Gujarat Titans (GT) will battle it out with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match number 51 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) season on Friday, May 02. GT is coming off a thumping eight-wicket loss against Rajasthan Royals (RR). However, the good news is that they are still placed fourth on the points table, with a positive net run rate. A win today against SRH will take them to the second position on the points table.
Meanwhile, SRH's playoff hopes are hanging by a thread. The Pat Cummins-led side won their last must-win game against CSK and is currently placed ninth on the points table with six points from the nine games that they have played. They will need to win five games with a good margin to harbor hopes of qualifying for the playoffs. SRH's problem throughout their six losses has been their batting.
The famed batting duo (Travishek) - Travis Head & Abhishek Sharma—have failed to get runs in unison. Ishan Kishan has also lacked consistency. Batting needs to fire if the Orange Army has to go deep in the tournament.
