Match Preview

The new GT skipper, Shubman Gill, has shown promise in twomatches thus far and is ready to leap, aiming for a win against the spirited SRH team. With no major injury concerns at their disposal, the home side will enter the contest oozing with confidence despite losing their previous tie against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 63 runs.

A well-balanced team, GT has its bases covered, with all departments looking settled. While the onus would fall on their bowling, considering Hyderabad's batters form, the GT batters still need to come good and deliver.

It will be exciting to see Rashid Khan go one-on-one against the man in top-notch form, Heinrich Klaasen. Besides, Pat Cummins versus Gill in the battle of captains will also be one to look out for.

On the other side, the travelling SunRisers Hyderabad are on song despite winning one of the two contested games. Though they went down in their season opener against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) narrowly by four runs, Klaasen’s form made headlines, putting them in the driver’s seat already ahead of every contest.

The Orange Army won their next game against Mumbai Indians, with batters, mainlydebutantTravis Head going bonkers upfront. Against a top GT side, this super-solid SRH team will bring their A-game to the table, making this a mouth-watering clash.
