The Rajasthan Royals handily defeated the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the eliminator to proceed to the IPL 2024 Qualifier 2.
On Friday, May 24th, they will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. This elimination match will decide who advances to Sunday's final in Chennai to face the Kolkata Knight Riders. With 10 wins to the Rajasthan Royals' 9 in their head-to-head record, Sunrisers Hyderabad presently holds a tiny advantage.
Following a defeat to the Kolkata Knight Riders in Qualifier 1, Sunrisers Hyderabad have another opportunity to reach the IPL finals. After having a rough day in their previous encounter, Hyderabad will be keen to get back on track against the Rajasthan Royals in the forthcoming knockout game.
Hyderabad's openers' play has been key to their success this season. Abhishek Sharma (470 runs at a strike rate of 207) and Travis Head (533 runs at a strike rate of 200) have regularly given the squad explosive beginnings. They have to provide the team with another strong opening stand.
Hyderabad's batting performance in Qualifier 1 was dismal, as both openers fell early. Rahul Tripathi's comeback to form, though, is encouraging. He was the highest scorer in the last game, scoring 55 off 35 balls with composure, demonstrating his ability to lead the innings when necessary.
Heinrich Klaasen is still an important player with his aggressive batting approach and 180 strike rate this season. T Natarajan and captain Pat Cummins will spearhead the attack when bowling.
Travis Head missed out in the last game to a superb delivery from Mitchell Starc. Nonetheless, he has been a standout performer at the top for SRH. With 533 runs in 13 innings at a strike rate of close to 200, Travis head is our pick for the best SRH batter in this match.
Top Batter Stats - Recent Matches
Pat Cummins is a big match player. He has 16 wickets in the season, with 11 in the last 10 matches. He bowls at crucial phases of the match and is always looking for wickets at the cost of going for some runs. Captain Cummins may well be the best bowler for SRH in this crucial encounter.

The Rajasthan Royals were too strong in the Eliminator, winning four games in a row! After regaining focus, the team defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by four wickets, needing 173 runs to be chased down.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, the top opener, scored some significant runs in this pivotal match, which will please the Royals. Jaiswal scored the highest for Rajasthan, scoring 45 off 30 balls.
The Royals' batting lineup has shown depth at crucial junctures. They maintained momentum even after losing a few wickets.Riyan Parag has also been a standout performer for the Rajasthan Royals this season with 567 runs in 13 innings at an amazing strike rate of 151%.
Riyan Parag has re-invented himself this season. In the eliminator, his calculated innings also proved decisive in getting RR over the line. With 567 runs in the series so far, we think Riyan could be the top batter for RR in this game.

In a T20 match, a lot depends on how you bowl in the power play. Not many have bowled better than Trent Boult in the powerplay. With 13 wickets in the season so far, he has given away runs at just about 8 runs per over.
Top Bowler Stats - Recent Matches
Our pick for the player of the match is Travis Head. He missed out in the last game, but the conditions at Chennai might prove useful to him. The ball doesn’t seam much here and is generally a good wicket to bat on. We predict the head would capitalise on that to become the player of the match in this contest.
Both playoff matches have been won by the teams batting second. We expect the same to continue in Chennai when chasing teams have won more than the teams defending the total. The team winning the toss should bowl first here.
The venue for this match is MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. It’s a good wicket to bat on with some assistance to spinners later on. The weather will be partly cloudy and humid in the even with temperatures around 30C.
There’s no separating these two teams. Both have been tremendous this season and are almost at par with each other. We believe, SRH’s strong batting line up and captain Cummins' experience in the knockouts will help them beat RR, but only just.
