It's the match between the teams who are placed at the bottom of the table and have faced nearly similar fortunes so far in their IPL 2021 journey. Sunrisers Hyderabad has won just one game from six matches played by them and is featured in the last position of the IPL 2021 points table. After facing a tough time in the tournament, the team has decided to change the skipper for the Orange Army. David Warner was leading the side and the team management announced the change in leadership and brought in Kane Williamson as their new man. Thus with a renewed zeal and zest, the team will look to apply newer strategies in place.
Whereas, the Rajasthan Royals are placed on number seven of the points table winning a couple of games.RR is also yet to get their combinations right and has struggled hard in the tournament. Needless to say, that both teams will look to seal a win.
