IPL Cricket Match Prediction 2024 | Qualifier 2 | Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals – Can SRH beat RR to confirm the final of the tournament? | May 24

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals Match Analysis

In the second qualifier of the IPL 2024, SRH will play RR. On May 24, the match will take place in Chennai’s Chepauk Stadium and will kick off at 7:30 PM IST.

Although SRH was thoroughly outclassed by KKR in the first qualifier, they still had a chance to go to the championship match because they placed second in the points standings. SRH had some amazing cricketing performances during the competition, leading them to the playoffs, but their losses all had one thing in common: their hitters were unable to score enough runs.  Going into the Qualifier 2, this is SRH’s top concern. The squad needs to win this game, and they cannot afford to have another subpar batting performance.

In the meanwhile, RR defeated RCB handily in the Eliminator to advance to the second knockout round. With a target of 172 to chase, the team won easily by 4 wickets. While the bowlers’ effort would be appreciated by RR, they will be especially happy to see Yashasvi Jaiswal hit some runs in the Eliminator. Despite being out of form, Jaiswal, one of the team’s important batsmen, hit a quick 45 in the most recent match. All things considered, the two sides are matched fairly, and this should be an exciting contest.

Expect no changes within the SRH squad. Although the team did not win against KKR in the first qualifier, nearly every player contributed to the squad’s performance during the competition. If SRH were to make one change, it would be to substitute Jaydev Unadkat for Sanvir Singh, but this is doubtful since Unadkat is a pure bowler and Sanvir gives the batting depth.

Abhishek Sharma was a major contributor to the SRH dominance in the 2024 IPL. At a strike rate of 207, the southpaw scored 470 runs at his most lethal level. If Sharma maintains his form and performs as he has throughout the tournament, SRH’s chances of making the final will greatly improve in a match that has high pressure. Even though Travis Head has been out for ducks in the last two matches, everyone knows that he can win games. Head has amassed over 533 runs in the competition, so don’t be shocked if he performs at his peak in a match that needs to be won.

In IPL 2024, Pat Cummins has given his side all a captain could have done. He has made excellent leadership choices, taken wickets, and scored significant runs. In this season, Cummins has claimed 16 wickets; in Qualifier 2, he hopes to add a few more to his total. With 18 wickets in the league stage, T Natarajan performed extremely well. With his cuts and variations, Natarajan will be SRH’s most potent weapon on a lethargic Chepauk surface.

The starting lineup for RR would likewise not see significant alterations. Sanju Samson acknowledged that he and a few other players are ill, but considering the importance of the match, the players ought to be able to play even if they are not fully healthy.

In the second qualifier, Sanju Samson will be crucial for the RR. Samson hit 521 runs in 14 matches during his incredible IPL 2024 run. For RR to go to the IPL final, the captain will be looking to put on another strong effort in Qualifier 2. This season, Riyan Parag has been effective. Parag showed his ability to win matches with pivotal innings in game after game. His 36 was crucial to RR’s victory over RCB in the first qualifying round, and he hopes to have a similar effect in the second knockout match. In the IPL 2024, Parag scored 567 runs.

Trent Boult bowled a fantastic 1-16 over the RCB. The senior pacer showed his worth in a pivotal match, but the work is far from over. When Boult receives the new ball in Qualifier 2, he will have a task ahead of him because SRH is a top-heavy team. He can blow SRH out to a below-par total if he can remove the top-order bats early. Despite his lackluster performance in the last four matches, Yuzvendra Chahal will greatly benefit from Chennai’s surface. On the lethargic Chepauk surface, Chahal will be Samson’s greatest weapon and may produce his best game of the year.
