Sunrisers Hyderabad is at a key juncture in their IPL campaign, as they prepare to face the high-flying Rajasthan Royals in a crucial encounter in Hyderabad. While the Royals have nearly earned a playoff spot, the stakes are higher for the Sunrisers, who are dealing with chasing issues that have resulted in straight defeats. With five wins and four losses, the 2016 champions are fifth with 10 points, having fallen out of the top four owing to a recent downturn. Even though they have crossed the 250-run threshold three times when batting first, their middle-order and top batsmen have performed poorly during run chases. The Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, have a dominating lead atop the table with 16 points, demonstrating an almost faultless start to the competition. As SRH attempts to solve their chasing issues and stage a comeback, they will encounter a stiff obstacle in the form of the Rajasthan Royals, who are riding high on confidence and momentum.
