Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are set to face Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday, April 6.
Last season’s finalists, SRH, currently find themselves at the bottom of the standings. A string of three consecutive defeats has put them in a tough spot, and they’ll be eager to bounce back. The main concern for the Orange Army has been their batting, particularly with their top-order failing to fire in recent games, leaving the team struggling to post or chase competitive totals.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans are in fine form. They’ve started strong with back-to-back wins, including a confidence-boosting victory against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on the road. Facing SRH presents a new test, but GT appear well-prepared for the challenge.
Pitch Report
The surface at Uppal traditionally favors batters, though it does offer something for the fast bowlers early on and gives spinners a chance due to the ground’s dimensions. So far in IPL 2025, captains have chosen to bowl first in 16 out of 18 matches, including Rajasthan Royals when they played in Hyderabad recently.
Head-to-Head
In completed encounters, GT hold a 3-1 lead over SRH. Last year, the Titans secured a comfortable seven-wicket win at home, while the return match in Hyderabad was washed out.
Weather Forecast
Sunday in Hyderabad is expected to be hot and slightly humid, with temperatures ranging from 37°C during the day to 24°C at night. Rain is not expected to interrupt play.
Match Prediction
Despite their recent setbacks, SRH have a strong track record at home. With the firepower in their lineup, they still possess the capability to outscore the opposition if their top order clicks.
