Gujarat Titans (GT) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are set to clash in a crucial IPL 2025 encounter at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. GT is eyeing to get back to winning ways, whereas SRH need to win to stay in the playoff race.
GT, led by Shubman Gill, have been one of the most consistent teams this season, leveraging their strong home record and balanced squad. Their batting lineup, featuring Jos Buttler and Sai Sudharsan, has delivered match-winning performances, while their bowling attack, spearheaded by Mohammed Siraj and Sai Kishore, has been formidable. The team would be looking to start afresh after a nightmare of a loss against Rajasthan Royals in their previous fixture.
SRH, under Pat Cummins, have struggled for momentum, with their batting showing flashes of brilliance but lacking consistency. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have provided explosive starts inconsistently, but the middle order has been shaky. With both teams desperate for points, expect a high-intensity battle where GT will aim to solidify their top-two aspirations, while SRH will fight to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Let’s delve deeper into this post for the GT vs SRH Dream11 Prediction.
Date: 2nd May 2025 Time: 7:30 PM IST Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
Matches Played: 5 GT won: 3 SRH won: 1 No Result: 1 Tied: 0
The Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad have squared off against each other 5 times. The Titans have the upper hand with 3 wins, whereas the Sunrisers have won only once in the 2022 edition by 8 wickets. One game between these two sides was abandoned due to rain last season.
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is known for its batting-friendly surface, offering good bounce and pace early on. Batters can play their shots freely, making it an ideal venue for high-scoring encounters. However, as the match progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, bringing spinners into play. Fast bowlers who hit the deck hard can extract some movement, especially under lights. A par score at this venue is expected to be around 180-200, making the toss crucial in determining match strategies.
