Strong record of Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad
Gujarat Titans have performed brilliantly in their last two home matches. The team’s bowlers had restricted strong batting line-ups like defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings to a score of less than 170 runs. The batsmen benefited from this and players like Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan and Jos Buttler achieved the target easily. Apart from this, SRH’s record has also not been good in Ahmedabad. Hyderabad has lost all three of its matches played here against Gujarat since IPL 2023.
GT’s bowling became the biggest strength
Their bowlers have played a major role in the success of Gujarat Titans. Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj are consistently bowling good lengths and hard lengths in the powerplay. Rashid Khan has also returned to his old rhythm this season. He has taken maximum 13 wickets between 7th to 16th over, due to which Gujarat’s hold in the middle overs remains strong. Jason Holder has also proved useful at every stage. His bowling especially in the death overs has been important for the team.
SRH batsmen can change the match
Although Gujarat seems to have the upper hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad cannot be taken lightly. The aggressive start of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma can spoil the strategy of GT bowlers. Apart from this, Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen are also in great form. Klaasen is going through the most successful phase of his IPL career this season and is just 6 runs away from completing 500 runs.
Eyes will also be on Ishaan Malinga
SRH also has a unique fast bowler like Ishan Malinga, who can trouble the batsmen with his different bowling style. Along with him, there are bowlers in the team who have the ability to save big scores. Both the teams are coming after winning their previous matches, hence the possibility of major changes in the playing eleven is considered less.
