sharp 4 for 28 against CSK.Β
Weather Conditions
The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium has been great for T20 cricket β itβs 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.
