RR vs SRH, Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2020
Rajasthan Royals will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 40th match of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Dubai Cricket Ground and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time.
As we move to the business end of the tournament, each game from now stands of utmost important. Rajasthan Royals impressive victory in the last game is evident of the fact that they’re not going down without a fight. Rajasthan hasn’t had the best tournament till now but they still can make through to the playoffs if they can win all their remaining four matches. Having said that, they need to rectify their flaws if there are to keep their hopes alive.
Sanju Samson’s form will be a major headache for Steve Smith now. Samson stated the tournament with a bang but has completely lost momentum in the last few games. The move of playing Ben Stokes at the top hasn’t worked either. Jos Buttler’s magnificent knock in the last game will bring some respite for the RR camp but overall, their batting need to put up a collective show to put a strong case. In the bowling department, Jofra Archer has been bowling exceptionally well but hasn’t got enough support from the rest of the bowlers. To win a tournament like the IPL, you need XI performing players and that’s what Rajasthan will be hoping for against Hyderabad.
Just like Rajasthan, Sunrisers too need to win all their games to cement a place in the playoffs. The problem for SRH has been their over dependence on David Warner and Jonny Bairstow. Kane Williamson hasn’t fully justified his potential so does Manish Pandey and Priyam Garg. In the bowling department, they heavily rely on Rashid Khan to get the job done. T Natarajan has been good but not good enough.
Overall, both teams are on par with each other but we expect Sunrisers Hyderbad to emerge victorious on the match day.

RR vs SRH Toss Prediction
Toss will be crucial for the teams Dubai has been a difficult wicket to chase. However, with dew being a factor too, teams have a tough decision to make.
Weather Report
The weather as usual will be dry and humid.
Pitch Condition
Throughout the tournament, Dubai has been a bat first wicket as chasing teams has found it difficult to score runs in the second innings. The last few game though have given glimpses of the pitch getting better in the second inning, probably because of the dew.
RR Team News & Playing 11
RR Team News
Rajasthan Royals are coming back from an impressive victory over Chennai Super Kings and it’s very unlikely that they’ll tinker with the winning combination.
RR Key Players
- Steven Smith: Steven Smith is an integral part of this RR batting lineup in IPL 2020. With players like Stokes and Buttler in the team, Smith is a sort of batsman that can hold the inning together. He hasn’t had the best of the season so far but will be eager to do well in a do or die situation.
- Jos Buttler: Buttler played a magnificent inning against CSK and will be brimming with confidence. He can be an asset for RR in the final overs and is expected to continue his good run against SRH
- Rahul Tewatiya: Rahul Tewatiya has been invaluable for RR in the tournament. He doesn’t give much away while he’s bowling and with the bat in hand, he’s as handy as anyone. He’ll be another key players in RR’s tussle against SRH.
RR Predicted Playing 11
Robin Uthappa, Jos Buttler (wk), Steven Smith (C), Sanju Samson, Ben Stokes, Rahul Tewatiya, Shreyas Gopal, Riyan Parag, Jofra Archer, Ankit Rajpoot, , Kartik Tyagi
SRH Team News & Playing 11
SRH Team News
Sunrisers Hyderabad as a team are in dire state. Neither their batting looks that stable nor they have a bowling that can challenge a batting lineup as of RR. We expect them to make two changes in the playing XI with Riyag Parag and Basil Thampi being left out for Virat Singh and Khaleel Ahmed. As of now, we don’t have an injury update on Kane Williamson but the way he hobbled in the previous game, he might be rested to prevent him from exaggerating his injury. If that’s the case, Mohammed Nabi will come in as a replacement.
SRH Key Players
- David Warner: David Warner has been in terrific form of late. He stroked a beautiful 47 against KKR in his last game and is expected to continue his good run against RR too.
- Jonny Bairstow: Sunrisers throughout the tournament has been dependent on the duo of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow to get them to a position of stability. Sadly, even after them performing exceptionally well, SRH has struggled as team. Bairstow will be eager to play a match winning knock for his team.
- Rashid Khan: Rashid Khan has been outstanding for Sunrisers. Not only he’s picking up wickets in the middle overs, he’s very economical too. He’ll be key for SRH against RR.
SRH Team Form
Sunrisers Hyderabad has lost their last three matches on the trot.
SRH Predicted Playing 11
David Warner (c), Jonny Bairstow (wk), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson/Mohammed Nabi, Priyam Garg/Virat Singh, Abdul Samad, Vijay Shankar, Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed/Basil Thampi, T Natarajan
