Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are set to take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match number 50 of the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The match is set to be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Thursday, May 2.
The hosts have looked extremely dominant in the tournament, although they have not been flawless. And that has come to bite them in the previous two games, which resulted in losses. Their leaky bowling attack has been overshadowed by record-breaking batting achievements. Even then, their batting unit has shown a tendency to crumble when put under pressure.

And then there's the Sanju Samson-led RR, who have been near perfect this year. Nine games, eight wins, and a solitary loss – it paints a pretty bright picture for the Men in Pink. They are more or less assured of a playoff spot and are the favourites to clinch the title.

Top fantasy picks and tips for SRH vs RR
Batter: Travis Head
The left-handed opener has been in destructive form and is expected to be among the runs after a quiet outing in the previous game against Chennai Super Kings.
Bowler: Trent Boult
Boult has a knack of taking wickets early on in the innings, putting the pressure on the batting team. It's no wonder that he has the most wickets in the first over of an IPL match in the league's history. He'll be pivotal to keeping the SRH opening pair of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma quiet.
All-rounder: Nitish Kumar Reddy
Nitish has emerged as one of the bright prospects in this year's IPL. Reliable with the bat, handy with the ball, Nitish is the go-to all-rounder for this game.
Wicketkeeper: Sanju Samson
His consistent performances this season saw him being rewarded with a call-up to the Indian squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup, and he'll be raring to repay that faith by continuing his incredible form in the middle-order.
