IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans Beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 Wickets for Third Straight Win:

Sunrisers Hyderabad slumped to their fourth straight defeat in IPL 2025, this time at home against Gujarat Titans. GT chased down a modest 153 with ease, winning by seven wickets and recording their third consecutive victory of the season.

SRH Innings: Cummins' Late Surge Lifts Total to 152

SRH struggled on a slow, dry Hyderabad pitch, managing 152/8 in their 20 overs. Early blows saw Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma depart within the first five overs to Mohammed Siraj, who returned later to finish with standout figures of 4/17.

PowerPlay: 45/2 – Early losses dented momentum.

Middle Overs: 60/2 – Slow rebuild by Nitish Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen.

Death Overs: 47/4 – Pat Cummins provided a much-needed 22 off 9 balls cameo.

Despite Klaasen hitting the innings’ only six, SRH couldn’t fully capitalize, with Sai Kishore and Siraj applying consistent pressure.

GT Innings: Gill and Sundar Lead the Charge

After losing Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler early, Gujarat Titans turned the game around with a solid 90-run partnership between Washington Sundar (promoted to No.4) and Shubman Gill.

PowerPlay: 48/2 – Washington counterattacked with two sixes and two fours in a 20-run over.

Middle Overs: 82/1 – Gill (61*) and Sundar (49) dominated SRH’s bowling.

Death Overs: 23/0 – Gill and Sherfane Rutherford closed out the chase with ease.

Rutherford’s boundary spree and Gill’s composure ensured GT reached the target in just 16.4 overs.

Where the Match Was Won

The middle overs proved decisive. SRH’s sluggish scoring rate of 6.67 was overshadowed by GT’s aggressive 9.11, with a clear edge in boundary count (12 vs 6). SRH failed to break the Gill-Sundar stand, which tilted the match heavily in GT’s favor.

Match Summary

Sunrisers Hyderabad – 152/8 (Nitish Reddy 31, Klaasen 27; Siraj 4-17, R Sai Kishore 2-24)
Gujarat Titans – 153/3 in 16.4 overs (Shubman Gill 61*, Washington Sundar 49; Shami 2-28)
