Gujarat Titans
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad will play the 56th match of IPL 2026 at Narendra Modi Stadium. Both teams will enter this contest with 14 points from 11 matches, which will make this one of the most important games in the race for a top-two finish. SRH are slightly ahead because of their stronger net run rate, while GT will come with confidence after 4 consecutive wins.
GT rely heavily on their strong record against SRH. They have won 5 of the 7 meetings between these sides, while SRH have managed only one victory. SRH have also never beaten GT in Ahmedabad, which will give the home side an edge before the match starts.
GTβs recent momentum and home conditions will keep them slightly ahead, but SRHβs batting depth will ensure a close contest throughout the match.
Both teams have multiple top-order batters striking above 150 this season. Ahmedabad usually favours batters so this match is likely to see heavy six-hitting from both sides.
