What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
Both these teams, SRH and RR made the playoffs with 17 points to their name but finished second and third respectively on the IPL 2024 points table. As a result, while SRH had a chance to overcome KKR to enter the final – but lost – RR are coming off a knock-out situation with RCB – which they won.
Quick SRH vs RR Preview
Sunrisers Hyderabad will be slightly miffed with the way they went about their business in the Qualifier against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Their strength has been their batting and they have been known to plunder heavy scores throughout the tournament. And yet, come crunch time against Kolkata Knight Riders, Hyderabad’s decision to bat first, backfired horribly.
They lost Travis Head for a duck and from there on, kept losing wickets at regular intervals to fall apart completely. A score of 159 was never going to challenge KKR who chased it down in a mere 13.4 overs to clinch the win!
That, combined with how SRH have chased in the tournament, could put a lot of pressure on them against a bowling side which has managed a decent outing all competition.
Rajasthan Royals were clinical with the ball against RCB, restricting them to 172 and while they did lose wickets at crucial intervals in their chase, achieved the win with an over to spare.
What will gladden the Royals’ hearts is that despite the absence of Jos Buttler, their batting combined well together, led by Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 45 and Riyan Parag’s 36.
With R Ashwin bagging 2/19 from his four and winning the man-of-the-match, it just shows how RR have enough bowlers in their line-up to test the opposition.
Can they do that to the mighty Hyderabad batters though?
