Weather & Pitch Report

Ahmedabad's weather on May 2, 2025, will likely be warm, with temperatures between 33–37°C (91–99°F) and humidity around 50–60% in the evening. The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium could possibly be a good batting surface in the beginning but may assist spinners as the match moves out of the powerplay phase. Dew could also be a factor in the second innings, potentially making the batting conditions easier for the chasing side.

GT vs SRH: Match Preview

The Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, just won their last match, Match 19 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, by 7 wickets, thanks to wickets from Mohammed Siraj (4/17) and a score of 61* from Gill. In total, GT has 6 wins from their 9 matches to date and is reliant on their batters (Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, and Shubman Gill) and their bowling (Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna) being suited to the conditions in Ahmedabad. In their return match, Pat Cummins is leading Sunrisers Hyderabad on a tough stretch, with 3 wins from 9 matches. SRH relied on players Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen for runs, and Harshal Patel and Shami led a dangerous bowling group. SRH’s recent form is shaky, but their desire for retribution could make this a tight contest against GT’s home advantage.
