SRH vs RR, IPL Toss Result: Today's match players list, teams & umpires for Match 5
The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 5 of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Tuesday. Both sides endured disastrous campaigns last season and hence will be keen to start on a positive note. While the Hyderabad franchise finished last with three wins from 14 games, Rajasthan did only slightly better, registering victories in five of 14 matches.
Despite their disappointing performances last season, both the franchises have retained their captains. Kane Williamson took charge of SRH midway through last season after David Warner was sacked. He should be in a better position to marshal his troops this time round. In the other camp, Sanju Samson will need to ensure that the needless controversy (or prank as RR has termed it) that played out recently over the admin fiasco doesn’t distract the IPL team from the main goal.
Today's IPL toss result
The Sunrisers Hyderabad have won the toss and have opted to field. Explaining his decision, SRH skipper Kane Williamson said:
“I think it will play pretty well, the grass is short and potential dew factor, so we will try and make use of that.”
