In the 19th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) tonight, i.e., April 6, at 7:30 PM IST, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
The Orange Army has struggled early in the campaign, placing last with just one win in four games. With the batting struggling in the last three games, there must have been a lot of discussion in the drawing room. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma must provide powerful and clever starts, while Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Kamindu Mendis have to strike in the middle order. Heinrich Klaasen, Aniket Verma, and Pat Cummins all provide firepower in the lower middle order but need to be steady about it. Mohammad Shami and Cummins will look to take early breakthroughs, while Zeeshan Ansari and Mendis aim to dominate the middle overs. Simarjeet Singh and Harshal Patel are expected to provide reliable support.
The Shubman Gill-led team is confident following an eight-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The batting lineup is in fantastic shape, with Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, and the skipper scoring top runs. Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan are also looking promising, but need to show performances. Furthermore, Rahul Tewatia, Arshad Khan, and Rashid Khan will look to accelerate in the closing overs. Despite Kagiso Rabada‘s unexpected departure from the bowling attack, Mohammed Siraj and Arshad Khan are anticipated to make early breakthroughs. Prasidh Krishna and Ishant Sharma will manage the middle overs, while Rashid Khan has to restore form with Sai Kishore to enhance the attack.
Head-to-Head:
GT and SRH have encountered each other five times in the IPL, of which GT have won 3 while SRH have won just once. One match ended without a result.
