Preview
In the match 62 of the Indian Premier League 2023, Gujarat Titans will play against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In their last fixture, GT were defeated by MI in a convincing fashion by 27 runs in Mumbai. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have found some resemblance of consistency in their recent round of IPL matches. When Gujarat take on Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium on May 15, the hosts will fancy their chances of yet another win to ensure their qualification in the league playoffs.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the Narendra Modi Stadium are comparatively difficult for the batters to start in the powerplay, but it gets easier to play strokes as the innings goes along. The average first innings score at this venue is 164 in the IPL, but for the 2023 season, it goes up to 179. In the upcoming match between GT and SRH, a first innings score in the range of 170-180 could be par for the course.
Team Analysis
Gujarat Titans
Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha are one of the best opening partners in the IPL 2023, thanks to their big contributions at the top of the order for Gujarat Titans. In the middle order, the captain Hardik Pandya, Vijay Shankar, David Miller, and Rahul Tewatia are the biggest strength for the GT side in this tournament. As far as the bowling goes, Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan are the pick of the bowlers for Gujarat, but they would want Noor Ahmad and Mohit Sharma to deliver quality performances more regularly.
SportsTiger Playing XI of GT
Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya (c), Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Abhinav Manohar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Mohammed Shami, Alzarri Joseph (Potential Impact Substitute - Mohit Sharma for Shubman Gill)
Sunrisers Hyderabad
A run of good scores at the top of the order from Abhishek Sharma and Anmolpreet Singh in recent matches is a good sign for Sunrisers Hyderabad in their quest to put up big scores on the board regularly. Rahul Tripathi has been the top run getter for SRH in the IPL 2023, but he hasn’t got enough support from captain Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen, the two overseas pros, in particular. The bowling attack of Sunrisers hasn’t been quite as potent, outside of the contributions made by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mayank Markande.
SportsTiger Playing XI of SRH
Abhishek Sharma, Anmolpreet Singh, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Glenn Phillips, Abdul Samad, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Vivrant Sharma, Mayank Markande (Potential Impact Substitute - Anmolpreet Singh for T Natarajan)
Match Prediction
Conclusion
Gujarat Titans haven’t had the best of records at the Narendra Modi Stadium in the IPL 2023 as they have only won three out of their six matches here. But still, they will start their upcoming encounter against Sunrisers Hyderabad as favourites on May 15.
