Match Preview:
The Sunrisers Hyderabad will host the Rajasthan Royals in a thrilling IPL 2024 clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Both these have been among the best this season and hence fans can expect an incredible fixture. Ahead of this clash, SRH suffered a massive defeat against the Chennai Super Kings while RR comfortably registered a win against the Lucknow Super Giants.
Pitch Report:
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad has produced batting-friendly tracks where batters dominated. The average score of the venue is 216 this season with the pitch remaining fairly the same. The batters have been able to maximise the short dimensions of the ground to score a mountain of runs. Whereas the bowling has struggled to contain runs and pick up wickets. But as the track slightly slows down bowlers have attempted variation to create an impact.
Team Analysis:
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad have heavily depended on their batting lineup with Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram and Henrich Klassen, who have scored runs at an incredible rate. But over the last few games, the top-order hasn’t fired but at home, this top-four could be the game-changer. Talking about their bowling, SRH have struggled massively as no bowler, barring Pat Cummins and T Natarajan, has looked in form.
