The 12th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 will see the Gujarat Titans (GT) clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on March 31, 2024, at 3:30 pm (IST).
In another cracker of a match (13th Match) tonight, The Chennai Super Kings will face the Delhi Capitals, at Visakhapatnam at 7:30 PM.
Pat Cummins has won the toss, and SRH will bat first. No change in their squad that beat the Mumbai Indians in their previous match.

Watch this match live, depending on your location:

USA: Willow TV
Current Form:
GT: The Titans started the season in a mixed fashion, defeating the Mumbai Indians in a last-ball thriller and losing an easy match against the Chennai Super Kings by 63 runs.
Their batting has become the reason for concern, as only the new entrant Sai Sudharsan has proven to be in the form.
SRH: The Sunrisers Hyderabad are now high on confidence after they recently registered the highest-ever team total in IPL history of 277 as they beat the Mumbai Indians.
The opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head have been in outstanding form, and Heinrich Klaasen’s late hitting in the middle order with his power shots has also been sublime.
Head-to-Head Record:
Despite the contrasting performance in IPL 2024, Gujarat Titans have the upper hand in the head-to-head record with Sunrisers Hyderabad, winning 2 of the 3 games.
However, they outplayed their opponent just once, which also happened during the IPL 2023 at the Narendra Modi stadium.
Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is called a batsman’s paradise because of its batting-friendly pitches. The average first innings score at this ground is 172, and both teams will want to use this to their advantage by batting as big as possible.
The hot afternoon weather conditions (approx. 35°C by toss time) might favor the team bowling first, as their bowlers could tire at the end of the day.
Key Players to Watch:
GT: Sai Sudharsan (the one in the form to keep it going with the bat) and Rashid Khan (escape for SRH from the labyrinth of the batting)
SRH: Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head (the duo with a record of several successful opening partnerships) and Heinrich Klaasen (the explosive middle-order batsman)
This match will be difficult to forget, being between two teams with different histories.
The team that can maintain the pressure conditions more diligently and execute their plans more effectively will likely be a winner.
