Where to watch Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals match today
Summary
Sunrisers Hyderabad would look to fix their chasing troubles and get their campaign back on track when they host the high-flying Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League on Thursday.
In ominous form till a few days back, Sunrisers Hyderabad dropped out of the top four on the points table after suffering back-to-back losses against wooden spooners Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings where they failed to chase down totals. With five wins and four losses, the 2016 champions sit in the fifth spot with 10 points.
The Pat Cummins-led side’s top and middle-order batters have failed collectively while chasing, forcing head coach Daniel Vettori to admit that the idea of going all out with the bat in the second innings might not be the right thing to do. SRH have breached the 250-run mark thrice this season but all while batting first. In contrast, they haven’t managed to chase a total of over 200 even once.
