Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans IPL FAQs

It has been a dire start to the season for Hyderabad as their three consecutive losses condemned them to the bottom of the points tally. Their aggressive batting that won them games comfortably last season seems to be a concern, although they are unlikely to let that go. I have a feeling their resurgence could kickstart here at a venue they have enjoyed playing at.

Hyderabad won four of their last five completed matches played at this venue.
Gujarat lost five of their last eight completed matches away from home.
Gujarat lost seven of their last 12 matches in this competition.
Hyderabad haven’t lost more than three matches in a row over the last two seasons.

Head to Head

These sides have played each other four times so far, with the Titans dominating the sequence with a 3-1 record. That doesn’t include the last season’s abandoned match at this venue without a ball being bowled.

Last season, these sides also met in Ahmedabad, when the Titans won by seven wickets. Hyderabad struggled with the bat to score 162 for 8, with no batter scoring more than 29. The chase was anchored by Sai Sudharsan (45) as Gujarat won in the final over. Interestingly, that match featured Head-Abhishek and Gill-Sudharsan as non-openers.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad are stuck to the bottom of the points tally with only two points from four matches. They started with a win against Rajasthan (44 runs) at this venue but were pegged back by losses to Lucknow (five wickets), Delhi (seven wickets), and Kolkata (80 runs), of which the last two were on the road.

Playing at home gives them some comfort, but SRH hope that their batters can regain form. Travis Head (SR 191.78) and Abhishek Sharma (SR 137.50) may have to find a new gear to slow down and respect the bowlers when things aren’t working for them.

The bowlers haven’t quite joined the party either, with only Zeeshan Ansari and Harshal Patel taking four wickets each and conceding fewer than ten runs per over.

Simarjeet Singh could lose out to Jaydev Unadkat, while Eshan Malinga could be an option with the ball.

Gujarat Titans Form

Gujarat Titans are fourth in the points tally before the start of this weekend’s matches, with four points from three matches and a healthy NRR of 0.807.

The Titans started the season with an 11-run loss to Punjab Kings at home but soon got their mojo back with a 36-run home win over Mumbai and an eight-wicket away win over Bengaluru.

Sai Sudharsan (186 runs, SR 157.62) continues to be a consistent force, while the return to form of Jos Buttler with two 50s is a bonus. The bowlers are led by the frugal Sai Kishore (six wickets, ER 7.41) and the energetic Mohammed Siraj (five wickets, ER 8.91), who happens to be a local boy here.

Kagiso Rabada has left the squad for personal reasons, and the Titans may opt for Gerald Coetzee to strengthen their bowling.
