Pitch Report
Analysis
Sunrisers Hyderabad have built a lethal unit powered by an ultra-aggressive batting lineup which comprises Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram and Henrich Klassen. But over the last few games, the top-order has flattered but at home, this top four could be unstoppable. Talking about their bowling, SRH have struggled massively as no bowler, barring Pat Cummins and T Natarajan, has looked in form.
On the other hand, the Rajasthan Royals have built one of the best teams in IPL history with quality players across each department. The RR batting has seemed formidable with nearly all of their batters being in incredible form. Similarly, their bowling led by IPL greats like Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult have performed in nearly every game and helped Rajasthan remain at the top of the table with eight wins from nine games.
