The 51st match of IPL 2025 will be played between Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad in Ahmedabad on May 2. Both teams need to win to stay in the playoff race. An exciting match is expected on the batsman-friendly pitch of Narendra Modi Stadium.

GT vs SRH: The 51st league match of the IPL 2025 season will be played on May 2 at 7:30 pm at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad teams will face each other. The importance of this match also increases because both the teams would like to win this match at all costs to stay in the playoff race.

Gujarat's position is strong, but not out of danger

The Gujarat Titans team started this season in a strong manner and was at the top of the points table at one time. However, there has been a slight decline in performance in recent matches. The team has so far secured 12 points with 6 wins in 9 matches and is currently in fourth place. In such a situation, victory in this match has become very important for them to ensure a place in the playoffs.

Last chance for Hyderabad

On the other hand, this season has been disappointing for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Being able to register only 3 wins in 9 matches exposes their weaknesses. The team is currently in the 9th position and if they have to keep their playoff hopes alive, this match will be a do or die for them.

Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch – Batsmen's Favourite

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is known for its batting-friendly pitch. Although the fast bowlers may get some swing and bounce at the start of the match, as the game progresses, batsmen will find it easier to score runs. The average score on this ground is between 180-190, so the team winning the toss, if they bat first, can try to cross the 200 mark, especially keeping in mind the role of dew.

So far 39 IPL matches have been played on this ground, out of which the team batting first has won 18, while the team chasing the target has been successful 21 times. This figure shows that the role of the toss can be decisive.

Head to Head: Gujarat's dominance

A total of 5 matches have been played between the two teams in IPL so far, in which Gujarat Titans has won 4 times. Sunrisers Hyderabad has managed to win only one match. It is clear from this record that Gujarat has a psychological edge, but every day is new in cricket and Hyderabad will also enter the field with the intention of doing something different this time.
