GT vs SRH Match Details

GT vs SRH – Match Overview

Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and opted for the first innings in Ahmedabad. Their bowlers, however, began their spell strongly from which they put in only two wickets in the powerplay – Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler. Gujarat Titans were just wrong-footed and lost two key wickets in the powerplay in the first innings. But Sai Sudharsan and Nishant Sindhu sorted out the situation and restarted scoring at a moderate pace. When Sindhu bowled out, Washington Sundar took over with Sai Sudharsan and came flying over the in. But when Sindhu retired who took her place was Washington Sundar who came winging over the in.

These two pairs contributed to the Gujarat Titans 150-run turnaround, with their partnership kicking things off. Sai Sudharsan had an impressive 61 off his composed finish and Washington Sundar had a confident fifty to get Gujarat across the line. Sunrisers Hyderabad had a shoddy first start to their chase. It was destroyed by a sensational spell by Kagiso Rabada in the very-first over after Mohammed Siraj took Travis Head. Again, SRH were struggling by wickets falling at regular intervals while on the losing side, and did not create any sort of momentum during the chase. Later, Jason Holder and Prasidh Krishna got in the attacking effort and thus Gujarat Titans stabilized the situation to chalk out a comprehensive win.
