TEAM NEWS
Gujarat Titans: The side possesses a strong bowling line-up. Mohammed Shami (10 wickets from 7 games) and Lockie Ferguson (9 wickets from 7 games) lead the pace department while spinner Rashid Khan (8 wickets from 7 games) continues to spread his charm. Though the Afghanistan player has not got too many wickets, his all-rounder abilities have bailed out GT on more than a couple of occasions. Their opening remains a concern as neither Shubman Gill has got rhythm post his 96 nor Wriddhiman Saha, the replacement of Matthew Wade, has been able to live up to the expectations. Lower down the order, Vijay Shankar is another flop batter for them this season. However, it is the sensational form of skipper Hardik Pandya that has saved GT’s blushes on many occasions.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: They have won all their five games so far by chasing a target and the credit for it goes to their bowlers who kept the opposition at bay since ball one. Marco Jansen (6 wickets from 5 games), Umran Malik (10 wickets from 7 games), T Natarajan (15 wickets from 7 games) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (9 wickets from 7 games) all have made a disciplined bowling unit. In the batting front, Kane Williamson and Abhishek Sharma have got some runs under their belt while the likes of Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran form an extremely strong middle order.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Both Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad have played only one match against each other. SRH won the game by eight wickets at Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium. Batting second, SRH chased down the taget of 163 runs against GT to win the game.
VENUE AND PITCH
GT and SRH play their IPL 2022 match at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. The surface of the venue has looked a bit sluggish at the start. However, once a batsman gets set, run scoring becomes easy on the pitch. Batting in the second innings gets comparatively easier, so any captain that wins the toss would like to bowl first.
