The Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season is in the business end as the competition moves from the northern part of India to the western part of the country as Gujarat Titans (GT) take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Both sides have been in similar form in the latter half of the tournament. This has helped the respective franchises maintain the top position in the points table. This is a match between the third placed team in the points table and the second placed team. A win for the respective sides will seal their position for the playoff round.
IPL 2026: GT vs SRH Preview:
Gujarat Titans have been in sensational form and have won four consecutive matches in the tournament. They will look to score five points in a row tonight as Shubman Gill’s side has dominated their opponents in the last few matches. The pace duo of Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj will look to destroy SRH’s batting tonight.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s five-match winning streak was broken after losing to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). However, Pat Cummins and his team made a strong comeback in their last game against Punjab Kings (PBKS). SRH’s aggressive batting lineup will be aggressive from the very first over against the quality bowling attack.
The GT vs SRH match is expected to be high scoring. The last time these two sides met at this venue, GT had the upper hand. In the 7 meetings, it has been a one-sided affair, with Gujarat winning 5 times, and Sunrisers Hyderabad winning just one game, and one match ending in a no result.
The pitch for the GT vs SRH encounter is expected to be a balanced surface with significant dew factor in the second innings. Teams winning the toss will try to achieve the target in the match. However, if a black clay pitch is used, the team will want to bat first as the pitch becomes slower in the second innings.

Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and decided to bowl first. Pat Cummins said, “We are going to bowl. Have never played here before, want to see the ball first and then chase. Hopefully it will become easier later on. There are always different changes. You see it all but it still feels a bit strange. Not really, we have earned the right to give ourselves some chances to reach the final. We have three games left. There is nothing to lose now.”
