Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will host the Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 66th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The SRH vs GT encounter will take place on May 16, 2024, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

The hosts are coming into this SRH vs GT clash, after a thumping victory over the Lucknow Super Giants by 10 wickets, where they chased down 166 inside the first 10 overs. With the win, the Sunrisers find themselves in the fourth position in the points table with seven wins in 12 games at a net run rate (NRR) of +0.406.

Even though the 2016 champions incredibly began their 2024 IPL campaign with five wins in the first seven games, they slipped a little in the middle phase of the tournament, where they faced three defeats in the last five clashes. A win for the Hyderabad side in the SRH vs GT face-off will almost confirm their playoff spot for the 17th season of the competition.

On the other side, Gujarat Titans are already eliminated from the competition after their washout in the previous game against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). With five wins in 13 games, they are at the eighth position currently and will look to avoid the bottom position.

The Titans had a horrible 2024 season, where they never won two back-to-back games. After every single victory, they have faced a defeat in the following game. In the last five encounters, their only victory, except the washout, came against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 35 runs. In the reverse fixture of the SRH vs GT fixture, the latter handed the former a seven-wicket defeat.

The SRH vs GT game will be so vital for the Sunrisers to release the pressure, and keep them ahead in the race to the playoff.
