RR vs SRH, IPL 2023: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details
The 52nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 will see the Rajasthan Royals (RR) lock horns with the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur will host this encounter on Sunday, May 7.
Rajasthan Royals have lost their winning momentum at just the wrong time in the tournament, managing only one win from their last five games. They have slipped to fourth place in the points table with 10 points, winning five and losing as many games.
Batting first in their last match against the Gujarat Titans (GT), the Royals' batting unit failed to put up a fight against the in-form Afghan duo of Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed. They were bundled out for just 118 runs in 17.5 overs. In reply, Hardik Pandya’s blistering knock of 39 runs off just 15 balls at a strike rate of 260 ensured that they chased down the target with over six overs to spare.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are currently languishing at the bottom half of the points table with six points, having won three of their nine games so far. The Sunrisers will need to win all of their remaining games if they are to reach the knockout stage.
T. Natarajan and Marco Jansen bowled brilliant spells in their last match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to restrict their opponents to 171/9 in 20 overs. In response, Aiden Markram (41) and Heinrich Klassen (36) played decent knocks but it wasn’t enough as the team fell short of the target by five runs.
