Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad pitch report

The pitch report for the SRH vs GT match will be live on Star Sports and JioCinema before the toss happens. The pitch supports the batters generally, and the bowlers would have likely had a sleepless night yesterday.

Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma made a mockery of the 166-run target in the previous match against Lucknow Super Giants. Even 300 seemed possible on the surface in that innings.

SRH crushed LSG by 10 wickets in the previous IPL game hosted by this stadium. Unbeaten half-centuries from Head and Sharma inspired the home side to a 10-wicket victory.

When LSG batted, it seemed like the pitch supported batters and bowlers equally. However, in the second innings, the SRH openers showed that the pitch was best for batting.

Brief scores: SRH 167/0 (Travis Head 89*, Abhishek Sharma 75*) beat LSG 165/4 (Ayush Badoni 55*, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/12) by 10 wickets.
