Will the 2024 Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) show up in the 19th match of IPL 2025? SRH, considered tournament favourites by many, have been very poor since smashing 286 in their first game against the Royals. Not only have they lost three in a row, but they have been smashed in each of them.

Their last outing was a humbling 80-run loss against the Kolkata Knight Riders. SRH came in for criticism regarding their all-or-nothing batting approach and questionable tactics. They now return home and we can expect them to go hard again, but will they be more selective?

Pat Cummins’ team run into the in-form Gujarat Titans (GT). GT have won two straight, beating Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru comfortably by 36 runs and eight wickets respectively.

GT’s death bowling remains a question mark, but they have bowlers who can deliver in the powerplay. SRH have lost a chunk of wickets in the first six overs in recent matches, so if Mohammed Siraj and co. can do the same, it will go a long way to sealing a victory.

In this article, we will look at the possible playing XIIs, Hyderabad pitch report, fantasy cricket tips and Dream11 Prediction for the 19th match of IPL 2025.

IPL 2025 19th Match: SRH vs GT Possible Playing XIIs

SRH have questions over their team balance. They have the option of playing Kamindu Mendis, but will they give him more of a bowl?

Sunrisers Hyderabad: 1. Travis Head (OS), 2. Abhishek Sharma, 3. Ishan Kishan, 4. Nitish Kumar Reddy, 5. Heinrich Klaasen (OS, wk), 6. Aniket Verma, 7. Kamindu Mendis (OS), 8. Pat Cummins (OS, c), 9. Mohammed Shami, 10. Harshal Patel, 11. Zeeshan Ansari, 12. Simarjeet Singh

GT look settled and should stick with the same combination barring injury.

Gujarat Titans: 1. Sai Sudharsan, 2. Shubman Gill (c), 3. Jos Buttler (OS, wk), 4. Sherfane Rutherford (OS), 5. Shahrukh Khan, 6. Rahul Tewatia, 7. Rashid Khan (OS), 8. Arshad Khan, 9. Sai Kishore, 10. Mohammed Siraj, 11. Prasidh Krishna, 12. Ishant Sharma

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Hyderabad Pitch Report and Weather

Expect another batting paradise in Hyderabad. 286 and 190 have been the scores batting first so far this season. Lucknow Super Giants chased SRH’s 190 with ease.

SRH have issues chasing 200+, so do they look to bat first? If GT win the toss, they will likely bowl. A hot and clear night is forecast, and dew is a possibility.

Fantasy Cricket Tips for SRH vs GT: Top Picks/Key Players to Watch

Top wicket-keeper picks:

• Jos Buttler roared back to his best against RCB (73* off 39 balls). Against SRH, Buttler has scored 381 runs at an average of 29.31 and strike rate of 151.79.
• Rashid Khan has been struggling and Heinrich Klaasen can pounce. The SRH keeper-batsman has struck 95 off 52 against Rashid in T20s (three dismissals).

Key batter picks:

• Since the start of 2024, Sai Sudharsan has scored 713 runs in the IPL at an average of 50.9 and strike rate of 145.2.
• Shubman Gill has a century for GT against SRH. The GT captain has looked good this season (33, 38, 14) without going on to make a big score yet.
• Travis Head has struck 67 and 47 at Hyderabad this season. Since the start of last season, Head has smashed 767 IPL runs at a strike rate of 191.6.

Top all-rounder picks:

• It feels like the IPL is waiting for Abhishek Sharma to get going. Abhishek remains the top Dream11 pick for all-rounders in this match given his potential as opener.
• In four matches against GT, Abhishek has scored 141 runs at an average of 35.25 and strike rate of 142.42.

Key bowler picks:

• Mohammed Siraj is a powerplay specialist at his best. SRH have lost a total of ten wickets in this period this season.
• The underrated Sai Kishore continues to impress. His change-ups and variations can bring wicket-taking opportunities as SRH look to take him on.

Other Players to Consider for your Fantasy Cricket Teams

• Mohammed Shami is still searching for his best form. He can be worth a pick in Dream11 because of what he can do in the powerplay. He has dismissed Shubman Gill twice in 36 balls (41 runs) and Jos Buttler twice in 62 balls (79 runs) in the IPL.
• Rashid Khan is not having the same impact he usually does. However, he returns to a ground he knows so well (28 wickets in 21 matches at a strike rate of 18).
• Ishan Kishan has missed out three times in a row since his century on this ground in the opening game. He has scored 74 off 49 against Siraj in the IPL (two dismissals).
