Gujarat Titans(GT) will play against Sunrisers Hyderabad(SRH) in the  Fifty-one match of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. SRH came close to winning the title last season but finished as runners-up, while GT failed to qualify for playoffs in the IPL 2024.

Mohammed Siraj brilliantly bowled in that match, taking 4 wickets for just 17 runs, which helped to control the Sunrisers Hyderabad to 152/8. His aggressive bowling kept the SRH batsmen under control. Chasing the target, Shubman Gill led from the front, scoring an unbeaten 61. His steady performance guided Gujarat Titans smoothly toward the target. GT won by 7 wickets, finishing the chase easily.

GT: Impact players

Anuj Rawat: A skilled batter, Rawat can step in as an impact substitute if Gujarat lose early wickets while batting first or if they need to chase a big target in the second innings.

Shahrukh Khan: Known for his powerful hitting, Khan played for GT last season. His aggressive batting is helpful in the second innings when the conditions are good for batting. In his last match against RR, he hit 5 runs off 2 balls.

Sherfane Rutherford: A hard-hitting West Indies player, Rutherford’s batting comes in handy during the second innings if the pitch is good for batting. He scored 43 runs off 34 balls in his last match against RR.

Ishant Sharma: The experienced pacer can be used as an impact player when bowling second, especially if the conditions helps for fast bowlers. With 93 wickets in 110 IPL matches, Ishant brings a lot of experience to the team. In his last game against RR, he took 0 wickets in 2 overs, although he was a bit expensive with an economy rate of 18.00.

SRH: Impact players

Abhinav Manohar: A talented all-rounder who can be really useful if SRH lose quick wickets at the start or need some big hits while chasing in the second innings. In the last match against MI, he scored a valuable 43 runs from 37 balls.

Wiaan Mulder: A reliable talented all-rounder who can strengthen the batting in the first innings and also bowl well later in the game if team needs.

Eshan Malinga: A fast bowler who can swing the ball early and could be a smart option in the second innings if the pitch helps pacers. In his last game against MI, he took 1 wicket in 3 overs, although he was a bit expensive with an economy rate of 11.

Rahul Chahar: A leg-spinner who has spent most of the season on the bench, but he might be needed in this match, especially with the game being played in Gujarat.

Sachin Baby: A steady batter who can come in if SRH lose early wickets and help settle the innings.

Weather & Pitch Report

Ahmedabad's weather on May 2, 2025, will likely be warm, with temperatures between 33–37°C (91–99°F) and humidity around 50–60% in the evening. The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium could possibly be a good batting surface in the beginning but may assist spinners as the match moves out of the powerplay phase. Dew could also be a factor in the second innings, potentially making the batting conditions easier for the chasing side.

GT vs SRH: Match Preview

The Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, just won their last match, Match 19 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, by 7 wickets, thanks to wickets from Mohammed Siraj (4/17) and a score of 61* from Gill. In total, GT has 6 wins from their 9 matches to date and is reliant on their batters (Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, and Shubman Gill) and their bowling (Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna) being suited to the conditions in Ahmedabad. In their return match, Pat Cummins is leading Sunrisers Hyderabad on a tough stretch, with 3 wins from 9 matches. SRH relied on players Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen for runs, and Harshal Patel and Shami led a dangerous bowling group. SRH’s recent form is shaky, but their desire for retribution could make this a tight contest against GT’s home advantage.

The 51st match of the IPL 2025 will feature Gujarat Titans (GT) against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 2, 2025, at 7:30 PM IST.

• GT Wins: 3
• SRH Wins: 1
• No Result: 1
• Win Percentage: GT has a 60% win rate against SRH.

Narendra Modi Stadium: GT and SRH have played once at the Narendra Modi Stadium, with GT emerging victorious by 34 runs in 2023.

Most Exciting Matches Between GT vs SRH

Their rivalry may not be that old, but there have been exciting clashes that have featured some excellent individual performances as well as some nail-biting finishes:

• SRH Total – 152/8 (20 overs)
• GT Total – 153/3 (16.4 overs)

Nitish Kumar Reddy (31 off 34) and Heinrich Klaasen (27 off 19) put up some resistance, but GT's bowlers, such as Sai Kishore (2/24), held SRH back. Shubman Gill's unbeaten 61 off 43 and Washington Sundar's blistering 49 off 29 propelled GT to victory with 20 balls remaining. Mohammed Shami conceded 2/28 for SRH, but their bowling lacked penetration. Siraj was the Player of the Match.

After all the hype Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) gained during the mega auction was almost gone when they started to lose points match after match. The ongoing IPL 2025 has reached its halfway mark; teams pushed on their paddles, in hope to cross the group stage and enter into the playoffs. 

Teams like Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have high chances to qualify for the next stage. On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings' IPL 2025 dreams almost came to an end. Remaining teams have the chance to do last-minute wonders and confirm a flight to the playoffs.

Despite an unconvincing performance on the field, Sunrisers Hyderabad left with some homework on pen and paper to move to the next phase of the tournament. The IPL 2024 finalist has enough gunpowder in their arsenal for an explosive performance, but they are yet to prove it.

Team Sunrisers Hyderabad is currently out for a mini vacation 

Cricket experts criticized the Hyderabad batters mindset and tactics. The team is currently lying in 8th spot with 6 points after 9 games, with 5 games left. If they are able to win the remaining 5 matches, they can achieve more than 10 points, in total 16 points; 16 points is the predicted cut-off score, so SRH has hope.

Their upcoming match is scheduled to be held on Friday, May 2, against Gujarat Titans, a must-win game for the Pat Cummins-led side. Before this match, team SRH left India to spend a small vacation in the Maldives. There, cricketers received a grand reception; the video is on the internet now.

The team, expected to be a destructive side on the pitch, turned out to be a super flop in the first half of the ongoing IPL 2025. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), with so much batting power in their squad, have won only 2 out of 8 games so far. Former Australia international and Chennai Super Kings opener Matthew Hayden advised them to stop overthinking. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad's latest setback was against the Mumbai Indians. Pat Cummins-led SRH managed to score only 143 for 8 wickets after being asked to bat first at the Wankhede stadium. In form, Rohit Sharma made the run chase easy for the Mumbai Indians and gifted another loss to Hyderabad. 

The finalist of the IPL 2024 is currently at the ninth spot in the ten-team tournament. According to the numbers, the Orange Brigade can still qualify for the playoffs. To make this happen, they need to win all of their remaining matches and hope for the best outcomes from other results.

According to the former cricketer, "The simplest explanation is just a lack of confidence. When you start losing the way SRH has, it's tough to bounce back. They were seen as benchmark batters, but right now they're far from that. This has led to issues in the middle order."

Matthew Hayden pointed out the problems SRH is currently facing 

Hayden proposed that the team should stop worrying and focus on their own game! He observed that SRH was at a stage in the tournament chase where they were trying to put their right combinations together and find the style to regain the flair of the powerful batting unit they used to have. Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on April 25 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. The match can be a thriller as SRH is currently at 9 and CSK at 10, hoping to make a comeback to winning way. 

"They need to stop overthinking and focus on their own game. Right now, SRH are chasing this tournament, chasing combinations, and even chasing the form that once defined their powerful batting unit," Hayden further added. 

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will play against Sunrisers Hyderabad(SRH) in the Forty-Third match of IPL 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. SRH came close to winning the title last season but finished as runners-up, while CSK failed to qualify for playoffs in the IPL 2024.

Impact Players: Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

Noor Ahmed: A talented Afghanistan spinner who could be a game-changer when bowling second, especially on spin-friendly pitch. He has 24 wickets in 23 IPL games. In the last match against MI, his magical spin didn't work and  he took 0 wicket conceding 36 runs in 3 overs.

Deepak Hooda: A classic all-rounder from India who can make the batting depth for his team needs and step in as an impact sub if CSK loses early wickets.  In the last match against KKR, he scored 0 runs in 4 balls.

 Rahul Tripathi: A very talented batter from SRH but this season not in good form. If, CSK loses early wickets while batting first or needs big hits during a run chase. In the last match against LSG, he scored 9 runs in 10 balls.

Shivam Dube: A very talented batter, If, CSK loses early wickets while batting first or needs big hits during a run chase. In the last match against LSG, he scored 50 runs in 32 balls.

Jamie Overton: The English pacer brings all-round skills and could be used to strengthen the batting in the first innings or bowl a few overs later. In the last match against MI, he scored 4 runs in 3 balls. In the last match against MI, he took 0 wicket conceding 29 runs in 2 overs.

Impact Players: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

Sachin Baby: A supportive batter who can step in if SRH loses early wickets while batting first.

Simarjeet Singh: An extra bowling option in the second innings, he can beat the batsmen with his pace, and in crucial times he can make an impact with his bowling. In the last match against CSK, he bowled four overs conceding 39 runs with one wicket.

Abhinav Manohar:  A very talented all-rounder, If, SRH loses early wickets while batting first or needs big hits during a run chase. In the last match against MI, he scored Valuable 43 runs in 37 balls.

 Wiaan Mulder: An all-rounder who can add batting depth in the first innings and promising with the ball later. 

 Eshan Malinga: A pacer who can swing the new ball and be a good option in the second innings if the pitch favors fast bowlers. Last match against MI he took 1 wicket in 3 overs economy of 11.00.

During the April 23rd match in IPL 2025 Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) faced defeat at the hands of Mumbai Indians (MI) when they played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. SRH faced defeat against MI when the Mumbai team achieved the 144-run target in just 15.4 overs to win by seven wickets. SRH lost their most valuable batsmen during the powerplay phase, so their innings started with a low score, which doomed their chances.

MI achieved a clinical performance in bowling that was highlighted by Trent Boult, who precisely dismantled the opposition top order. MI batters aggressively chased down the target while Rohit Sharma hit a commanding stroke, and Suryakumar Yadav finished the game with quick swings. SRH started poorly, and Boult threw fiery deliveries as MI batters asserted themselves at the crease, which eliminated any chance of recovery for SRH in their match against MI.

1. Early Wicket Collapsing and Lack of Partnerships

The batting innings from SRH never got off on the right foot early on, and they had no partnerships that would help them move towards a competitive score. Heinrich Klaasen scored a very respectable 71, as did Abhinav Manohar in his 43, but the rest of their batting lineup struggled immensely. The only other batsman to reach double figures was Aniket Verma, which is a clear sign that SRH relied heavily on Klasen and Manohar for the scoring. With no meaningful partnerships, they never really got the batting momentum going with their consistent loss of wickets. With a lack of support around Klassen and Manohar, SRH only managed to score a poor 143 for 8 runs when it would have needed to double that with the batting conditions in Hyderabad.

2. Trent Boult's Blistering Bowling Spell

Trent Boult, the pace spearhead for the Mumbai Indians, produced a match-defining bowling performance, knocking over the Sunrisers Hyderabad batting order with extraordinary bowling figures of 4 for 26 in his spell of 4 overs. Boult's swinging deliveries in the power play meant that Sunrisers Hyderabad lost important wickets early on and were set back by the loss of wickets from the opening over. Boult's initial blows were enough to shock Sunrisers Hyderabad very early on in the innings, and they never recovered since. Not to take away from Boult's performance, Deepak Chahar was just as impressive, producing unbelievably economical bowling figures of 2 for 12 and further turning the screws so that Sunrisers Hyderabad couldn't build any kind of momentum in their innings. The bowling effort by both Boult and Chahar led to a strangulation of SRH's batting, and they were never going to get to a defendable total for MI.

3. Explosive Batting from Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav

SRH's bowling unit, headed by Harshal Patel and Pat Cummins, was unable to have any impact during MI's explosive innings. MI, led by Rohit Sharma's fluent 70 runs from 46 deliveries and Suryakumar Yadav's unbeaten 40 runs from 19 deliveries, chased down 144 runs at 9.29 runs per over in just 15.4 overs. The batsmen played aggressively and side-stepped any scoreboard pressure. Big hats off to MI's batting; SRH's bowling lacked any sort of brothers in arms or dutiful bowling, and as such, Rohit and Suryakumar took them apart with no impetus whatsoever, cruising to their win without breaking a sweat.

The 41st match of IPL 2025 was played between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. In this match, Mumbai Indians defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 wickets and registered their fifth win of the season. In this match, Hyderabad team had set a target of 144 runs in front of Mumbai Indians. In response, Mumbai Indians achieved the target in 15.4 overs.

Talking about this match, Mumbai Indians team captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bowl first. In response, Sunrisers Hyderabad team had a very bad start and in the second over, Travis Head was caught out by Trent Boult and returned to the pavilion. Head could not even open his account. After this, Abhishek Sharma was also dismissed by Trent Boult for just eight runs. Ishan Kishan scored only one run and he too was out on Deepak Chahar's ball. Nitish Kumar Reddy's bad form continued and Reddy returned to the pavilion after scoring just two runs. Sunrise Hyderabad lost four wickets in just 13 runs and after that Aniket Verma also got out after playing an innings of 12 runs.

Great partnership between Klaasen and Abhinav Manohar

Heinrich klaasen and Abhinav Manohar took over the innings of Sunrisers Hyderabad which had lost five wickets for 35 runs. There was a partnership of 99 runs for the sixth wicket between the players of both the teams in which Abhinav Manohar scored 36 runs and Henry Klaasen scored 61 runs. In this match, Klaasen played an innings of 71 runs with the help of nine fours and two sixes in 44 balls. Abhinav Manohar scored 43 runs in 37 balls. From the Mumbai Indians team, Trent Boult took 2 wickets for 26 runs in four overs. Deepak Chahar took two wickets for just 12 runs in four overs. Apart from this, Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah also got 1-1 success.

Rohit Sharma scored another half-century in the run chase

Mumbai Indians did not have a good start while chasing the target of 144 runs given by Hyderabad. Ricky got out on Unadkat's ball after scoring 11 runs in 8 balls. But Rohit Sharma maintained the form he had achieved in the last match in this match as well and he played an innings of 70 runs with the help of 8 fours and three sixes in 46 balls. Apart from this, Will Jacks scored 22 runs in 19 balls and Suryakumar Yadav played an innings of 40 runs in 19 balls and Mumbai Indians team scored the required runs in 15.4 overs and got another victory this season. In this match, Trent Boult was given the title of Player of the Match for taking 4 wickets for 26 runs in four overs.

Dale Steyn’s audacious prediction back on April 17, 2025, that the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) could reach 300 runs in an IPL 2025 match against the Mumbai Indians (MI) at Wankhede Stadium never materialized, as SRH were only able to post 162/5, which MI chased down easily. Steyn, on social media platform X, humorously retracted, saying that maybe the combined scores would reach 300 instead. Today (April 23, 2025), SRH will again take on MI, this time at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. While Steyn did not explicitly predict the 300-run mark again for this match, SRH has an explosive batting group—namely Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, and Ishan Kishan - so there is always the enjoyment of the prediction. Also, SRH have four of the top team totals in IPL history, and earlier this season, they were able to score 286/6 against the Rajasthan Royals and scored 277/3 against MI in 2024, so chasing down a significant total is possible.

That being said, it is still difficult to reach the 300-run mark. No IPL team has ever scored 300 runs. The closest was SRH's 287/3 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2024. While Hyderabad's pitch is known to produce high scores (for example, SRH's 286/6), it's not as batter-friendly as Wankhede's flat surface, and it does not have the short boundaries. SRH's recent run of form has been inconsistent; their 162/5 tally at Wankhede indicated a slow start (76/2 in 10.1 overs) to their innings, although their chase to 246 against Punjab Kings hints at some batting recovery. MI's bowling, led by Jasprit Bumrah, performed with discipline last time, and they will be able to restrict SRH's momentum again, given they already have the inside information on this opponent. 

SRH’s Batting Firepower and Home Advantage

Batting depth is SRH's most valuable weapon. Head and Sharma's ability to attack at the start, okay, along with the devastation caused by Klaasen in recent matches, means that they can dismantle any bowling attack. Their innings against Hyderabad shows what 286/6 would revive for runs at that venue. If SRH have a strong start in batting (80+ runs) and lose few wickets, then they should be on track to foot it with MI at 300, depending on whether MI's second-string bowlers allow the batting free flow. Playing in familiar conditions also adds to their memory, where they have been stronger in recent times.  

“A small prediction. On April 17, we will see the first 300 runs in the IPL. Who knows, maybe I will also be there to see it,” Steyn’s tweet read.

Small prediction.
April 17 we’ll see the first 300 in IPL.

Who knows, I might even be there to see it happen.

MI's bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah have been a challenge for SRH in recent history.  Last time, MI restricted SRH perfectly, and Bumrah and Pandya took early wickets that limited their batting effort. Achieving 300 runs essentially means they will have to score and maintain a run rate of 15 per over, which is something that has never been seen in an IPL season. SRH's struggles away from home and MI's tactical nous make the prospect of 300 runs unlikely to be explored.  If all of SRH's heavy hitters can bat consistently, we could see them achieve the expected 250+ score.
