Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals are set to battle for the remaining final berth in the IPL 2024 Qualifier 2 on Friday, May 26. SRH suffered a heavy loss against Kolkata Knight Riders in the first Qualifier while RR defeated in-form Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Eliminator to reach his fixture.
Both teams struggled for consistency in the second half of the 2024 season despite finishing in the top four in the points table. Hyderabad’s destructive batting will now face a tough test against Rajasthan’s balanced gameplay at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Focusing on SRH, Pat Cummins replaced Aiden Markram as captain and turned his team into a batting beast. Cummins promised an aggressive style of cricket earlier in the season and delivered it with a record-laden performance.
