IPL 2024 Match 66 | SRH vs GT | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on the Gujarat Titans in match 66 of IPL 2024. The Sunrisers have won seven matches and lost five matches so far. They are currently in fourth place in the points table, thus, they would like to continue their winning momentum. On the other hand, the Titans have won five matches and lost seven matches so far. They are already out of the playoff race. 

SunRisers Hyderabad, who started off the season on a losing note, went on to make a mark for themselves in the 2024 season. The team led by Pat Cummins broke several records and emerged as one of the most threatening teams in the tournament. In the last game, SRH started the innings with a bang, openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma started to smash from the first ball in the powerplay as usual and played magnificent innings. In bowling, Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled beautifully which helped the Sunrisers restrict Super Giants to under-par total of 165. The team look very well placed to go through to the play-offs but they will need to maintain their recent form and will want to go through to the knockouts with winning momentum.

On the other hand, Gujarat Titans, who won their first maiden IPL trophy in the year of their inception failed to make it to playoffs this year. GT lost their momentum mid-season, and despite several efforts, it failed to leave an impact. It will be tough for Shubman Gill's side to get themselves up for this trip to Hyderabad and if their bowling attack starts to be hit around the ground then it could be a very long evening. However, with the bat, skipper Gill and opener Sai Sudharsan are both in fantastic form and their best chance could well be to bat first and post an intimidating total. The team will look to end the season on a positive side with a win in this fixture.

Pitch Report

The surface at this venue is a flat surface and the pitch is known for helping the spinners. However, it is also good for batters. Bowlers do have some assistance, as the pacers get some early swing, and the spinners can get some turn. Ideally, the team that wins the toss should opt to field first considering the dew factor at the ground. 

Weather Report

The weather forecast for this game is expected to be cloudy. The temperature is likely to be around 29°C on the match day with 59% humidity and 7 km/h wind speed. There are 38% chances of precipitation during the game.
