RPS Team News & Playing 11
Team News
There are no injury concerns for the Rising Pune Supergiant ahead of their clash with Sunrisers Hyderabad. The team is likely to retain the same group of eleven that was part of RPS's 27-run victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last game.
Key Players
Steven Smith has been in tremendous form and he will be the key man in the team's batting lineup. He is averaging 60 and is currently the leading run-scorer for RPS this IPL. Ajinkya Rahane has also been amongst the runs and the team will expect him to provide a good start to the innings. Imran Tahir has taken 8 wickets from five matches - the most by any bowler in the side so far - and he is the one that RPS will be relying upon when it comes to bowling.
Recent Form
Rising Pune Supergiant managed to put their three-match losing streak to an end by beating Royal Challengers Bangalore by 27 runs in their last game. They did not have the best of starts in this tenth edition of the Indian Premier League are placed second-to-bottom on the league table with four points.

SRH Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Sunrisers Hyderabad have all their players fully fit for this upcoming match. The inclusion of Kane Williamson in place of Mohammad Nabi against the Delhi Daredevils worked for the team and he is likely to retain his place in the side.
Key Players
As always, David Warner will be the key in SRH's batting. He has the orange cap on his head having scored 239 runs which includes two fifties from six innings. Shikhar Dhawan has also been in good touch and it will be crucial from the team's perspective that he clicks. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is holding the purple cap for being the leading wicket-taker with 15 wickets to his name while Rashid Khan has also troubled the batsmen with his legbreaks. These two bowlers will be the main weapons in Sunrisers Hyderabad's bowling attack.
Recent Form
Sunrisers Hyderabad are in a strong position with four wins and two defeats from their first six league matches and are one spot below Kolkata Knight Riders at the second place on the IPL leaderboard with eight points. After losing two games in a row, they now have back-to-back wins against Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Daredevils.

RPS vs SRH Head to Head
Rising Pune Supergiant and Sunrisers Hyderabad have played only two matches against each other in the past with both winning one match each. The last time these two sides squared off was at Visakhapatnam in the previous season where SRH edged out RPS by 4 runs. The two teams have never met at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium.
RPS vs SRH Betting Odds
Sunrisers Hyderabad have begun their title defence very well with four wins from six games and the way they are playing their cricket at the moment, they will be tough to beat this season. SRH are favorites to win yet again with best odds of 1.83 with Betfair and 1.72 with Bet365. Rising Pune Supergiant have enormous depth in their batting but they still need to figure out their best bowling combination. RPS are under pressure to have some quick wins under their belt and they are outsiders for this game at 2.08 with 1xbet and 2.10 with bet365.
RPS vs SRH Prediction
Rising Pune Supergiant may be playing at their home ground but their performance here has been very disappointing. Out of their last six matches at this venue, they have been able to win just one of them which won't do their confidence any good coming into this game. Plus, they have faced three defeats in their past four matches and so the pressure to win is going to be huge. Sunrisers Hyderabad will be playing without much pressure as they have done well so far. They are high on confidence with seven wins in their last nine matches and winning back-to-back matches means that momentum is also going to be with them. We thus predict SRH to emerge winners in this contest.
Final Verdict: Back Sunrisers Hyderabad to beat Rising Pune Supergiant in the 24th match of IPL 2017 at 1.83 with 1xbet and 1.72 with bet365.
