Gujarat Titans (GT) lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 51 of the IPL 2025 at the colossal Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. With 74 games being spread across 13 venues over two cricket-filled months, the business end is fast approaching.
SRH are dangling near the bottom—ninth in the table—with just three wins from nine matches. While they did pick up a win last time out, their hopes of making the playoffs are hanging by a thread. They'll need to win every remaining game and pray the rest of the league throws them a lifeline. Desperation might just bring out their best.
GT, on the other hand, continue to punch above their weight. With six victories from nine games, they sit pretty in fourth despite a recent hiccup—a heavy eight-wicket defeat to the Royals. That said, one off day doesn’t mean it’s time to sound the alarm.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channels, streaming details, and more.

Gujarat Titans Team News
Sai Sudharsan has been the standout performer with the bat, enjoying a breakout season. With 456 runs at an average over 50 and a strike rate of 150, he's leading the charge. Shubman Gill, not too far behind, has racked up 389 runs at a brisk 156.22, including a commanding 84 off 50 in the previous match. Jos Buttler has provided steady starts too, keeping the top order ticking.
In the middle, Sherfane Rutherford has flown under the radar with 201 runs at 40.20, while Rahul Tewatia continues to deliver those late-over fireworks.
The Titans' bowling arsenal has held its own as well. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna have combined for 29 scalps, while Sai Kishore has added 12 of his own, operating economically through the middle overs. Rashid Khan, although slow to get going, seems to be hitting his stride again with tidy returns in the last two games—1/25 and 2/24.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Team News
For SRH, it's been a season of misfires. Three wins in nine reflect a team that hasn’t quite found its rhythm. When the top order fires, they’ve looked dangerous, but when early wickets tumble, they struggle to recover.
If Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head click early, they give SRH a fighting chance. The middle order—Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar—have all shown flashes, but consistency has eluded them. One of them needs to grab this game by the scruff of the neck.
Aniket Verma has been a silver lining—finishing games with flair and boasting a strike rate of 161. He’s given SRH some late-inning bite.
Their Achilles heel has been the bowling. Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins have struggled for rhythm but showed signs of life against CSK. Harshal Patel has been a rare bright spot—his variations proving lethal as he grabbed 4/28 in the last match. Zeeshan Ansari, with five wickets in seven games, has offered some control in the middle overs.

GT vs SRH pitch conditions and weather report
- Weather: clear and dry
- Pitch: Batter-Friendly
The surface at the Narendra Modi Stadium has proven to be a treat for T20 cricket—true bounce, good carry, and plenty of runs on offer for batters willing to take their chances. But it’s not just a batter's paradise. Fast bowlers and those who can take the pace off have found joy here, especially as the game wears on. Chasing might be tricky, with the pitch slowing down under lights and strokeplay becoming harder.
As for the weather—it’s classic Ahmedabad. Hot, dry, and no threat of rain. Perfect conditions for a full-throttle IPL showdown.
