🔎 Match Preview – GT vs SRH, IPL 2025
Gujarat Titans (GT) are set to host Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 51 of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday, May 2, at 7:30 PM IST.
GT head into this game on the back of a tough eight-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur, despite a strong batting performance powered by skipper Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler. With the playoffs race heating up, GT will be looking to bounce back at home and solidify their spot in the top four.
SRH, meanwhile, come into this contest with renewed hope after a morale-boosting victory against Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk. However, with just three wins from nine games, Pat Cummins’ men are in must-win territory. Another loss could all but end their playoff hopes.
Expect a gripping encounter as both teams fight for survival and momentum in the business end of the tournament.
