The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium is known to aid the batters in the recent past, the straight and square boundaries are very big at this venue which will get the spinners into action.
Gujarat Titans will lock horns with the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 62nd match of the ongoing Indian Premier League at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat. Gujarat Titans have continued where they left off last season. The defending champions have a well-rounded team with plenty of match-winners. Shubman Gill has been in brilliant form. Sai Sudharsan and Saha also have shown glimpses of brilliance. Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan have been the pick of the bowler for Gujarat Titans. Mohit Sharma was awarded back-to-back Man of the Match awards after two fantastic performances on his comeback. Vijay Shankar has been in fantastic form as well and has performed at crucial junctures but will miss this fixture due to an injury.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad had a dismal season last year when they managed to win only six out of 14 games and finished eighth in the points table, and started off this season in a similar fashion, losing their first 3 matches but after the arrival of Aiden Markram, SRH has bounced back well and went on to win back to back matches in their next two encounters. Umran Malik has blown hot, cold while T Natarajan and Mayank Markhande have done well in patches. Markram needs to put in a match-winning performance in this all-important fixture. This match has all the makings of going down to the wire and we are set for a lot of entertainment.
