IPL 2023 | RR vs SRH | 52nd Match, 7th May, 7:30 PM | Match Preview

Series: Indian Premier League 2023

Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 52nd Match 7th May 7.30 PM IST

Venue: Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur

The Indian Premier League 2023 has entered its most crucial stage. The Rajasthan Royals will be eying a win to get their campaign back on track in the 52nd game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The Royals lost against the Gujarat Titans and have struggled in the last two games. The Sunrisers also come here with a loss against the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last game.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad have been in poor form. The side has won just three games so far in nine outings. Their record against the Rajasthan Royals has been poor in recent years,
and they lost to the Royals earlier in the season. Given the stakes involved in this game from the Rajasthan Royals, we expect a close contest.

Rajasthan Royals Preview
It has been back-to-back losses for Sanju Samson’s side. Their famed batting line-up failed again as the side went down by 9 wickets against the Gujarat Titans. With this loss, the side has dropped to the fourth position
on the points table. As they play in their home ground, Sampson would like to win this game and get his side’s campaign back on track.
Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal have seen a dip in their form in the last few games, and the pair will look to strike form in this crucial game. The middle order is strong, and the side will need runs from Sampson,
Devdutt Padikkal, and Riyan Parag in the middle order. Shimron Hetmyer has had a good season, and he must add runs with Ravichandran Ashwin and Dhruv Jurel down the order.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview
Aiden Markram’s side lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last game by 5 runs. This loss has nearly sealed their fate in the tournament. With six points, the chances for the side qualifying for the playoffs are remote.
Key players have been inconsistent, and it won’t be easy for the side in this game. The Sunrisers’ skipper would like to see his players play their natural game.
The top order must show consistency, and they will need runs from Mayank Agarwal and Abhishek Sharma at the top. Rahul Tripathi has done well and has an important role in the middle order with Markram and Harry Brook,
who has been a one-knock wonder this season. Heinrich Klaasen, Marcon Jansen, and Abdul Samad must add quick runs down the order.

Pitch Report
Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, is a batsman’s paradise. The wicket has true bounce and pace, allowing batters to hit through the line. The spinners enjoy bowling on this surface as the ball bounces and turns sharply.
There isn’t much assistance for the fast bowlers unless conditions are perfect.

key players RR : Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult
