GT vs SRH pitch report: Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad will go head-to-head against each other at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad as they look for the second win of the season. The Giants started the tournament with a hard-fought win over Mumbai Indians but were blown away by Chennai Super Kings in their second outing, which gave a hit to their Net run rate too.
The Sunrisers come into this contest on the back of a record-breaking game against Mumbai Indians, where they shattered the all-time highest score of IPL by scoring 277 in Hyderabad. Before that game, they fell agonisingly short to Kolkata Knight Riders in their opening game of the tournament.
The two teams will square off at Titans home in Ahmedabad, which has hosted one game in the season so far and that was the thriller between GT and MI. Here’s how the pitch is likely to play for the second game of the season in Ahmedabad.
