GT vs SRH LIVE: Pitch report

“It’s a warm afternoon here in Ahmedabad. Dimensions – if I am looking to cut/punch through the metres – 66 metres, dab towards third man – that’s 58 metres, pull/hook – 63 metres, scoop – 53 metres and down the ground – that’s 73 metres. On the surface, this looks a very good pitch. Looks like a batting beauty. It’s an absolute road, it looks like a tremendous wicket. There’s quite a nice breeze flowing across the ground, so that might help the players tremendously. It’s going to reach 38 or 40 degrees here. In the day games played here, teams batting first have scored 200, once it was defended and on another occasion it wasn’t. We’ve got Sunrisers Hyderabad up here. Sunrisers are gonna come here and they are gonna look at this wicket and they are going to think, ‘maybe we can get 270 again.’ There’s an even covering of grass, it’s a beautiful, beautiful wicket. In spite of this being a big stadium, plenty of runs here. You can chase down a big score. One thing the groundsman said, it’s black soil, moisture doesn’t stay too long, it’s a good surface to bat.”

Titans, the IPL 2022 winner and the current runners-up, are now placed seventh on the table with two points from as many matches after a win over Mumbai Indians and defeat against Chennai Super Kings.
