Match Preview: Momentum vs Home Advantage
The story of this game is one of top style versus local acquaintance. Rajasthan Royals, under the direction of calm but determined Riyan Parag who is currently in second place on the table of points. It was interesting to note that the Royals last week broke their two-game losing streak thanks to a superb forty-run win against The LSG. The other team, Sunrisers Hyderabad are bringing a new kind of energy, a direct, aggressive style, and riding the momentum of three consecutive victories.
I believe the most significant news this evening is the returning from Pat Cummins. He was absent from the opening portion of the tournament due to managing workload and workload management, the Australian captain has returned fit and ready. We know that his presence has a major impact on the SRH's bowling strategy. But the SRH also have a mental advantage after they beat the RR by more than 57 in their last match as well as winning their previous four head-tohead games.

In at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium In most cases, the team chasing enjoys the advantage in the floodlights, particularly. I've noticed that the stadium has traditionally favors teams that are batting second while the chasing side has won about 60% of games.
The pitch is in good condition. You can expect a surface that is batting friendly, with an outfield that is fast. But, the pacer's movement is most likely to occur in the first 3 overs. Then, spinners will start getting their grip on the ball as the game advances.
