Toss Prediction
There is a toss bias at this ground. Six of the last eight IPL matches at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium have been won by the side batting second. And since the wicket generally tends to behave consistently throughout the course of a game, the team that wins the toss in this match might prefer to field first. Sunrisers Hyderabad have won their last three matches here while chasing which is why we suggest betting on them if they happen to bat second on Sunday.

SRH Team News & Playing 11
Team News
There are no injury concerns for the team ahead of their clash with Gujarat Lions. They had a good win in their opening game and so the skipper and selectors will not be too keen on making changes to their lineup.
Key Players
Sunrisers Hyderabad have a solid top-order batting lineup with David Warner being the key man. He made an unbeaten 74 and an unbeaten 93 in two out of the three games against Gujarat Lions last season. Yuvraj Singh played a blazing knock of 62 runs from 27 balls the other night and he will be dangerous in the slog overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is SRH's most successful bowler against GL. The seamer has taken 8 wickets against them so far and he is likely to trouble them again with his swing.
Recent Form
Victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the season's opening game was their fourth consecutive win in the Indian Premier League. Sunrisers Hyderabad have now played 8 matches at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium since last year of which they have won 5 and lost 3 which is a pretty decent record for a home ground.
Sunrisers Predicted Playing 11

GL Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Gujarat Lions will miss the services of in-form bowler Ravindra Jadeja and West Indian allrounder Dwayne Bravo for this upcoming fixture. While Jadeja is recovering from finger injury and is expected to be fully fit for the team's third game, Bravo who is suffering from hamstring injury is out for the first half of the tournament.
Key Players
Gujarat Lions have a star-studded batting lineup with plenty of depth. Suresh Raina and Dinesh Karthik shone with the bat against Kolkata Knight Riders. The latter seemed to be more in control and so there will be high expectations from him going into this match. The Lions had a horrible day with the ball as their bowlers allowed KKR to run away with the game. However, old horse Praveen Kumar was impressive and he was the only bowler in the side to have an economy rate of under 10. The pacer will be the key bowler for his team on Sunday.
Recent Form
Gujarat Lions had made a fantastic debut in the IPL 2016 where they topped the points table with 9 wins from 14 matches at the end of the league stage. However, they lost both their matches in the playoffs round and so they will be coming into this game off the back of two consecutive defeats.
Gujarat Lions Predicted Playing 11
-
JJ Roy, BB McCullum, SK Raina (c), AJ Finch, KD Karthik (wk), DR Smith, MS Gony, P Kumar, SB Jakati, DS Kulkarni, S Kaushik.

Srh vs Gl Head to Head
Gujarat Lions have never beaten Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League. The two teams played three matches against each other in the previous season and the latter emerged victorious in each of them. One of those matches was played at this ground.
Srh vs Gl Prediction
Gujarat Lions will be without Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo - two players who made a major contribution in the team's success last season. And finding replacements for players with such calibre is not going to be easy for them.
Sunrisers Hyderabad on the other hand will grow in confidence after their comfortable win in the season opener. Their top-order batting is looking in fine form and so are most of their bowlers. Playing at their home ground where they have won three of their last four games, having won four IPL games in a row and holding a 100% win record against the Lions are a few other reasons why they will be having an upper hand in this Sunday's mega clash. Though Gujarat Lions don't deserve to be written off completely, we predict Sunrisers Hyderabad to win this face-off.
Final Verdict: Back Sunrisers Hyderabad to beat Gujarat Lions in the 6th match of IPL 2017.
