SRH vs GT (19th Match) – Highlights

In the SRH vs GT,19th match of the Indian Premier League 2025, Gujarat Titans registered a commanding seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Chasing a target of 153, GT put on a clinical performance with both bat and ball to seal the victory with 20 balls to spare.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, opting to bat first, never quite got the momentum they would have hoped for. Travis Head fell early in the first over, caught by Sai Sudharsan off a brilliant delivery from Mohammed Siraj. Abhishek Sharma tried to anchor the innings, hitting a few boundaries, but was dismissed for 18, again by Siraj. Ishan Kishan and Nitish Kumar Reddy added some stability, but the scoring rate remained modest. Klaasen injected some energy with a quick 27 off 19 balls, but wickets kept tumbling at crucial stages.

Nitish Kumar Reddy top-scored with 31 from 34 deliveries, but the innings never really lifted off. Aniket Verma and Pat Cummins chipped in late, with Cummins smashing 22 off just 9 balls, including three boundaries and a six. However, Sunrisers could only manage 152 for 8 in their 20 overs. The star of the bowling attack was undoubtedly Mohammed Siraj, who dismantled the SRH top and middle order with figures of 4 for 17. He was supported well by Prasidh Krishna and Sai Kishore, who claimed two wickets each.

In response, Gujarat Titans had a slightly shaky start, losing Sai Sudharsan early to Mohammed Shami. Jos Buttler followed soon after for a duck, falling to a clever delivery from Pat Cummins. With the score at 16 for 2, SRH sensed an opportunity, but GT skipper Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar had other plans. Gill played a captain’s knock, anchoring the chase with a composed 61 off 43 deliveries. His innings was filled with elegant strokes, finding gaps with ease and keeping the scoreboard ticking.

Washington Sundar played a match-defining cameo, scoring 49 off just 29 balls. He took the attack to the bowlers, smashing five fours and two sixes before falling to Shami. By then, GT were firmly in control. Sherfane Rutherford came in and finished things off in style with a blistering 35 not out from just 16 balls, hammering six boundaries and one six to close the chase in just 16.4 overs.

With the ball, SRH lacked the penetration needed to defend a modest total. Shami was the pick of the bowlers with 2 for 28, while Cummins claimed one wicket. However, the rest of the attack struggled to contain the flow of runs, with Simarjeet Singh going for 20 in his solitary over and Zeeshan Ansari conceding 33 in his four.

Mohammed Siraj was rightfully named Player of the Match for his devastating four-wicket haul. His early breakthroughs set the tone and restricted SRH to a below-par score, making the chase a comfortable one for the Titans.
