SRH vs GT Head-to-head Stats

Gujarat Titans holds a 3-1 edge over Sunrisers Hyderabad in terms of head-to-head battles. While the ‘Orange Army’ emerged victorious in their first-ever faceoff back in IPL 2022, the Titans have registered clinical wins in each of their subsequent three meetings. Moreover, the Shubman Gill-led side also defeated SRH by seven wickets at Ahmedabad earlier this season.

Past records aside, the SRH franchise is currently placed at number four on the IPL 2024 points table and a win over Gujarat Titans will help them seal a spot in the playoffs. Under the leadership of Pat Cummins, they have already registered seven wins amidst five defeats from 12 fixtures and they still have two more league games left in their pool.

Meanwhile, the Gujarat Titans is languishing at number eight on the 10-team points table, having secured just five wins against seven losses from 12 completed matches. The rain-affected no-result they sustained against KKR earlier this week knocked them out of the playoffs race.

SRH vs GT Pitch Report

The surface at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium has provided considerable assistance to batters off late. While the average first innings total at the venue amounts to 162 across all IPL games, the average for IPL 2024 matches alone here has emerged in the range of early 200s, thus signifying the high-scoring value offered by the conditions. Considering the recent track at Hyderabad, the captain winning the toss will likely opt to field first.

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Ground Stats (IPL 2024)

Matches: 5
Matches won batting first: 3
Matches won batting second: 2

Average first innings total: 203
Average second innings total: 190

Fantasy value from the pitch report

The Rajiv Gandhi Stadium spawned a staggering haul of 523 runs in a single evening during SRH’s opening home game of the season against Mumbai Indians. Moreover, the ‘Orange Army’ also gunned down LSG’s 165-run total in less than 10 overs in the most-recent match played at the venue.

Considering the high-scoring nature of the surface, captains of both franchises will likely feel inclined to lace their playing XI with a number of aggressive batters capable of reaping the benefits of the playing conditions. Moreover, including a specialist spinner or two might also go a long way for teams hoping to contend run-scoring carnage in the middle overs.


SRH vs GT Fantasy Cricket Tips

Sunrisers Hyderabad Heavy Fantasy XI

  • Opening batters Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and South African-based middle-order star Heinrich Klaasen continue to remain SRH’s most prolific run-scorers of the IPL 2024 season. Moreover, the three batters have also tallied their runs at astonishing strike-rates. In case of selecting an SRH-heavy fantasy XI, it is imperative to pick any two of these three players for your playing XI.
  • Among the bowlers, SRH pacers T Natarajan (15 wickets), captain Pat Cummins (14 wickets) and senior speedster Bhuvneshwar Kumar (11 wickets) have emerged as their highest wicket-takers. Jaydev Unadkat has also managed to deliver timely strikes at various critical stages of the tournament for the ‘Orange Army’.

Gujarat Titans Heavy Fantasy XI

  • Sai Sudharsan and team captain Shubman Gill have stacked up the highest number of runs for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024, tallying 527 runs and 426 runs respectively from 12 innings each. However, apart from the two in-form batters, no other cricketer in the Titans line-up has managed to outscore number three placed David Miller’s below-par tally of 210 runs.
  • The bowling department of the Gujarat Titans this season seems to be lacking some potency in the absence of injured Mohammed Shami. Senior fast bowler Mohit Sharma, however, has led his team’s bowling charge from the front by chipping in with 13 wickets from 12 completed games. Among the spinners, Afghanistan-import Rashid Khan has made the most impact for the Titans with 10 scalps.

SRH vs GT Winner Prediction

A charged-up SRH side will be expected to start out as favorites to defeat a struggling Gujarat Titans group. The ‘Orange Army’ will not only be backed by huge crowd support on familiar home condition, but they are also emboldened by holding superiority on the IPL 2024 points table. However, the Titans can also spring up a surprise in their final league game of the season, and will likely be carrying some confidence from their earlier win over SRH on March 31.
