MATCH PREVIEW     

The points table is taking shape in the Indian Premier League 2024. The Sunrisers Hyderabad will host the Rajasthan Royals in the 50th match, look to win, and keep hopes alive for a berth in the playoffs. The odds have changed for Sunrisers constantly with their inconsistency. They went down against the Chennai Super Kings in the last game. They must play out of their skins to win this game. The Rajasthan Royals defeated the Lucknow Super Giants in the last game and have extended their lead on the points table. Both teams have powerful hitters, and we expect a run feast on a flat track.  

Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview     

Pat Cummins' side faces its toughest challenge in this game. They have failed to show consistency, with five wins in nine games. In the last game, the side went down by 78 runs against the Chennai Super Kings. They must come out of this defeat and do well with the ball to win this game and keep their hopes alive for a berth in the playoffs. A win here will improve the side's position on cricket betting sites.  

The side will expect an electrifying start from Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, as both players are in good form. The middle order has won games for the team, and Aiden Markram, Nitish Reddy, and Anmolpreet Singh will look to continue with the good form. The lower middle order has been the biggest strength for the team, and they will expect runs from Heinrich Klaasen and Abdul Samad.  

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Nitish Reddy have leaked runs in most games, and the side needs a tight spell from them in this important game. T Natarajan has won games for the team, and he must do well in the middle overs with Pat Cummins. Jaydev Unadkat and Shahbaz Ahmed must check the flow of runs, as the Rajasthan Royals have a very strong batting lineup.  

Expected Starting XI for Sunrisers Hyderabad     

Pat Cummins (c), Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Aiden Markram, Nitish Reddy, Shahbaz Ahmed, Abdul Samad, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Jaydev Unadkat, Anmolpreet Singh (Impact Player)  

Rajasthan Royals Preview     

Sanju Samson couldn't have asked for a better show from his team. At the start of the tournament, they weren't favorites on most cricket betting apps, but the team has improved its position with consistent performances. They have won eight out of nine games and registered a 7-wicket win in the last game against the Lucknow Super Giants. Samson would eye a berth in the playoffs by winning this game.  

The side will expect a strong start from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler, as both players have done well in the season. The Royals draw their strength from the middle order, and the trio of Riyan Parag, Sanju Samson, and Dhruv Jurel make runs. Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell are powerful hitters and look to add runs with Ravichandran Ashwin.  

The bowling attack will be under pressure after a string of poor performances. Early wickets from Trent Boult and Sandeep Sharma will be key as the Sunrisers' batters have destroyed bowling attacks. Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal are the backbone of this attack and must do well. The side will also expect a good show in the supporting role from Riyan Parag and Avesh Khan.  

Expected Starting XI for Rajasthan Royals     

Sanju Samson (c & wk), Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rovman Powell, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Dhruv Jurel, Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal, Riyan Parag (Impact Player)  

TOSS: To Bowl First      

We have seen high-scoring games at this venue, and both teams have good hitters on the side. They would fancy their chances even in chasing a big total. Hence, the side winning the toss won't hesitate to bowl first and aim at restricting the opposition to a small total.       

 
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

We will see an extremely hot evening in Hyderabad. The wicket will be flat and dry, and bowlers will have a tough time on this wicket. Batsmen can play their strokes freely as the ball will come to the bat nicely. This season has seen big scores, and the side batting first will need more than 200 runs on the board to feel safe.  

OUR PREDICTION      

The Sunrisers Hyderabad have struggled with their consistency. Their bowlers have been in dismal form, and the side will need a disciplined show from the bowlers to create a chance for themselves in this game. The Rajasthan Royals have played with surgical precision. Their top order has batted well, and the bowling attack has stood up when needed. Based on the current form, the Rajasthan Royals start favorites.  

Our prediction is for Rajasthan Royals to win.
