Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 66 of the IPL 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Thursday (May 16). SRH, who are currently fourth in the points table with 14 points, are just one win away from securing a playoff spot.
On the other hand, GT were the third team to be eliminated from the playoff race after their previous encounter against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) got washed out. The home side are in tremendous form on the back of a resounding 10-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their last match.

Injury and availability news
(Will be added when there is an update)
Pitch Report
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is known for its batting-friendly pitches. This is the same venue where the SRH openers chased down a target of 166 in just 9.4 overs. A high-scoring encounter is more likely to happen, but the bowlers will also help as the game progresses.
Player Picks
Travis Head SRH | BAT
Travis Head is currently the third-highest run-getter with 533 runs at an average of 53.30 and a strike rate of 201.89. The Australian is in red form and opponents will find it difficult to find a cheat code to beat him.
Abhishek Sharma SRH | ALL
Another SRH opener who is in sublime form. The southpaw has scored 401 runs at an average of 36.45 and a whopping strike rate of 205.64. He can give SRH a flying start in the powerplay along with Travis Head.
Sai Sudharsan GT | BAT
Sai Sudarshan has been the top performer for GT this season. The left-hander has amassed 527 runs at an average of 47.91 and a strike rate of 141.29. Notably, he scored his maiden IPL ton in the last game.
Shubman Gill GT | BAT
The captain leads the team from the front with 426 runs at an average of 38.73 and a strike rate of 147.40. He slammed his 4th IPL century in the last match while putting on a 200+ run partnership with Sai Sudharsan.
Heinrich Klaasen SRH | WK
Heinrich Klaasen is the backbone of SRH’s middle order. Known for his power-hitting, the Proteas batter can take bowlers to the cleaners and help the team post a massive total on the board.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar SRH | BOWL
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been showing his class in recent matches. He produced a match-winning performance against RR with a three-wicket haul and took two wickets at an economy of just 3.00 in their last match against LSG.
Pat Cummins SRH | BOWL
Pat Cummins has taken 14 wickets so far this season. Though he is leaking a bit of runs, SRH is getting benefitted from the skipper’s wicket-taking ability. He can also chip in with some crucial runs in the lower order.
Mohit Sharma GT | BOWL
Mohit Sharma is the head of GT’s pace department. The right-arm pacer took three wickets at an economy rate of 7.80 in their last match against CSK.
Shahrukh Khan GT | BAT
Since being promoted to No. 4, Shahrukh Khan has upped his game. He brings stability in the middle order and helps accelerate the scoring rate with his big hits.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Mayank Markande
SRH | BOWL
Mayank Markande hasn’t been impressive this season. The leg-spinner leaked a lot of runs and failed to deliver crucial breakthroughs.
Matthew Wade
GT | WK
Matthew Wade hasn’t got much opportunity this season. There are no good reasons to pick him in your fantasy teams. Also, the keeper-batter has not been in great form in recent times.
