Tata IPL 2025 Match Prediction: Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview
As we approach another high-octane Tata IPL 2025 clash, Gujarat Titans are gearing up to host Sunrisers Hyderabad at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. For those looking to make the most of the thrilling action, platforms like Winexch offer exclusive live streaming and betting opportunities to stay ahead of the game. With both teams battling hard to keep their playoff hopes alive, today’s Tata IPL 2025 match prediction promises to be a fascinating contest.
It’s barely been 72 hours since Gujarat Titans faced a brutal onslaught from 14-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a match that left their bowling attack in shambles. Recovering from such an assault isn’t easy — and the challenge only intensifies as they now prepare to counter the dangerous opening duo of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. In that drubbing at Jaipur, six of the seven Titans bowlers went for over 10 runs an over, with four conceding at an economy rate of more than 16. Chasing a daunting 210-run target, their opponents had crossed the line with a staggering 25 balls to spare — a stat that speaks volumes of the Titans’ struggles with the ball.
Yet, not all hope is lost for Gujarat. They can draw confidence from their earlier clash this season against Sunrisers Hyderabad where Mohammed Siraj dismantled the SRH openers within five overs. Prasidh Krishna impressed with a tight spell, and Sai Kishore rose in prominence by removing the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen. A crucial tactical element to watch will be skipper Shubman Gill's deployment of Sai Kishore — who surprisingly wasn’t brought on when Jaiswal and Suryavanshi were dismantling their attack. Against another left-hander heavy SRH line-up, expect Kishore to feature prominently.
From a batting standpoint, Gujarat Titans are riding high. The formidable top order comprising Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, and Shubman Gill are all among the top seven run-getters of Tata IPL 2025. Their consistent performances have been the backbone of the Titans’ campaign so far. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad recently secured a morale-boosting win over Chennai Super Kings, keeping their playoff hopes alive. However, the road ahead remains steep as they likely need to win all of their remaining five fixtures, starting with this crucial encounter.

Gujarat Titans — Team News & Key Matchups
While Titans await Kagiso Rabada’s fitness clearance, the focus will be on whether Karim Janat gets another chance after conceding 30 runs in a single over on debut. A tactical matchup to watch is Ishan Kishan versus GT’s spin duo of Washington Sundar and Rashid Khan. Kishan has historically struggled against them — striking at just 89.36 and 116.41 respectively, with Rashid dismissing him twice.
Probable Playing XI:
Shubman Gill (C), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler (WK), Sherfane Rutherford, Shahrukh Khan, Washington Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Sai Kishore, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Karim Janat/Ishant Sharma
Sunrisers Hyderabad — Team News & Key Matchups
SRH’s inclusion of Kamindu Mendis at Chepauk proved fruitful and it will be a tough call to leave him out even in pace-friendly Ahmedabad. Expect Simarjeet Singh to come in for Jaydev Unadkat to strengthen their fast bowling. SRH will aim to exploit Gujarat's fragile middle order — GT’s batters from positions 4 to 7 have combined for just 412 runs in 9 games with no half-centuries, a clear weakness Pat Cummins’ men will target.
Probable Playing XI:
Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (WK), Aniket Verma, Kamindu Mendis, Pat Cummins (C), Harshal Patel, Simarjeet Singh, Zeeshan Ansari, Mohammed Shami

Tata IPL 2025 Match Prediction — Who Has the Edge?
Given Gujarat Titans’ dominant head-to-head record and their red-hot top order, they will start as favourites at home. However, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s explosive openers and an all-rounder like Kamindu Mendis give them a puncher’s chance — especially if their bowlers can crack open GT’s fragile middle order early. Expect a high-scoring thriller.
