Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad will meet in the second IPL match today (May 7). This will be the 18th game between the two teams. In the 17 games played before this one, both teams have won and lost almost evenly. Rajasthan has won 9 matches and Hyderabad has won 8 matches. The recent performance of both teams also seems similar. These teams have lost 4-4 of their last 5 games this season. In such a situation, there will be an equal competition between these teams in today’s match.
The Rajasthan Royals team is very balanced. There are good hitters on the team up to the 9th order and all the hitters have shown their mettle this season. Big names are also involved in this team’s bowling. Among the fast pitchers, Trent Boult and Sandeep Sharma have done their jobs well, while the spin trio Chahal, Ashwin and Zampa have also been effective. In the midst of all this, in the last 5 games, this team has completely lost its winning momentum. The reason for this is negligence or overconfidence, it is hard to say, but in these last 5 matches, deficiencies have been seen in all departments of the Rajasthan team.
There are big names in batting and bowling in Sunrisers Hyderabad but there are irregularities in the performance of this team. From Mayank Agarwal to Aiden Markram, almost every hitter has been able to walk in a couple of games. Here only Heinrich Klaasen is playing good innings in every game. The same goes for bowling. Except for Mayank Markande, most bowlers have been able to leave an impact in just a few matches. The Sunrisers have a strong team, if even 4-5 players do better, then the match can go to the Sunrisers.
Rajasthan Royals lead looks a bit heavy in this match. This team is very powerful and can come back in today’s game, overcoming the poor performance of the last few games. In this season, most of the Rajasthan players have also proved themselves. So in this team you also see more enthusiasm, passion and confidence than SRH.
