Sunrisers Hyderabad
After failing to chase 126 against Punjab Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad became the first team to be knocked out of the tournament. With just 1 win in 9 games, they are placed in the last position in the points table. However, they will be looking to play as a party spoiler for the other teams.
Predicted Playing XI
David Warner, Kane Williamson (C), Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, Jason Holder, Abdul
Samad, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, Sandeep Sharma
Bench Strength
Jason Roy, Priyam Garg, Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma, Virat Singh, Mohammad Nabi, Shahbaz Nadeem, Siddarth Kaul, Basil Thampi, Jagadeesha Suchith, Mujeeb-ur-Rahman, Sreevats Goswami, T Natrajan, Umran Malik
Players to watch out
Jason Holder showed his all-round performance in the last game and almost won it for the team. However, he will be keen to prove himself again. Along with him, Rashid Khan and David Warner can be destructive for the opponents. Besides them, slower balls and cutters from Sandeep Sharma can be effective for Hyderabad.
Rajasthan Royals
Currently placed at the seventh position in the points table, Rajasthan Royals are on the verge of having another disappointing season. However, they still have a chance if they manage to win at least 4 games out of the remaining 5. However, their negative Net Run Rate can be an issue for them.
Predicted Playing XI
Sanju Samson (C and WK), Yashaswi Jaswal, Liam Livingstone, Evin Lewis,
Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris, Mustafizur Rahman, Kartik Tyagi, Chetan Sakariya, Mahipal Lomror
Bench Strength
Shreyas Gopal, Mayank Markande, Anuj Rawat, Manan Vohra, Shivam Dube, K.C. Cariappa, Kuldip Yadav, Akash Singh, Glenn Phillips, Oshane Thomas, Tabraiz Shamsi, David Miller
Players to watch out
Powerhouse Liam Livingstone can be destructive for the team along with Sanju Samson. Their young bowlers like Kartik Tyagi and Chetan Sakariya can prove to be a vital asset for the team against the fragile Sunrisers Hyderabad middle order.
Final Prediction
A match that always promises fun and excitement to the fans is back once again. However, both the teams are placed at the last position but they will love to fight till the end. Jason Holder showed a lot of intent in the last match and it looks like he will be the standout performer for them. So we predict that Sunrisers Hyderabad will beat Rajasthan Royals to gain some momentum during the end phase of the tournament.
