Despite not being able to maintain consistency in performance, Sunrisers Hyderabad needs just one win against Gujarat Titans on Thursday to make it to the IPL playoffs while the Gujarat team will be playing for prestige only. Captain Pat Cummins's team is eyeing a place in the top two. He has to play one more match after this and his net run rate is also plus 0.406. Sunrisers have 14 points from 12 matches and can score a maximum of 18 points which will secure their place in the top two.
Hyderabad's spirits are high
Before this match, Sunrisers have got a break of one week, due to which they will return to the field refreshed. Apart from this, after registering a record win over Lucknow on May 8, its morale is high. While the bowlers restricted Lucknow to a low score, the opening pair of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma achieved the target of 166 runs in 9.4 overs with 10 wickets remaining.
got a crushing defeat from Gujarat
While Sunrisers have made incredible scores this season, they have also suffered embarrassing defeats. Gujarat had defeated them in the tournament by seven wickets. He had to face defeat in three of the last five matches. Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated them by 35 runs, Chennai Super Kings by 78 runs, and Mumbai Indians by seven wickets. The team is completely dependent on Head and Sharma in batting. If they fail, his innings falter, hence Nitish Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, and Abdul Samad will have to perform better.
Gujarat would like to register a victory
On the other hand, Gujarat, which won only five out of 13 matches, has 11 points and would like to depart with a win. There was no balance in the Gujarat team after former captain Hardik Pandya returned to Mumbai Indians this season. Pandya played an important role in winning the 2022 title and reaching the final last year. The last match against Kolkata was washed out due to rain, but the bowlers gave hope against Chennai Super Kings by taking three wickets in the first three overs. In batting, the responsibility of giving a good start will once again be on captain Shubhman Gill and B Sai Sudarshan. David Miller has not been in form this season, but he would like to play a useful innings in the last match.
The playing 11 of both the teams are as follows
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Mayank Agarwal, Nitish Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Marco Johnson, Pat Cummins (c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan.
Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill (captain), Sai Sudarshan, Shahrukh Khan, David Miller, Matthew Wade (wicketkeeper), Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmed, Umesh Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Kartik Tyagi.
