A struggling Gujarat Titans bowling lineup will face a tough challenge as they aim to halt the high-flying Sunrisers Hyderabad squad, fresh off a record-breaking performance against Mumbai Indians.
Here’s all you need to know ahead of the big game.
Pitch report:
The stadium in Ahmedabad, which boasts to be as the largest cricket ground in the world, also hosts pitches that are advantageous for batsmen mainly. The dry pitch conditions may favor the spinners, with players like Rashid Khan and Sai Kishore likely to play crucial roles.
Nonetheless, the pitch is expected to favour seam bowlers in the early going of the game. The team that wins the toss at this location may elect to bat first due to this being a day game.
