SRH Struggles to Set a Challenging Total
Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and elected to bat first, but their innings never gained momentum. They managed to put up a total of 152/8 in their allotted 20 overs, which proved to be insufficient against the formidable Gujarat Titans.
While some players showed promise, SRH lacked the partnerships needed for a big score. Abdul Samad was the highest scorer for SRH, contributing 29 runs off just 14 balls. Another key contribution came from Shahbaz Ahmed, who scored 22 off 20 balls. Despite these efforts, SRH’s batting lineup struggled with regular wickets falling.
The standout performer in the bowling department for Gujarat Titans was Mohammed Siraj, who produced a match-winning spell. Siraj claimed 4 wickets for just 17 runs, effectively dismantling the SRH batting order and putting his team in a commanding position.
GT Chases Down Target with Ease
In reply, Gujarat Titans made light work of the 153-run target, achieving it in just 18.2 overs with 7 wickets in hand. The Titans’ chase was anchored by a solid partnership between Sai Sudharsan and David Miller.

However, it was David Miller's aggressive batting that sealed the win for GT.
