SRH vs RR Match Prediction & Analysis
It is the 2nd game of the Indian Premier League. The Sunrisers Hyderabad will begin their campaign as they take on the Rajasthan Royals. The Sunrisers enjoyed a good season last year but lost in the final against KKR. They play at home and shall look to leverage this advantage. The Rajasthan Royals lost in the 2nd Qualifier against the Sunrisers and shall aim to avenge that loss in this game.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad have an excellent record at this venue. Last season, they lost once at this venue and aim to build on this good record. They have defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last three games and shall take inspiration from those wins. The Rajasthan Royals lack teeth in the bowling attack, and it will be interesting to see if their batting lineup can compensate for it.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview
Pat Cummins and his men will be confident. They have a strong batting lineup and a quality attack for this season. The side dominated opponents at their home ground last season, and the players will draw inspiration from those wins. Cummins will look to lead from the front with the ball and make a solid start this season.
The side has an electrifying opening pair in Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. They will look to deliver a confident start. Ishan Kishan must anchor the innings in the middle order and build partnerships with Nitish Reddy and Sachin Baby. Heinrich Klaasen is one of the best finishers in the world, and he will look to do the big-hitting in the lower middle order with Wiaan Mulder and Abhinav Manohar.
Rajasthan Royals Preview
Sanju Samson is nursing a wound and won’t be available as the skipper for the first few games. Riyan Parag will take over the team’s captaincy and have a big challenge. The team has struggled against the Sunrisers in the last two seasons, coming here with three consecutive losses. It will be interesting to see if Parag can fill the void and guide his team to a winning start.
Sanju Samson will play as a batter and must deliver a good start in this game along with Yashasvi Jaiswal. The team has a strong middle order and expects partnerships between Riyan Parag, Nitish Rana, and Dhruv Jurel. Shimron Hetmyer is a good finisher, and he will look to add quick runs with Wanindu Hasaranga and Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack will face a massive challenge as the Sunrisers Hyderabad have a strong batting lineup. Jofra Archer is the key bowler on the team, and he must strike early along with Sandeep Sharma. Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana must deliver good spells in the middle overs and keep the scoring under check. The team will also expect Riyan Parag and Tushar Deshpande to do well in the supporting roles.
Weather Conditions
We expect slightly overcast skies over Hyderabad. The batting surface will be good, and batsmen can play their strokes freely. We saw 200+ scores for the team batting first four times last season. The side batting first would like to have more than 200 runs on the board in this game.
SRH vs RR Pitch Report
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, has excellent batting conditions. Batsmen have done, and they can hit through the line. There isn’t much on this track for the fast bowlers, and they must bend their backs to do well. Spinners have enjoyed the conditions and have been successful here.
Toss: To Bat
We have seen excellent batting surfaces at this venue. The wicket is flat at the start of the game, and batters can score runs freely. Bowlers have done well in the second innings when the ball starts turning, so the side winning the toss won’t hesitate to bat first.
