Gujarat Titans will be taking on SunRisers Hyderabad in the 12th match of the IPL 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. As the two-time finalists from the last two seasons, GT have retained most of their core group of players for the upcoming IPL, which will keep them in good stead in the tournament. On the other side, SRH, who finished last in the 2023 edition, will look to redeem themselves, registering their highest-ever score in IPL history in their last fixture in Hyderabad.
