SRH vs GT Dream11 Prediction, IPL 2024, Match 66: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans playing XI, fantasy team and squads

The ‘number 4’ Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on the ‘eliminated’ and ‘number 7’ Gujarat Titans in the 66th match of the ongoing IPL 2024. The match is going to be an all-important one and a must-win for the Sunrisers Hyderabad to strengthen their chances of qualification in the playoff stage of the tournament.

Currently, the Sunrisers are in the fourth spot of the points table of the tournament, with 14 points, having 7 wins and 5 defeats in the 12 matches they have played so far. On the other hand, Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans will be looking ahead to end their IPL 2024 campaign on a winning note with a consolation as they have already been eliminated from the playoff race.

Pitch Report

The surface at the Barsapra Cricket Stadium in Guwahati favours the batting, especially in the second innings; the records and stats also say the same as the chasing side has won 42 games here in comparison to the 34 wins of the team batting first.

The toss might play a crucial role as the toss-winning team has failed to judge this track so far; it is being said because the team winning the toss has won only 28 matches out of the total 76 IPL matches that have been played here while the team losing the toss has won 48 games here. The captain winning the toss might opt to bowl first to chase down the target comfortably in the second innings.

SRH vs GT Must Picks for Dream11 Cricket

Sai Sudharsan – GT’s top batter in the current season is also the 4th overall leading run-scorer in the tournament. He also smashed an amazing century, alongside skipper Shubman Gill. So, Sudharsan can be also picked as a priority in the fantasy team for the SRH vs GT Dream11 match.

Suggested Playing XI No. 1 for SRH vs GT Dream11 Cricket Fantasy

Travis Head (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Heinrich Klaasen (WK), Abhishek Sharma, Sai Sudharsan, Shahrukh Khan, K Nitish Reddy, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohit Sharma, Rashid Khan, and T Natarajan.

SRH vs GT Risky Captaincy Choices

Bhuvneshwar Kumar – The veteran SRH pacer has performed quite brilliantly in the last few matches; he has scalped 11 wickets in 12 innings with an economy rate of 9.13. But the consistency has been an issue with him in the current season so far. So, it could be a risky decision to make him captain of the fantasy team.

Mohit Sharma – The senior GT pacer has scalped 13 wickets in 11 innings, with an expensive economy rate of 10.89 and a bowling strike rate of 18.00. So, making him captain of the fantasy team might not sound wise owing to the ‘concern of consistency’ and the expensive strike rate.
