IPL 2022, Match 40 GT vs SRH, Stats Preview: Players records and approaching milestones

Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad will be facing each other in the 40th match of IPL 2022, to be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In the previous IPL season, SRH finished at the bottom of the points table, while GT is playing their debut IPL season. So far in this season, both the teams are occupying the top two spots in the points table, with Gujarat Titans first and Sunrisers Hyderabad second. GT has won six and lost one, while SRH has won five and lost two matches this season.

SRH will be playing their first match at Wankhede Stadium this season, while GT defeated LSG at this ground in their first match. Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, and Nicholas Pooran have all been consistent with the bat this season. The only batting issue with SRH is Kane Williamson’s poor form and his ability to accelerate. SRH have a top bowling unit, with all their bowlers being impressive.

Gujarat Titans, despite being on the top of the table, have an issue with their opening batters being highly inconsistent. Their captain Hardik Pandya has been phenomenal this season, scoring fifties in each of his last three innings. Like their opponent, GT also has a formidable bowling lineup in Mohammed Shami, Yash Dayal, Lockie Ferguson, and Rashid Khan.
