Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen played a fiery knock of 41 runs and 36 runs respectively for Sunrisers Hyderabad in that game. These two teams have played have played 17 games against each other in the history of IPL so far where Rajasthan Royals won 9 matches while Sunrisers Hyderabad managed to win 8 matches.
Rajasthan Royals (RR)
Trent Boult has constantly taken wickets in the powerplay overs but even Sandeep Sharma will be vital against SRH as he matches up well against their opener Mayank Agarwal. Mayank was also dismissed by Yuzvendra Chahal six times. RR desperately turned to Riyan Parag in the previous games as the impact substitute as their batting innings fell apart after Sanju Samson decided to set a target. They will have to rethink the strategy even if they end up in a similar situation again as Riyan Parag has struggled all season to score runs.
Probable XI: Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Adam Zampa, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma
Sunrisers Hyderabad (RR)
SRH will hope Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s experience will help him to get the better of Jos Buttler in the powerplay overs. Bhuvneshwar has conceded 45 runs at a run-a-ball to the England batter in the IPL without getting him out. In all T20s, he conceded just 88 off 82 and dismissed him five times. Either Rahul Tripathi or T Natarajan is likely to be the impact substitute based on what happens at the toss.
Probable XI: Abhishek Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Harry Brook, Heinrich Klaasen, Abdul Samad, Marco Jansen/Akeal Hossein, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, Kartik Tyagi
