Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat titans match

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) won a vital match against Gujarat Titans (GT) in a nail-biting game that had the spectators on the edge of their seats until the last over. The game, played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, witnessed Hyderabad make a comeback with a fighting all-round effort, strengthening their hold in the IPL 2025 table.

Having won the toss, Sunrisers chose to bat and scored a total of 187/6 off their 20 overs. Abhishek Sharma provided a blistering begin, hitting a brisk 42 off 26 deliveries, while Aiden Markram provided the anchor with a sturdy 55. Gujarat’s bowling attack, led by Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan, maintained the run rate within limits in the middle overs but could not stem the late charge by Heinrich Klaasen, who hit 32* off mere 15 balls to provide SRH a strong finish.

Gujarat Titans responded with a troubled beginning, losing opener Wriddhiman Saha early. Skipper Shubman Gill, however, steadied the innings with a elegant 63 off 45. But constant wickets and climbing required run-rate rate gave pressure to the Titans. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Hyderabad’s bowling leader, took two wickets in the death overs, while young spinner Mayank Markande also delivered crucial breakthroughs.

The Titans came up 12 runs short at 175/8 after a late resurgence by Rahul Tewatia, who attempted to revive hope with a swift cameo. The Hyderabad bowlers implemented their strategies well under duress, with better death bowling – an area of weakness in previous games.

With this win, Sunrisers Hyderabad move up in the points table, showing signs of hitting their stride at the right time. Captain Pat Cummins praised the team’s resilience, saying, “We’re building momentum now. Everyone is contributing and that’s a great sign for us going forward.”

For Gujarat Titans, it was an opportunity lost to move further up the table. Gill and Tewatia sparkled, but the middle order failed when needed the most. They’ll have to pick up the pieces soon as the tournament gets intense.

The Sunrisers now look ahead to their next game, hoping to sustain the winning momentum, whereas Gujarat will look to come back stronger in their next match.
