Abhishek Sharma to score over 24.5 runs
Abhishek Sharma is in great form after playing a fantastic innings in his last match. He likes to attack early in the powerplay and score quickly. The flat pitch in Hyderabad suits his batting style perfectly. His is also very good against high pace and has a great record against Jofra Archer. Backing him to score at least 25 runs is a very smart bet.

SRH vs RR Team Previews
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad are the definite underdogs in this contest but don't write them off completely. They have a very strong batting lineup that can chase any total or simply bat their opposition out of the team. Abhishek Sharma is coming off a fantastic innings in the previous match. He and Travis Head can destroy any bowling attack in the powerplay. Captain Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen add massive power in the middle order.
In the bowling department, Shivang Kumar was very impressive in the last game. He showed great control and took important wickets. If the bowlers like Harshal Patel and Jaydev Unadkat can step up, SRH will be very hard to beat at home.
Keep this in mind, it will take just one miscue from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for SRH to feel they have a real shot in this match.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Expected Playing 11
Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (C & WK), Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Reddy, Liam Livingstone, Aniket Verma, Harsh Dubey, Shivang Kumar, Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat
Impact player: Eshan Malinga / David Payne

Rajasthan Royals
The Rajasthan Royals are unbeaten and sit at the top of the table. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi have given them fast starts all season. Dhruv Jurel has been extremely good at number three as well.
However, RR uses a very high-risk batting approach. They try to attack every single ball. This is a strategy that will not come off every single time.
They also simply do not have the depth to recover if they lose a couple of early wickets.
If the SRH bowlers strike early, the Rajasthan middle order could easily collapse under pressure. Their bowlers, like Ravi Bishnoi and Jofra Archer, have done well so far, but they will face a very tough test against the SRH batters on a flat Hyderabad pitch.
We think RR is the stronger team but it is being overvalued and is simply not good enough value at this point.
Rajasthan Royals Expected Playing 11
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Riyan Parag (C), Dhruv Jurel (WK), Shimron Hetmeyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Sandeep Sharma, Jofra Archer, Tushar Deshpande, Nandre Burger, Ravi Bishnoi
Impact player: Donovan Ferreira / Lhuan-dre Pretorius
SRH vs RR Toss Prediction
In night games in Hyderabad, the team batting second usually has an advantage because of the evening dew. The captain who wins the toss will likely choose to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is very flat and good for batting. The ball comes onto the bat nicely. Fast bowlers can get a little swing early on, but it gets much easier for batters after the first few overs. The team batting first should aim for at least 190 runs to be safe.
The weather will be hot, around 34 degrees. Dew is expected in the second innings. This will make the ball wet and very hard for the bowlers to grip, giving a big advantage to the chasing team.
SRH vs RR : Who Will Win?
Betting on the unbeaten favorite is not always the smartest choice. The Rajasthan Royals play a high-risk game that is due for a bad day. Sunrisers Hyderabad have a powerful batting lineup, the home advantage, and they offer great odds as the underdog. With key players like Abhishek Sharma and Shivang Kumar finding their form, SRH is the smart pick to upset the league leaders.
You also have a great chance of 'cutting' your bet if SRH starts well.
Bet on Sunrisers Hyderabad to win.
