Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024
The 66th game of the 2024 Indian Premier League brings Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans together on Thursday evening at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad. Sunrisers are in fourth place with two fixtures to go whereas Gujarat can no longer reach the top four places. Read on as we preview this game. The match gets underway at 19:30 local time on May 16th.
After going through a poor run of results, Sunrisers Hyderabad now look to be back on track and their last performance was one of the best seen across the whole of the 2024 IPL. Their powerful batting line-up will be the key to their chances once again in this game.
Gujarat Titans had got themselves back into contention of reaching the top four only for their clash with Kolkata Knight Riders to be abandoned without a ball bowled on Monday. As they can no longer qualify for the play-offs, they will only have pride to play for in this fixture.

SRH vs GT Pitch Report
Sunrisers Hyderabad showed that this is still a fantastic batting pitch by hitting 167 from only 9.4 overs to beat Lucknow Super Giants last week. The ball will come onto the bat nicely throughout this game and this will be particularly the case when the ball is hard at the start of the innings. A par total will be around 250.
Hyderabad Weather Report
Across Friday and the weekend, wet weather is forecast in Hyderabad but Thursday currently has a clear forecast with the temperature likely to be in the high twenties throughout.

SRH Team News & Playing 11
SRH Team News
With only skipper Pat Cummins not at the top of his game during the last match, we are not expecting to see any changes for Sunrisers Hyderabad in this game. Furthermore, the players have had a whole week to recover from any knocks or niggles.
SRH Key Players
- Abhishek Sharma – The 23 year old left-handed all-rounder was on top form once again in his last innings when he finished 75 not out from 28 balls.
- Travis Head – The Australian has been a very consistent presence at the top of the order for Sunrisers and he comes into this game after hitting eight fours and eight sixes in his last innings at this venue.
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar – The right-arm fast medium bowler has swung the ball early in each game so far and he dismissed Quinton de Kock and Marcus Stoinis against Lucknow Super Giants.
- Pat Cummins – The skipper conceded 47 runs from his four overs in Match 57 but he still showed his class by picking up the wicket of KL Rahul.
SRH Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Glenn Phillips, Umran Malik, T Natarajan, Mayank Agarwal, Washington Sundar
We saw Abhishek Sharma come into the XI for the batting innings and dominate once again in the last match so it would be a big surprise if he were not to be replaced by T Natarajan again for the fielding innings.
SRH Team Form
Sunrisers Hyderabad have found form again recently with two victories from their last three matches of IPL 2024.
SRH Predicted Playing 11
Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Sanvir Singh, Pat Cummins (c), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth

GT Team News
Although it has been a disappointing campaign for Gujarat Titans, particularly after their successful showings in 2022 and 2023, they will still be keen to end the season with positive results. There are no new injuries in the Gujarat squad ahead of this clash.
GT Key Players
- Shubman Gill – The skipper was at his best in the win over Chennai Super Kings and we can expect him to lead from the front once again in this match.
- Sai Sudharsan – The left-hander not only made a century against CSK but also did it with a strike-rate of 200+. He will be looking to produce the same on this strong batting pitch.
- Rashid Khan – The Afghan bowling all-rounder has not been at his best across the 2024 IPL but comes into this match after taking 10 wickets in the campaign.
- Mohit Sharma – the right-arm pace bowler had plenty of joy earlier in the tournament with his slower balls but he could find them flying to the fence against this Sunrisers batting line-up.
GT Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Abhinav Manohar, Sandeep Warrier, BR Sharath, Darshan Nalkande, Jayant Yadav
Sandeep Warrier was the bowling impact player in Gujarat Titans’ last completed game and we expect him to do the same in this match with Sai Sudharsan coming out of the side.
GT Team Form
After Monday’s abandonment, Gujarat Titans have now won just one match of their last five in the competition.
GT Predicted Playing 11
Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, David Miller, M Shahrukh Khan, Matthew Wade (wk), Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Umesh Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Kartik Tyagi
SRH vs GT Head to Head

Who will win Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants T20 Match?
Gujarat Titans have struggled without some of their key players over recent seasons in this campaign whereas Sunrisers have gone up a level or two in this season. We have Sunrisers as the clear top side ahead of this match.
🏆 SRH vs GT Prediction
Sunrisers Hyderabad swept Lucknow Super Giants away in their last game at this venue and they will turn up at the ground with a huge amount of confidence on Thursday. So will Gujarat Titans, who although they will be disappointed to be out of the competition, had a big win themselves in their last fixture. However, our prediction is for Sunrisers Hyderabad to play with their usual self-belief and for their batting line-up to be too strong. We are backing Sunrisers Hyderabad to win.
