GRT vs HPH Match Prediction & Analysis
The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025 continues to serve as a crucial platform for domestic cricketers aiming to impress ahead of the IPL auction, scheduled for December 16, 2025, at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Gujarat will face Himachal Pradesh at the Gymkhana Ground, Hyderabad, on 6th December from 11:00 AM onwards. Gujarat has won three of their five matches so far and currently sits in fourth place with 12 points, keeping themselves well within the qualification race. In contrast, Himachal Pradesh have struggled to find momentum, managing just one win from their five games, which places them near the bottom of the Group standings.
Gujarat suffered a heavy defeat in their previous match against Baroda. Batting first, they were bundled out for just 73, with Arya Desai (22) and Hemang Patel (13) being the only batters to reach double digits. Baroda made light work of the chase, reaching the target in 7 overs with 8 wickets in hand. Ravi Bishnoi was the standout performer with the ball, picking up two wickets.
Himachal Pradesh endured their third consecutive loss—and fourth overall—in their previous match. Batting first, they posted 176/8, with Ekant Sen (44) and Pukhraj Mann (43) delivering notable contributions. However, their bowlers struggled to contain Haryana’s aggressive batting lineup, as HP went down by 7 wickets. Akash Vasisht, Vipin Sharma, and Vaibhav Arora managed to pick up a wicket each, but it wasn’t enough to turn the tide.
Back in 2021, both teams faced each other in Vadodara, where Himachal Pradesh posted 141/5 after electing to bat first. In response, Gujarat were dismantled for 115, falling short by 26 runs. Vaibhav Arora was the standout performer of the match, delivering an excellent spell of 3 for 16, which proved decisive in HP’s victory.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Gujarat Preview
After remaining unbeaten in six consecutive games last season, Gujarat find themselves in slightly troubled territory this year, having already lost two of their five matches. Aarya Desai is set to open the innings alongside wicketkeeper-batter Urvil Patel. Desai has been in excellent touch, scoring 336 runs in his last 10 T20 matches at a strike rate of 142.97. Urvil Patel, meanwhile, has been in sensational form. He has smashed 443 runs in his last 9 T20s at a staggering strike rate of 248.87. Gujarat’s leading run-scorer in the previous edition, Patel has continued in the same vein this season with 156 runs, including a brilliant century in the opening match. He remains Gujarat’s key batter and the one to watch out for.
Saurav Chauhan will anchor the middle order alongside Umang Kumar, Hemang Patel, and Vishal Jayswal. Chauhan has been one of the few bright spots in this phase of the tournament, scoring 101 runs in four innings at a strike rate of 118.82 and boasting the best average (50.50) among Gujarat’s batters. However, the rest of the middle order has struggled to provide stability or momentum. Umang Kumar has managed just 28 runs, Hemang Patel has contributed 25, and Vishal Jayswal has scored 64 runs in five games. Their inconsistent performances have been a key factor in Gujarat’s fluctuating results this season.
Ravi Bishnoi will spearhead the Gujarat bowling attack, supported by Arzan Nagwaswalla and Hemang Patel. Bishnoi has been outstanding this season, emerging as the team’s leading wicket-taker with 8 wickets, and remains the bowler to watch. Nagwaswalla and Patel have also been impactful, picking up 7 wickets each, both operating at a steady economy rate of 7.5. Additionally, Harshal Patel adds valuable experience to the lineup. His IPL pedigree brings depth and control to the attack, and he has already taken 6 wickets in 3 games, further strengthening Gujarat’s bowling.
Key Players: Urvil Patel, Aarya Desai, Ravi Bishnoi.
Gujarat Predicted Playing XI:
Aarya Desai, Urvil Patel(w/c), Saurav Chauhan, Ripal Patel, Hemang Patel, Vishal Jayswal, Ravi Bishnoi, Arzan Nagwaswalla, Umang Kumar, Japagnya Bhatt, Dhrushant Soni.

Himachal Pradesh Preview
Himachal Pradesh have struggled this season, managing just one win in five matches, all while defending targets. Innesh Mahajan will open the innings alongside R.I. Thakur. Mahajan has been reasonably consistent, scoring 126 runs in five games at a strike rate of 126.19. Thakur, who made his first appearance of the season in the previous match, contributed 13 runs. Ekant Sen is expected to come in at number three and remains Himachal’s most reliable batter. He is their leading run-scorer with 219 runs at an impressive strike rate of 152.08. With a solid 44-run knock in the last game, he will once again be the key batter to watch out for.
Pukhraj Mann will strengthen the middle order alongside Akash Vasisht and Mridul Surroch. Mann played a blistering knock of 43 off 21 balls in the previous match and has been one of Himachal’s most explosive performers this season. He has accumulated 169 runs in five games at a superb strike rate of 164.07, the highest among their batters, and has struck 12 sixes so far. Akash Vasisht has had limited opportunities, scoring 21 runs in two games, while Mridul Surroch provides much-needed stability in the middle order. Surroch has contributed 113 runs at an impressive strike rate of 160, ensuring balance between aggression and consistency.
Vaibhav Arora will spearhead the Himachal Pradesh bowling attack, supported by Mridul Surroch. Arora has been the standout performer with the ball, claiming 7 wickets so far and emerging as the team’s leading wicket-taker. He remains the bowler to watch out for in this lineup. However, beyond Arora, no other bowler has made a significant impact this season. This has been a major concern for Himachal Pradesh, as their bowling unit has managed to pick up only 45% of the possible wickets across matches—one of the key reasons behind their four defeats in the tournament.
Key Players: Ekant Sen, Pukhraj Mann, Vaibhav Arora.
Himachal Pradesh Predicted Playing XI:
Innesh Mahajan, Ankush Bains(w/c), Ekant Sen, Pukhraj Mann, Mridul Surroch, Akash Vasisht, Mayank Dagar, RI Thakur, Vaibhav Arora, Vipin Sharma, Aryaman Singh.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The weather in Hyderabad is expected to be cloudy on match day, with temperatures ranging from 18 to 28 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 6-10 km/h. It is a balanced pitch. The stadium traditionally offers favourable conditions for batsmen. Its dry surface, combined with relatively short boundaries, makes it easier for batters to clear the ropes, contributing to high-scoring contests. Length balls can travel the distance quickly, putting bowlers under pressure from the start. As the match progresses, spinners do come into play with some turn and assistance on offer, but overall, it remains a venue where stroke-making and aggressive batting thrive.
