Tactics & Matchups:Ishan Kishan burst onto IPL 2025 with a swashbuckling century but his returns have dwindled since then. He has had his previous struggles against two of GT's spinners in Washington Sundar and Rashid Khan. Kishan has a low strike-rate of 89.36 and 116.41 respectively, with the Afghan legspinner having dismissed him twice previously as well.

Tactics & Matchups: The Gujarat Titans middle-order (from No. 4 to 7) has scored 412 runs in 9 games at an average of 24.23 and are the only team to have a middle-order of which no batter has a 50-plus score. Sunrisers could look to put in the GT middle order early.

Thanks Parm for the tag and the thread😊

Looking forward to the match!

Gujarat Titans will look to bounce back after an eight-wicket loss at the hands of Rajasthan Royals in their last match. They are at the fourth position in the standings with 12 points with six wins and three losses so far. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad will need to win in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. They currently sit in ninth place on the points table, having won only three matches from nine.

SRH’s death bowling lacks teeth

Their inability to contain or strike in the final overs is haunting them, a mismatch that GT will look to exploit with finishers like Tewatia.

Pat Cummins has a hold over Buttler

Cummins has also dismissed Buttler thrice in 61 balls, limiting him to a strike rate of 136.06. High-stakes showdown incoming.

Lets win it GT

Battle of IPL heavyweights

Shami has dismissed Buttler thrice in T20s. The English batter strikes at just 132.09 against him, a battle to watch.

GT’s home pitch favors batting first

200+ scores have been breached five times this season in Ahmedabad. Teams batting first have won 5 of the last 12 matches here.

left-arm orthodox spin

Dismissed five times by this style since IPL 2024, Heinrich Klaasen’s struggle against spin could see R Sai Kishore in action early.
