It is the 2nd game of the Indian Premier League. The Sunrisers Hyderabad will begin their campaign as they take on the Rajasthan Royals. The Sunrisers enjoyed a good season last year but lost in the final against KKR. They play at home and shall look to leverage this advantage. The Rajasthan Royals lost in the 2nd Qualifier against the Sunrisers and shall aim to avenge that loss in this game.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad have an excellent record at this venue. Last season, they lost once at this venue and aim to build on this good record. They have defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last three games and shall take inspiration from those wins. The Rajasthan Royals lack teeth in the bowling attack, and it will be interesting to see if their batting lineup can compensate for it.

Pat Cummins and his men will be confident. They have a strong batting lineup and a quality attack for this season. The side dominated opponents at their home ground last season, and the players will draw inspiration from those wins. Cummins will look to lead from the front with the ball and make a solid start this season.
The side has an electrifying opening pair in Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. They will look to deliver a confident start. Ishan Kishan must anchor the innings in the middle order and build partnerships with Nitish Reddy and Sachin Baby. Heinrich Klaasen is one of the best finishers in the world, and he will look to do the big-hitting in the lower middle order with Wiaan Mulder and Abhinav Manohar.
Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins bring much experience to the table, and they will aim for early breakthroughs. Harshal Patel and Rahul Chahar will bowl crucial overs in the middle and must be on the top of their game. Wiaan Mulder and Abhishek Sharma will look to keep the scoring under check as the Royals have good hitters in their lineup.
Sunrisers Hyderabad averaged 13 sixes per match lasts season in the matches played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. In 4 of the 6 matches they smashed 14 or more sixes. Given the firepower in their batting lineup and their reputation of smashing sixes at will, we back SRH to hit over 9.5 sixes in today's match.
Abhishek Sharma has scored 354 runs in 14 matches at Hyderabad, he has been in sublime form in recent times and can be really destructive with his six hitting. Given his recent form, we back Abhishek Sharma to get off to a flyer in today's match against RR.

Sanju Samson is nursing a wound and won't be available as the skipper for the first few games. Riyan Parag will take over the team's captaincy and have a big challenge. The team has struggled against the Sunrisers in the last two seasons, coming here with three consecutive losses. It will be interesting to see if Parag can fill the void and guide his team to a winning start.
Sanju Samson will play as a batter and must deliver a good start in this game along with Yashasvi Jaiswal. The team has a strong middle order and expects partnerships between Riyan Parag, Nitish Rana, and Dhruv Jurel. Shimron Hetmyer is a good finisher, and he will look to add quick runs with Wanindu Hasaranga and Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack will face a massive challenge as the Sunrisers Hyderabad have a strong batting lineup. Jofra Archer is the key bowler on the team, and he must strike early along with Sandeep Sharma. Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana must deliver good spells in the middle overs and keep the scoring under check. The team will also expect Riyan Parag and Tushar Deshpande to do well in the ing roles.
Nitish Rana scored 42 runs in 2 matches last season and was ruled out for remainder of the season due to injury. At Hyderabad in the four IPL matches, Rana has scored 69 runs. Against Sunrisers Hyderabad the left hander has been phenomenal scoring 546 runs in 16 matches, averaging 34.1.

We expect slightly overcast skies over Hyderabad. The batting surface will be good, and batsmen can play their strokes freely. We saw 200+ scores for the team batting first four times last season. The side batting first would like to have more than 200 runs on the board in this game.

High TurnRajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, has excellent batting conditions. Batsmen have done, and they can hit through the line. There isn't much on this track for the fast bowlers, and they must bend their backs to do well. Spinners have enjoyed the conditions and have been successful here.
The average total number of fours in the last six IPL games played at Hyderabad is 30.5. In four of those six games, the total number of fours exceeded 28.5. The last time SRH and RR played at this venue, the total fours count was 32.
SRH won 11 of the 20 coin tosses against RR, for this contest we are backing the home team SRH to win the coin toss.
The average total match score in the last 6 IPL matches played is 398. In four of the six games the match total has gone past 360 runs, with the kind of firepower both teams possess, it is going to be another high scoring game on a good batting track at Hyderabad.
We have seen excellent batting surfaces at this venue. The wicket is flat at the start of the game, and batters can score runs freely. Bowlers have done well in the second innings when the ball starts turning, so the side winning the toss won't hesitate to bat first.
The Rajasthan Royals will start the season with a few injury concerns. The team is a batting powerhouse, but the bowling attack is weak, creating few problems for the side. They need a strong show from their bowling attack to challenge the hosts. The Sunrisers Hyderabad tick all the boxes and have a strong new ball attack and firepower in their batting. We expect a close game, but the Sunrisers will start favorites.
