IPL 2025: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad Pitch Report & Stats Ahead of SRH vs GT Match

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will host Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 19 of IPL 2025 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on April 6. The match will begin at 7:30 PM (IST), with both sides looking to strengthen their positions in the points table.

The pitch in Hyderabad has turned out to be a high-scoring one this season. The average first-innings score so far in IPL 2025 is 213, much higher than the venue’s overall average of 166. In their opening game at this ground, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) hammered 286 against Rajasthan Royals, showing how flat and batter-friendly the surface currently is. Bowlers have found it tough, with minimal movement for pacers and not much grip for spinners either.

Out of the 79 IPL matches played at this venue, chasing teams have won 43 times, while teams setting a target have won 35. Interestingly, in this season alone, 16 of the 18 captains have chosen to field first, clearly influenced by the dew and the success of chasing sides. With short boundaries and quick outfield, defending a total becomes difficult, and teams are backing themselves to chase down big scores.

Given their recent 286-run performance here, SRH will feel confident at home. But Gujarat Titans (GT) have the firepower to match them if the pitch plays similarly. The team that adapts better with the ball and handles pressure while bowling in the second innings could come out on top.
