Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Match Preview

Gujarat Titans have been in solid form in IPL 2025. Despite losing the last game against Rajasthan Royals, the 2022 IPL winners remain in strong position when it comes to top-four race. They have won six times in the first nine matches, and have the chance to go top of the table if they win this match.

This is a massive IPL 2025 match today for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. They are sitting second from bottom heading into this game. Their situation is so alarming at the moment that have to win every game till the end of the season, which will take them to 16 points, to finish in the top four. This is not an impossible task but looks like one considering the form of Sunrisers Hyderabad this season. So far, the 2016 IPL champions have won just three times in the first nine matches.
