Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium - Hyderabad, India
SRH vs RR Head to Head
Sunrisers Hyderabad just edge the head-to-head record with Rajasthan Royals, with five wins from the nine matches they have played against each other. That includes two from two last season, including a nine-wicket win at the Rajiv Gandhi when they restricted Rajasthan to just 125/9.
The most recent meeting saw Kane Williamson top score with 63 in a total of 151/7 at Jaipur, and Ajinkya Rahane’s 65* could not help the Royals to victory – they finished 140/6.
SRH vs RR Betting Odds
Sunrisers Hyderabad have home advantage, won both matches against Rajasthan Royals last year and were beaten finalists last season too. They are favourites to beat Rajasthan Royals at a best price of 1.66 with Betway, while Bet365 are offering 1.61 and Betrally 1.57. Rajasthan are as high as 2.20 with the latter, while Bet365 have them at 2.30 to win.
Sunrisers top-order will be key, especially if Kane Williamson returns to the fray too. Williamson is 4.00 to be their top batsman, while David Warner – who top-scored last time out – is 3.25.
Leading Rajasthan’s batting will be Jos Buttler, who is a best price of 3.30 to be their top batsman for the second consecutive game. Ajinkya Rahane (4.33) and Steve Smith (4.50) also made starts last time out.
The difference maker could be Rashid Khan, however. The Afghanistan spinner was Sunrisers’ most economical bowler last time out and he is 3.25 to be their top bowler again with Bet365.

SRH vs RR Prediction
Sunrisers Hyderabad welcomed David Warner back last time out and were rewarded with a great knock from the disgraced Australian. If he can continue that form, and Kane Williamson marks his return from injury with similarly good batting, then last year’s runners-up have a formidable batting line-up.
Rajasthan lost in some controversy last time out, but the truth was their batting fell short in the later overs and with Rashid Khan to face this time out, it is another difficult game ahead of them.
