How do the teams stack up?
RR Today Match Prediction
Bringing Jofra Archer into the playing eleven has been a delight for the Rajasthan Royals. His 3 wickets in the last match against Mumbai were vital for RR for they came at the right moments. RR’s batting has been hot and cold so far; and, they need to work on it to enter the playoffs. Sanju Samson and Ben Stokes’ batting form is expected to continue, while Ajinkya Rahane should pull his socks up. RR’s squad against SRH is likely to remain the same.
Probable Playing 11:
Ajinkya Rahane (C), Rahul Tripathi, Sanju Samson, Ben Stokes, Heinrich Klaasen, Jos Buttler (WK), Krishnappa Gowtham, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Dhawal Kulkarni, Jaydev Unadkat
Players to watch out for: Jofra Archer, Sanju Samson
SRH Today Match Prediction
Despite two back-to- back victories, the Sunrisers have a lot to improve in their batting. Shikhar Dhawan has not performed exceedingly well after his injury. It is high time Wriddhiman Saha learns to shoulder his responsibility and the same goes with Mohammad Nabi. Yusuf Pathan in the middle order brings comfort to SRH’s batting. Alex Hales could be expected to join SRH’s playing squad for their match against Rajasthan. Sunrisers’ bowling unit is high on confidence with fresh yet star players like Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma and Basil Thampi.
Probable Playing 11:
Shikhar Dhawan, Alex Hales, Kane Williamson (C), Manish Pandey, Shakib Al Hasan, Yusuf Pathan, Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Rashid Khan, Siddharth Kaul, Basil Thampi, Sandeep Sharma
Players to watch out for: Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma.
