SRH vs GT 2024, IPL Match Today: Playing XI prediction, head-to-head stats, key players, pitch report and weather update

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans IPL Match Today: Sunrisers Hyderabad need just one point to qualify for the play-offs but they’ll be hoping to land all 4 in their two remaining matches against the Gujarat Titans and the Punjab Kings in order to have a chance to finish in the Top 2 of the table. With Rajasthan Royals losing to Punjab Kings, the road became a lot smoother for SRH, provided they don’t slip up or weather does not ruin their plans.

For the Gujarat Titans, it’s back to the drawing board before the mega auction, with the 1-time champions already eliminated from this edition of the IPL. For the remainder of the tournamernt, they will be playing for pride, hoping to spoil the other teams’ tournament.

Playing XI predictions for the SRH vs GT IPL match today:

Sunrisers Hyderabad predicted XI: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Nitish Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Sanvir Singh, Pat Cummins (c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth.

Impact Player: T Natarajan

Player to watch out for from SRH: All eyes will be on pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar who has recently found his mojo, taking 11 wickets in this edition of the IPL. Kumar has been a bane to Gujarat skipper Shubman Gill’s existence, dismissing him thrice while yielding just 57 runs. With the form he is in and Gill’s inconsistent run in the IPL, you will be well placed to not bet against the seamer.

Gujarat Titans predicted XI: Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Shahrukh Khan, David Miller, Matthew Wade (wk), Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Umesh Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Kartik Tyagi.

Impact player: Sandeep Warrier

Player to watch out for from GT: Skipper Gill roared back into form in the match against the Chennai Super Kings, scoring a blistering century and bringing up a 210-run first wicket partnership with Sai Sudharsan. He would have liked to flex his muscles against his former team Kolkata Knight Riders but weather had played spoilsport so tonight, he’ll hope to sign off the IPL with another strong performance with the bat against SRH.
