GT vs SRH: Pitch Report
Opened in 1983, the venue was once known as the Motera Stadium. With more than 1.32,000 seats, it is currently the biggest cricket venue in both India and the world
Many people consider the Narendra Modi Stadium to be a batsman's paradise. Players may hit the ball in any direction more easily thanks to the red soil's five layers. However, this is detrimental to spinners, who often struggle to be as effective as pacers.

GT vs SRH: Prediction
Both GT and SRH are one of the better teams this season. They have played two games each, winning one and losing one.
The teams boast exciting batting lineups, and have incredible batting depth. Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, David Miller will be the key personnel for GT, while SRH's batting burden will be handled by Travis Head, Aiden Markram, and Heinrich Klaasen. The other batsmen are no pushovers, though.
The bowling of the two teams is where there might be some gulf. While GT lost Mohammed Shami due to injury, they still have Mohit Sharma firing on all cylinders, while new signing Spencer Johnson has shown promise.
SRH seem to be over-reliant on skipper Pat Cummins to deliver the goods. Veteran Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been leaking runs at a premium, while GT have far superior quality in the spin department.
GT have been impressive in their own den, so they have a better chance of winning this game.
GT vs SRH: Betting odds
According to odds on Dafabet, GT are the slight favourites to win the match against SRH.
