GT vs SRH IPL 2024 LIVE Score: Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat against Gujarat Titans. After a resounding victory against five-time champions Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad reach Ahmedabad hoping to bag their second consecutive win of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 campaign. The Sunrisers broke some of the biggest IPL records as they ripped apart the 5-time champions MI in their last match. Gujarat Titans, who were the finalists last year, also received a beating at the hands of defending champions Chennai Super Kings in their last outing. The match will give SRH skipper Pat Cummins an additional motivation to win since it’s the same venue where he led the Australian ODI team to the World Cup triumph last year (LIVE Scorecard).

GT vs SRH LIVE: Pitch report
“It’s a warm afternoon here in Ahmedabad. Dimensions – if I am looking to cut/punch through the metres – 66 metres, dab towards third man – that’s 58 metres, pull/hook – 63 metres, scoop – 53 metres and down the ground – that’s 73 metres. On the surface, this looks a very good pitch. Looks like a batting beauty. It’s an absolute road, it looks like a tremendous wicket. There’s quite a nice breeze flowing across the ground, so that might help the players tremendously. It’s going to reach 38 or 40 degrees here. In the day games played here, teams batting first have scored 200, once it was defended and on another occasion it wasn’t. We’ve got Sunrisers Hyderabad up here. Sunrisers are gonna come here and they are gonna look at this wicket and they are going to think, ‘maybe we can get 270 again.’ There’s an even covering of grass, it’s a beautiful, beautiful wicket. In spite of this being a big stadium, plenty of runs here. You can chase down a big score. One thing the groundsman said, it’s black soil, moisture doesn’t stay too long, it’s a good surface to bat.”
