What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
While the Royals are currently on the top of the IPL 2024 points table with 16 points from nine games, Hyderabad have also played those many games for 10 points.
Quick SRH vs RR Preview
While the Sunrisers have run their opposition amok with their amazing batting capabilities, that has been restricted to them batting first.
When chasing, Hyderabad have had their issues and that has been on display in the previous two games.
Against a struggling RCB, Hyderabad failed to chase down 206 on a flat pitch at home. And they then went to Chepauk and conceded 212 to the Super Kings before crashing to a 78-run loss.
Two matches in a row, therefore, their much-vaunted line-up has struggled to score any in chases and that might have an effect even when batting first.
And that against a solid line-up like Rajasthan Royals who have been quite steady with their bowling.
Rajasthan’s bowling has been rock-solid, having conceded over 200 just once in the tournament so far but more vitally their batting has been even better.
The one time they did go for 223 was against Kolkata but Jos Buttler spanked a 56-ball 109 to help them romp home to a win.
In their last game, Rajasthan went for 196 to Lucknow Super Giants but were never in strife as they carved out the needed total for the loss of three wickets as Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel hit fifties.
This could turn out to be a very keen tussle in the offing.
