Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are gearing up for a high-stakes clash against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the iconic Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad this Sunday, April 6.
SRH, last season’s finalists, have found themselves in a precarious position this year, languishing at the bottom of the IPL standings. Three consecutive defeats have left the Orange Army in dire need of a turnaround. Their batting woes, particularly the misfiring top order, have been the Achilles’ heel, leaving the team struggling to post or chase competitive scores.
On the other hand, Gujarat Titans are riding a wave of momentum. With back-to-back victories, including a morale-boosting win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on hostile turf, GT are looking formidable. As they prepare to face SRH, the Titans seem poised to extend their winning streak.
Pitch Report
The Uppal pitch traditionally leans in favor of batsmen, offering a balanced contest with early assistance for pacers and spinners making the most of the ground’s dimensions. So far in IPL 2025, captains have opted to bowl first in 16 out of 18 matches, a trend that continued when Rajasthan Royals recently played in Hyderabad.
Head-to-Head
GT have dominated their encounters against SRH, leading the head-to-head tally 3-1. Last season, the Titans cruised to a comfortable seven-wicket victory at home, while the return fixture in Hyderabad was unfortunately washed out.
Weather Forecast
Hyderabad on Sunday will witness scorching heat with a touch of humidity. Daytime temperatures are expected to soar to 37°C, cooling down to 24°C by night. Thankfully, rain is unlikely to play spoilsport.
Match Prediction
Despite their recent struggles, SRH have a formidable record at home. With a star-studded lineup, they have the potential to outscore any opposition if their top order finds its rhythm. However, GT’s current form makes them slight favorites heading into this encounter.
