---

Hyderabad were stunned in their last game against the Kolkata Knight Riders, as they failed to chase a target of 201 at Eden Gardens and were bundled out for just 120. Vaibhav Arora and Varun Chakravarthy’s bowling kept the Orange Army on the back foot throughout the chase. Earlier, Venkatesh Iyer, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Rinku Singh, and Ajinkya Rahane ensured the defending champions reached a respectable total. Last season’s finalists are currently languishing at the bottom of the table, having won just one out of the three games played.

Meanwhile, the Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans have played an aggressive brand of cricket so far. The 2022 champions recovered well after losing their opener to the Punjab Kings, winning two out of their three matches. Playing their second away game of the season, the side will be looking to continue their fine form and decimate the opposition. 

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch

The renowned Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad is known for its flat tracks. With average scores of 205 and 216 on this surface, it’s clear that batters have a significant advantage. Although there are some dry patches at both ends and a hint of grass in the middle, it’s unlikely to trouble the batters much. Spinners might find some assistance as the game progresses. The pitch is unlikely to deteriorate over 20 overs, but captains may hope for some two-paced bounce or turn to assist the bowlers in the second innings.

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s must-win game after three losses

• Sunrisers have won the last four out of five games at this venue
• Gujarat Titans lack teeth in the bowling attack for this flat surface
• Sunrisers Hyderabad have hitters like Head, Klaasen, and Kishan

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans Players to Watch

Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan has not found his bite yet. The batters are picking him with ease and he now has possibly the biggest competition in the tournament with a side that takes bowlers down for fun. Can he find a way to get his mystery back and can he put the Hyderabad batters in check?

Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma has been a little sluggish early on. A few low scores has seen him lose some confidence but he is a much better player than the one that got run-out a couple nights ago. SRH will be hoping he keeps his calm and spends some time out in the middle to regain his touch.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans Match Tips

Sunrisers are coming in after three consecutive losses but they do have an edge against Gujarat’s bowling attack. While Gujarat did bowl well in the last game, they do have concerns with Rashid Khan’s form and that will be a point of concern.
