Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, Match 40
Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Date & Time: 27th April at 7:30 PM IST and Local Time
Live Streaming: Star Sports Network and Disney+Hotstar

In the 40th match of IPL 2022, Gujarat Titans will face Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday (April 27). Titans have been the most influential team of the tournament. They have won six of their seven matches in the competition and are now second on the points table. However, given that GT’s only defeat was against SRH, it could be an uphill battle for them. SRH had a poor start after losing their first two games against RR and LSG. The Orange Army returned to the league after two consecutive defeats. They have now won five in a row and are currently in the third spot in the points table.
