THE LOWDOWN
SUNRISERS HYDERABAD
- No team sums up the precarious nature of the IPL on the field quite like Sunrisers Hyderabad, who after winning four on the spin, have since succumbed to two damaging defeats, leaving their play-off hopes firmly in the balance with five fixtures to play.
- We often see big-hitting teams come unstuck in Chepauk and that’s exactly what happened to SRH last weekend, bowled out for just 134 chasing 213 and such a crushing loss won’t have done their net-run-rate any favours.
RAJASTHAN ROYALS
- Rajasthan Royals are now in a prime position to finish top of the league come the end of the regular season, having built a significant gap between themselves and the chasing pack with 16 points to their name as it stands.
- The Royals matched their four-match winning streak accrued earlier in the campaign by getting the better of Lucknow Super Giants by seven wickets, reaching their victory target of 197 with exactly one over to spare.
THE PREDICTION
Sunrisers Hyderabad will hope that being at home helps their batters pile up a high score, but winning the toss is likely to be important with the hosts surely wanting to set a target rather than chase one. Rajasthan Royals though, have all bases covered and are a team capable of competing strongly in all departments and in all conditions. Comfortably the best team in the league this year, their levels don’t show any signs of dropping just yet, so back them to add SRH to the list of teams they’ve beaten in 2024.
TIP: RAJASTHAN ROYALS TO WIN
