PREVIEW FOR DREAM11 FANTASY:
The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have had a pretty good tournament so far in the IPL 2020. They won three out of six games, while they lost the other three. After the 69-run win in the last encounter against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), the ‘Men in Orange’ have managed to shock some powerful teams in the tournament and will be very optimistic.
However, instead of leaving it too late and finding themselves in a desperate situation in the latter half of the season, it is necessary for them to find consistency and win games more often.
As the team from Hyderabad is expected to take on the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their upcoming match, it will be David Warner versus Steve Smith. For the Royals, the last four games of the tournament were a real battle. They have failed to get close to a win anywhere and have bagged big defeats. With Ben Stokes returning for this game, however, they would hope they will change their fortunes and surprise the Sunrisers.
WEATHER REPORT:
The players will be welcomed by a hot afternoon with temperatures approaching almost 36 degrees Celsius. In the late thirties, the rate of humidity will continue.
