SRH vs RR LIVE Score: Here’s what Pat Cummins said –
“That’s fine, we would have bowled. The guys will be aggressive, it’s not going to work everytime, we are going to lose wickets sometimes. We were well below our best a couple of days ago. Another chance tonight, much of the same. (Bowling) It’s an ongoing discussion, this ground is a little bit bigger. We’ve got (Jaydev) Unadkat coming back in the team as well. Aiden Markram comes in,” said SRH captainĀ Pat Cummins.
19:06 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE Score: Rajasthan Royals have same team
“We would like to bowl first looking at the conditions and what Chepauk offers in the second half. We are trying our best to recover, the doctors are doing a great job. We are doing much better. We played 70% of our potential with batting and we managed to cross the line. We’d like to be better. Each and every venue, the dimensions change. We are well equipped to prepare accordingly. Same line-up,” said RR captainĀ Sanju Samson.
18:55 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE Score: Pitch report –
Ian Bishop and Matthew Hayden: “There’s a nice wind coming across the ground. That has helped me keep a little cool because the humidity is quite severe. We are here on pitch number 7 – we haven’t used it at all for this IPL 2024. 61 metres and 72 metres square boundaries – tactically, where the offspiner bowls and where the legspinner bowls come into play. Down the ground – 77 metres – a lot of muscle needed. It looks dark compared to some of the other pitches on the square. This surface is extremely hard. It’s black clay, that means it’ll hold together really well. Whatever moisture has been put into the surface, it’s really going to mesh it all together. I expect a bit of bounce for the seamers, not a lot of turn for the spinners. The only defence for the spinners will be they’ve got that huge boundary to hit up against. In terms of runs, it’s a 175-180 type wicket. We know what Sunrisers Hyderabad’s blueprint is – it’s to score massive. If you do win the toss, Sunrisers will have a bat, put a big load of pressure on the Royals and let’s see how they go. The groundsman says there won’t be any dew.”
18:49 (IST)
LIVE Score: A look into RR’s batting –
RR skipper Sanju Samson will have to do better, given that he hasn’t crossed the 20-run mark in the last three contests. In the middle order, Dhruv Jurel will be under pressure, having failed to enter the double digits in his last two outings. The side would also be relying on its Caribbean game-changers Shimron Hetmyer and West Indies T20 skipper Rovman Powell for some power-hitting that they displayed against RCB. Riyan Parag, who has displayed some serious form this term, is also one of their bankable batters.
18:45 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE Score: Eyes on Yashasvi Jaiswal
As for RR, the side finally ended its five-game winless streak, thanks to its all-round show against RCB. In batting, the top-order displayed some positive signs, especially Yashasvi Jaiswal, and he would love to continue the form ahead of the T20 World Cup in the Americas next month.
18:38 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE: SRH’s spin worries
SRH’s problems lie in not having two quality spinners. Mayank Markande is mediocre at best and Shahbaz Ahmed’s primary skill is willow-wielding, not bowling slow left-arm orthodox tweakers.
18:10 (IST)
LIVE Score: A look into SRH’s bowling –
As for their bowling, the onus would once again be on T Natarajan, who has been SRH’s top wicket-taker this season, and playing on his home turf in Chennai, he would love to exploit the conditions. Also, the experienced duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Cummins have a lot to deal with as the former has been wicket-less in his last two games.
18:07 (IST)
SRH vs RR LIVE Score: Ashwin, Chahal factor for RR
Ravichandran Ashwin, who has played all his cricket at this ground, knows the strip like the back of his hand and his form has improved towards the back-end of the tournament. With the country’s best leg-spinner Chahal for company, Royals would be hoping that Head, Abhishek and Klaasen can be disposed off quickly to gain control of the proceedings.
