IPL 2025, Match - 19 | SRH vs GT | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will play against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 19th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The Sunrisers lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last game and are looking to find their form back. Meanwhile, the Titans defeated the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and the team is looking to build on the momentum. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad has suffered three consecutive losses in the tournament. They went down by 80 runs against KKR in the last game. The batting lineup has failed in the last three games, and Pat Cummins needs them to deliver the goods to prevent further derailment. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have failed in the last three games. Ishan Kishan must strike form and add runs in the middle order with Nitish Kumar Reddy and Kamindu Mendis. Heinrich Klaasen adds X-factor to the batting lineup in the lower middle order and shall look to do well with Aniket Verma and Pat Cummins. Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins haven't been at their best at the top, and the team needs them to make early breakthroughs and put the team in a commanding position. 

On the other hand, Gujarat Titans will be confident heading into this game. It was a convincing win for the team in the last game against RCB. Shubman Gill knows the strengths of his opposition and wants his players to play positively. Sai Sudharsan is in good form. Jos Buttler played a match-winning knock in the last game, and he must build partnerships with Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan in the middle order. Rahul Tewatia, Arshad Khan, and Rashid Khan will look to add quick runs in the final overs. Kagiso Rabada's sudden exit has hurt the balance of this bowling attack. Mohammad Siraj and Mohammad Arshad Khan must get the early breakthroughs to put the team in a strong position. However Rashid Khan's lack of form is a big concern.

Prediction

Gujarat Titans have their batters in good form, but the bowling attack looks weak. They will have to bowl on the flattest IPL track in this game, and the onus will be on the bowling attack to execute its plans for the team's win. Whereas, the Sunrisers Hyderabad have firepower with the bat and an excellent record at this venue. Hence, SRH are favourites to win this clash.
