Gujarat Titans delivered a bowling masterclass to dismantle Sunrisers Hyderabad by 82 runs in IPL 2026 Match 56 at Ahmedabad on May 12, 2026. Defending a competitive 168, the GT pace battery led by Kagiso Rabada blew away the SRH top order, eventually bowling them out for a meager 86 in under 15 overs.
Kagiso Rabada (3/28) and Jason Holder (3/20) were clinical, while Sai Sudharsan (61 off 44) and Washington Sundar (50 off 33) provided the backbone for GT’s total. For SRH, it was a day to forget as their explosive batting lineup collapsed under the relentless pressure of the GT attack.

GT Innings: 168/5 in 20 Overs
Gujarat Titans struggled early as Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler fell within the powerplay to the disciplined Praful Hinge. However, Sai Sudharsan anchored the innings with a mature 61, finding a steady partner in Washington Sundar.
Sundar shifted gears in the final overs, reaching his half-century in 32 balls to propel GT to 168. Pat Cummins was the pick of the SRH bowlers, maintaining an incredible economy of 5.00, but the secondary bowlers struggled to contain the late-innings surge from the GT middle order.

SRH Chase: 86 All Out in 14.5 Overs
The chase was dead on arrival. Mohammed Siraj dismissed Travis Head for a 4-ball duck in the first over, and Kagiso Rabada followed up by removing Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan shortly after. SRH were 32/4 by the end of the powerplay.
The collapse didn’t stop there. Jason Holder utilized the extra bounce to remove Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy in quick succession. Despite a few defiant swings from Pat Cummins (19 off 9), the SRH tail folded rapidly. Rashid Khan finished the game by cleaning up the final wicket, leaving SRH 82 runs short of the target.
