GT vs SRH Dream11 Prediction: Gujarat Titans are clearly the better and in-form side of the two. But Ahmedabad has been a good venue for batting and SRH has a very strong batting unit, on paper and they can turn the table in this game. Gujarat Titans, based on current form and team balance, are expected to win this game.
Match: Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, Match 61
Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Gujarat Titans lost their last game against the Mumbai Indians by 27 runs.
Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad were defeated by the Lucknow Super Giants by 7 wickets in their last game.
Gujarat is at the top of the points table while Sunrisers have failed to get going as a team this season. It’s a do-or-die game for the Men in Orange.
The Titans will look to confirm their place in the playoffs by winning this match. They will be eager to bounce back on the winning track as well.
Rashid Khan picked up 4 wickets and then scored 79* runs in the last game. He will be a crucial player for his team.
Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya will be important for the Titans with the bat. Pandya is expected to bowl a few overs in this game.
Mohammad Shami will be a key bowler for his team as pacers get good help at the venue with the new ball and Shami has been phenomenal in the first six overs.
Aiden Markram, Rahul Tripathi and Glenn Phillips must perform well with the bat.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Naratrajan also need to step up and pick up a few wickets in this game.
Heinrich Klaasen has scored 262 runs at an average of 43.67 and has struck at 180.69. He will be a key batter for Hyderabad in the middle overs.
New ball bowlers will be important from both sides and openers/top-order batters from the chasing team will be important as there is a good help for the pacers initially and it gets easy to bat on in the second innings.
Shubman Gill averages 60.6 and strikes at 157.0 at Ahmedad this season.
Mohammed Shami has 11 wickets in 6 games at Ahmedabad in IPL 2023. His economy is 6.17 and his strike rate is 13.1. 7 out of the 11 wickets have come in the first 6 overs.

Poor form alert (GT)
Alzarri Joseph has been wicket-less in his last 3 innings.
Poor form alert (SRH)
Rahul Tripathi has crossed “20 runs” just once in his last 5 innings.
T Natarajan has gone wicket-less in his last two innings.
Markande has picked up 2 wickets in the previous three games.
Pick Glenn Phillips. Shami has been phenomenal with the ball and he is expected to pick atleast 1 or 2 wickets in the power play. Phillips’ fantasy value increases if this happens.
You can drop Wriddhiman Saha if Gujarat bats first. He averages 19 at the venue and will be against Bhuvneshwar Kumar and one of Fazalhaq Farooqi or Marco Jansen.
Vijay Shankar looked in fine touch in the last game. He will bat at number 4 for Gujarat and will be an excellent differential pick in fantasy cricket.
Alzarri Joseph bowls 145+ consistently and is a hit-the-deck bowler. He can trouble the SRH batters with his pace and bounce and will help you win one-sided in fantasy cricket if he performs in this game.
Pick Mohit Sharma and Noor Ahmad. Both are in terrific form and are bowling the key overs for Gujarat. They can pick up a few wickets between them and it’ll be very helpful as their respective selection percentages at the moment are 30.13% and 21.48%.
Drop all the bowlers from Hyderabad if Gujarat is bowling first. It’s a bit risky but it’s worth the risk and can be an excellent differential move.
Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Hardik Pandya (c), Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Abhinav Manohar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Alzarri Joseph, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma
Probable Impact Sub: Shubman Gill
Anmolpreet Singh, Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Glenn Phillips, Abdul Samad, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Fazalhaq Farooqi/Marco Jansen, Mayank Markande, T Natarajan
Probable Impact Sub: Vivrant Sharma

Spots left: 8
Highest ownerships from the outside base team: Saha, Miller, Bhuvneshwar, Abhishek Sharma
Saha vs Miller
Pick both if Gujarat is chasing. The pitch gets a little easier to bat in the 2nd innings so Saha is a good option and he may fetch some points from wicket-keeping as well in the first innings.
David Miller has a phenomenal record while chasing. You can also take the risk of dropping him considering SRH are not expected to score that big if they bat first. But it may backfire badly.
Shankar vs Saha
Pick Vijay Shankar if Gujarat is batting first. He will bat at 4 and looked in good touch in the last game. He can score some runs if he gets to face enough deliveries.
Pick Saha if Gujarat is chasing.
Abhishek vs Farooqi/Jansen
You can consider dropping Abhishek if Hyderabad bats first. There is plenty of assistance with the new ball at Ahmedabad and he can fall prey to Shami or even Hardik in the power play in the first innings.
Pick both Abhishek and Farooqi/Jansen if SRH is chasing.
If GT bats first
Complete team with the inclusion of three of Abhishek, Farooqi/Jansen and Shankar
Captaincy choices: Rashid, Hardik, Gill
Do not captain: Rahul Tripathi
If SRH bats first
Complete team with three of Phillips, Joseph and Tripathi
Captaincy choices: Hardik, Shami and Rashid
Do not captain: Markram
