Gujarat Titans (GT) will lock horns with the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 40th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday.
After a poor start to their IPL 2022 campaign, the Sunrisers have stormed back in style, winning five games on the trot. They come into the game on the back of a dominant win against Royal Challengers Bangalore and look to string in another win. They face Gujarat Titans, who are perhaps the team to beat in IPL 2022. But Hardik Pandya and Co. will look to avenge their loss at the hands of SRH earlier in the season. With two of the best IPL teams of the season butting heads, a thrilling contest is on the cards at the Wankhede.

GT vs SRH Pitch Report
The pitch at Wankhede has been slightly two-paced, with batters having to bide their time in the middle before going big. The average first-innings total at the venue this year is 169, with the last three games being won by the teams batting first. Although the pacers will get some help early on with the new ball, they will revert to wide lines and slower balls as the match progresses. The spinners will be key in the middle overs given the nature of the track. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with the dew factor likely to play a part as well.

Today’s GT vs SRH Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Nicholas Pooran: Nicholas Pooran has played his role to perfection in the middle order, seeing off tricky chases with mature performances alongside Aiden Markram. The southpaw is one of the most explosive batters in the competition and can easily take the attack to the opposition. With Pooran due for a trademark blitzkrieg in IPL 2022, he is a fine addition to your GT vs SRH Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Shubman Gill: Shubman Gill, who started the season in fine fashion, hasn't fired in the last few games, leaving Gujarat shorthanded in the powerplay phase. Gill's ability against both pace and spin holds him in good stead ahead of the game. With the conditions also suiting his batting skill-set, Gill is a must-have in your GT vs SRH Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya has been sensational with the bat in IPL 2022 with valuable contributions in the middle order. He is Gujarat Titans' highest run-scorer so far, with his intent and experience serving him well. While Pandya isn't likely to roll his arm over, his batting prowess should earn him a spot in your fantasy team.
Bowler
T Natarajan: T Natarajan has been the best pacer in IPL 2022 with 15 wickets in just seven games. Although the left-armer has been brilliant across all phases, it is his death-bowling skills that have attracted the most plaudits. Given his recent form, Natarajan could be backed to pick up a few wickets today.
