Sunrisers Hyderabad have lost their last three matches in the Indian Premier League 2025, while Gujarat Titans are coming off twin wins in the season. SRH host GT at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium as they look to find back their lost batting form.
Sunrisers Hyderabad head home as they take on Gujarat Titans in their fifth match of the Indian Premier League 2025 on Sunday, April 6. After suffering a hat-trick of defeats which began at their home venue of Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, SRH look to bounce back as they hope to move up from the bottom of the points table.
Up against them are the Gujarat Titans, a team riding high on confidence after the twin wins against the Mumbai Indians and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Their undercooked middle-order has not had to worry much so far, with their top order doing the heavy lifting. GT’s Sai Sudharsan, captain Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler have put in the hard yards, while Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna have been doing the job with the ball.
Meanwhile, SRH’s batting might has been failing time and again after putting up the second-biggest score of 286/6 against Rajasthan Royals in their opener. Since then, SRH have managed to score 190/9, 163/10, and 120/10 in their last three matches. They would hope for a better show from their fabled batting order.
