We're about to witness the 50th match of the season between two of the biggest teams to face each other at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. The Rajasthan Royals, who have a massive winning streak under their belt, are at the top and ready to take on Sunrisers Hyderabad, who have a reputation for shattering records that were thought to be unbreakable and defying expectations. The home team's blistering batting exploits have been smashing records, even crossing the 250 mark, but surprisingly, all of these achievements have come when they have batted first. Hyderabad needs to fix this weakness if they want to compete in the knockout stages.
However, Rajasthan, the team that has only dropped one game, is a team full of confidence since their performances have been so steady that they have surpassed everyone else by a wide margin. Up till now, Rajasthan has been this edition's clear leader. Hyderabad will need to present some formidable game plans if they want to end their winning run. Who do you believe will have the upper hand in this intense match?

Since the teams have traditionally favoured to chase at this location, Hyderabad has been a shelter for the batsmen. Due to the way dew affects the game, the pursuing team usually has a better run. In the second half of the game, the slower bowlers will get a chance to speak. Early in the game, Hyderabad's pitch permits some seam movement, which is advantageous for bowlers.
