Probable Playing XI plus impact player for Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals
SRH have been facing issues in the middle order and in their bowling department. In the game against Punjab Kings (PBKS), they got off to a flying start but couldn't convert it into a daunting total. In the absence of Pat Cummins, their pace attack has looked unimpressive. They may drop Eshan Malinga and include Brydon Carse in the side. They have also replace Aniket Verma or Salil Arora with Kamindu Mendis.
SRH Playing XII: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan(w/c), Heinrich Klaasen, Salil Arora, Aniket Verma/Kamindu Mendis, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harsh Dubey, Shivang Kumar, Harshal Patel, Brydon Carse, Praful Hinge.
RR are currently unbeaten in the tournament and have enough firepower in their top order with all three batters firing. However, middle-order has not been at its best with Shimron Hetmyer misfiring. While Hetmyer hasn’t found, he may retain his place. But, if Riyan Parag decides to make a change, they have the services of Dasun Shanaka.
RR Playing XII: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel(w), Riyan Parag (c), Shimron Hetmyer/Dasun Shanaka, Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Sandeep Sharma, Ravi Bishnoi, Brijesh Sharma/ Tushar Deshpande
SRH vs RR Head-to-Head Record in IPL History
SRH have had the upper hand over RR, beating them in 12 games out of 19. In the previous season, SRH posted the highest total in league's history. Kishan scored a century on his SRH debut taking the team to 286/6. RR still have three of those bowlers in the lineup. However, RR didn't have Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's services at the top of the order.
Hyderabad Pitch Report and Weather Forecast for Today’s Match
The Hyderabad pitch has worked in the favour of batters. The flat deck is unlikely to offer much assistance to the bowlers. Rain is unlikely to play spoilsport. However, the humidity will be high at the venue.
