GT vs SRH, IPL 2023: Toss result and playing 11s for today's match, umpires list and pitch report

Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match number 62 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday, May 15.

With 16 points from 12 matches, Gujarat have one foot in the playoffs. Another win will confirm their berth. Hyderabad, meanwhile, have eight points from 11 games and even three victories in their remaining games might not be enough for them to finish in the top four.

In their previous match, GT went down to Mumbai Indians (MI) by 27 runs. The loss was a good wake-up call for the team ahead of the playoffs. Suryakumar Yadav bludgeoned their bowling with a hundred. GT's batting also struggled, barring Rashid Khan’s 79* off 32, which significantly reduced the margin of defeat.

SRH, on the other hand, succumbed to a seven-wicket loss to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their previous game. Defending a total of 182, they had the upper hand with five overs to go. However, a 31-run over from Abhishek Sharma swung the match in LSG’s favor. Hyderabad will find it difficult to lift themselves.

Today’s GT vs SRH pitch report

According to Samuel Badree and Rohan Gavaskar, it's a fresh surface, unused. There's a little bit of moisture, but it's a hot day, so this moisture will dry out in another couple of hours. There are certain spots a little darker than what the pitch color generally is. Once the moisture dries out, it's a good pitch to bat on. It's all going to be about the batters in this contest.
