After a surprising defeat to the Rajasthan Royals, the Gujarat Titans (GT) will look to get back on track as they take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a reverse fixture at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday, 2 May.
A win for GT will propel them back into the top two, and despite their recent setback, they remain well-positioned for a strong finish to the league stage. However, they’ll need to avoid another collapse like the one against the Royals. For SRH, it’s a must-win encounter. Still in contention for the playoffs, the Sunrisers must win all their remaining matches to keep their hopes alive.

The surface in Ahmedabad offers something for everyone. Batters can rely on consistent pace and bounce, pacers benefit from early movement, and spinners get some assistance with grip. Notably, five out of eight innings at this venue so far have seen scores exceeding 200. Teams batting first have won three of the four matches played here.
Head-to-Head
Gujarat Titans lead the rivalry 4-1, having won the last four meetings between the two sides. Earlier this season, GT defeated SRH in their clash in Hyderabad.
Weather Forecast

Gujarat Titans go into the contest as favourites, but SRH possess a dangerous batting line-up that, on its day, can take down any opponent. Expect a competitive clash with plenty of fireworks.
