MATCH PREVIEW     

The race for the Top 4 position in the Indian Premier League 2025 is on. We are in the 51st game, where the Gujarat Titans will be up against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Titans suffered a shocking loss in the last game against the Rajasthan Royals. While they had runs on the board, the bowling attack let them down. The team will look to bounce back and claim the top spot on the points table. The Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated the Chennai Super Kings in the last game. But the team has struggled with consistency and shall start this game with lower odds. It is a must-win game for the Sunrisers, and they must put in all they have. As two batting powerhouses take the field, we expect a good contest.  

Gujarat Titans Preview     

Shubman Gill's team was left shellshocked in the last game by Rajasthan Royals’ Vaibhav Suryavanshi's heroics. They did well with the bat to post a big total, but a poor show with the ball saw them going down by 8 wickets. The team has enjoyed a good season and shall start ahead on cricket betting apps. The Sunrisers are a batting powerhouse, and Gill would expect a strong comeback from his bowlers in this game.  

Sai Sudharsan is the leading run-getter this season and must deliver a strong start in this game with Shubman Gill. Jos Buttler has been in good form and will look to add runs in the middle order with Rahul Tewatia and Washington Sundar. Shahrukh Khan, Sherfane Rutherford, and Rashid Khan add depth to the batting lineup, and they will look to take on SRH’s bowling, which has struggled this season.  

The bowling attack took a beating in the last game. The team needs early strikes from Ishant Sharma and Mohammad Siraj in the game. Rashid Khan found his form in the last game and must do well in the middle overs with Prasidh Krishna. Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore will look to do well in the supporting role with Washington Sundar, as the SRH batters will come hard at them.  

Expected Starting XI for Gujarat Titans     

Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (wk), Washington Sundar, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Sherfane Rutherford, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Ishant Sharma (Impact Player) 

Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview     

Pat Cummins' side defeated the Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets in the last game. With this win, the team has kept its hopes alive to reach the playoffs. However, they need to win all games from here to reach the next round, and Cummins expects a strong fightback from his players. They have lost the last three games at this venue, which will be on their minds. They must beat the odds on cricket betting sites to win this game.  

Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head haven’t been consistent this year, causing problems for the team. They need to put up a big partnership at the top. Ishan Kishan played an important role in the last game and must build partnerships with Heinrich Klaasen and Aniket Verma. Kamindu Mendis and Nitish Kumar Reddy will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.  

The bowling attack will face a big test in this game, and they need early breakthroughs from the new-ball pair of Mohammad Shami and Pat Cummins. Jaydev Unadkat and Harshal Patel must do well in the middle overs as they have struggled this season. Zeeshan Ansari, Kamindu Mendis, and Abhishek Sharma will look to do well in the supporting role.  

Expected Starting XI for Sunrisers Hyderabad     

Pat Cummins (c), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Aniket Verma, Kamindu Mendis, Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Zeeshan Ansari, Mohammed Shami, Travis Head (Impact Player)  

TOSS: To Bat First      

The team chasing the score has lost the last four out of five games. The record favors sides that bat first, as the slow wicket in the second half makes it tough to chase scores. Both the teams shall have this on their minds at the toss, and the side winning it shall look to bat first.       

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

We expect a warm and humid evening in Ahmedabad. The batting surface has been excellent, and batsmen have scored runs easily. The spinners will aim to use the slowness on the surface, which we have seen in the last few games. It is a high-pressure contest, and the side batting first will be happy to have 180 runs on the board.  

OUR PREDICTION      

The Sunrisers Hyderabad have their backs against the wall. They can’t afford to lose any more games this season, and pressure will be on them. The top order has struggled with consistency, and the team expects a strong show. The Gujarat Titans have a strong batting lineup, and the team has won the last three games at home. We expect a close game, but according to our cricket betting tips, the Titans have an edge.   

Our prediction is for Gujarat Titans to win
