In the 12th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Gujarat Titans (GT) clashed with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The contest saw superior display of all-round cricket from the home side as they ended up claiming a comfortable win by 7 wickets.
Mohit Sharma sizzles with the ball
Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and elected to bat first. Sunrisers Hyderabad started steadily but couldn’t capitalize on the platform, managing to score 162 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in their allotted 20 overs. Abhishek Sharma played a notable knock, scoring 29 runs off 20 balls, supported by Abdul Samad who scored 29 runs off 14 deliveries.

Sai Sudharsan, David Miller take GT over the finish line

Sai Sudharsan and David Miller played a pivotal innings, scoring 45 and 44 runs, well supported by Wriddhiman Saha (25) and Shubman Gill (36), who chipped in with valuable runs.
