GT vs SRH match prediction

Very tough to predict the winner with two strong sides eyeing a top spot on the points table.

GT have been a force at Narendra Modi Stadium, whereas SRH have got the capability to crush any bowling attack on their day.

But the batting-friendly surface in Ahmedabad can slightly favour Sunrisers Hyderabad, especially with their explosive top order.
