Let’s closely examine GT vs SRH – team analysis, squad, head-to-head record, and prediction.
Gujarat Titans (GT)
Though GT’s top order failed against Mumbai Indians (MI) at Wankhede, the hosts will likely bounce back. Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha put together 142 runs the last time GT played at home. Experienced T20 players Hardik Pandya and David Miller are in fine touch. All-rounders Vijay Shankar and Rahul Tewatia, too, can add valuable runs to the total.
GT’s bowling attack is one of the finest in IPL 2023. Rashid Khan has 23 wickets this season, Mohammed Shami is one short of 20-mark, and Noor Ahmad and Mohit Sharma have picked up more than 20 wickets between them. The Afghanistan captain took four wickets and played a breathtaking knock of 79 against MI on Friday.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)
Apart from Heinrich Klaasen and Abdul Samad, none of the SRH batters got going against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their last game. It was another disappointing outing for the likes of Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, and Aiden Markram. The batting unit faces a stiff challenge against an attack consisting of Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan.
The SRH bowling unit didn’t live up to its reputation against LSG. Senior fast bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan failed to provide a breakthrough early, and leading wicket-taker Mayank Markande had an off day. Also, Fazalhaq Farroqi, who replaced Marco Jansen, couldn’t make much of an impact. The performance summed up SRH’s season, which has been very ordinary.
