Catch Live Updates: GT vs SRH Live Score, IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans set to take on Sunrisers Hyderabad
THE PITCH
The ground provides a perfectly balanced chance for teams batting first or second. The record of winning the toss and winning the match is also similarly divided; the team winning the toss has won 13 times while the team losing the toss has won 15 times.
Both GT and SRH are hungry for a win, and they know scoring anything under par here won’t work for them. The big hitters are also perfectly balanced on both sides. Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Klassen for SRH have a perfect foil in Gill, Miller and Tewatia.
However, going by the current forms, SRH batters look more dangerous.
THE TOSS
The conditions at the Narendra Modi Stadium help in putting up a good first-innings score. The average score batting first here is 172 while the average runs per over here is 8.45.
The team winning the toss is likely to bowl first. In the first match played here between GT and I, MI won the toss and fielded first. GT put up a slightly under-par score of 168 runs, but they managed to end up victorious due to their collective bowling effort.
Shubhman Gill scored 31 in 22 balls in that match, and he will look to improve his record here. He has scored 700 runs on this track at an average of 63.64.
Hyderabad’s Mayank Aggarwal too likes the ground – he scores at 72.50 average with a strike rate of 145.
Hyderabad has another trump card at this venue. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar has taken 9 wickets in just 2 games here with a best of 5 for 30. In the other match, he ended up with a figure of 4 for 14! His average here is an unbelievable 4.89 runs per wicket. Gujarat’s Mohit Sharma too likes the venue as he has taken 22 wickets at 11.18 here. Both sides are lined with big hitters, but these pacers may ultimately turn the tables on their opponent.
