IPL 2025: SRH vs GT – Match 19 Preview
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 19 of the IPL 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday, April 6.
SRH come into this contest on the back of a heavy defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), where they were bundled out for just 120 while chasing a target of 201. The KKR bowling duo of Vaibhav Arora and Varun Chakravarthy dismantled SRH’s batting lineup, never allowing them to settle into the chase.
Earlier, KKR posted a strong total thanks to key contributions from Venkatesh Iyer, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Rinku Singh, and Ajinkya Rahane. With just one win in three games, SRH currently sit at the bottom of the points table, and pressure is mounting on Pat Cummins’ side to turn things around — especially with the advantage of playing at home.
