Pitch Conditions
The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium can be flat and hard, which is advantageous to the spinners. The seamers are unlikely to receive much help from the surface. For the hitters to play their shots comfortably, the pitch should have a little bounce to it, especially early in the game when they are facing a hard new ball. This pitch would be a batting pitch.
SRH vs GT Head-to-Head Records
In 4 IPL matches, Gujarat and Hyderabad have faced off against one another. Gujarat has won three of these four matches, whereas Hyderabad has only won once.
