HYDERABAD: It will be a great game as Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Gujarat Titans at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Sunrisers have 14 points, if they win today then they are through to the playoffs. If they win both games they would finish no worse than second place. Their next match is on May 19 against Punjab Kings.
SRH, Chennai Super Kings (14) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (12) are vying for the other two spots, with Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals sitting pretty at the top. A CSK and RCB defeat here will brighten their prospects. Delhi Capitals ended their league campaign with 14 points but net run-rate is likely to go against them.

After crushing LSG in their last game, they had a break of one week before this clash and so are expected to take it easy. In such kind of form it would be hard to see them losing easily after demolishing Super Giants, chasing down 166 in just 9.4 overs.
Openers Travis Head (533) and Abhishek Sharma (401) have been on a rampage this season. With a strike rate above 200 for both players in the Poverplay phase of this competition, Head has been among the top-three run getters of the league.
Moreover, Aiden Markram, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen and Abdul Samad also add more fire power to their bat ting unit which includes middle order batsmen fighting for batting positions as well as bowlers who can contribute with bat as well.The bowling department too has been delivering consistently.

T Natarajan (15 wickets), Pat Cummins (14) and veteran Bhuvneshwar Kumar (11) are expected to continue the good work.
The chances of GT appearing in playoffs this season are very slim. The washout against KKR was a dampener as Titans looked to stay alive with a 35-run win over CSK.
Titans have used 23 different players this season, constantly changing and chopping, all in vain. David Miller’s indifferent form was also not good enough.
