Gujarat Titans (GT) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are poised for a showdown at the massive Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for match No. 12 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Sunday, March 31.
Both teams have accumulated two points each from their initial two encounters in the tournament. Last year’s runner-up, Gujarat Titans, encountered Mumbai Indians at home last week, where newly appointed captain Shubman Gill guided his team to a tense six-run victory against the former five-time champions. Supported by Sai Sudharsan’s 39-ball 45, the Titans posted a challenging total of 168/6 on a tricky pitch before restricting Mumbai to 162/9 in their allotted 20 overs.
Following this triumph, the Titans traveled to the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk to face the Chennai Super Kings in a rematch of last year’s final. The Men in Yellow amassed 206/6 in their 20 overs, dominating the Gujarat bowlers. In response, the visitors could only muster 143/8, suffering a defeat by 63 runs, the most significant margin in terms of runs thus far in IPL 2024.
On the contrary, Sunrisers Hyderabad began their campaign with a heart-wrenching four-run loss at the Eden Gardens against Kolkata Knight Riders. While chasing a formidable target of 209, Heinrich Klaasen spearheaded the charge for the Orange Army with a destructive half-century. With six runs needed off the last four balls and five wickets in hand, Hyderabad seemed poised for victory. However, Harshit Rana held his nerve, securing a thrilling win for the Knight Riders.
